~*~*~*~Well I'll be doggone!!!!~*~*~*~

I did it I did it I did it.!! This morning I went and did the normal daily NO NO and Yep it was right there staring me in the face. them big ol numbers 198. Finally FINALLY under 200 I honestly didn't think it would happen. But it did I know You guys have seen this a million and 1 times but I had to share. THanks to ya'll for helping when I needed it and being here. 287/198/150 Shell

Way To Go SHEll!!!! Getting under 200 was my first goal! I only started at 226 BUT it was my mini-goal. It feels so AWESOME!! HAPPY DANCE FOR YOU!!! Have a great day!! Blessings Tonya

Thanks Your doing good keep it up. I have about 50 to go, can't wait till I an anounce that. Shell

Alright Shell!!! I am so proud of you!! That is WONDERFUL news... and you only have 48# to goal! I was just telling dh an hour ago that "200" was my first huge goal. I'm still a ways away... I'm stuck at 217, largely due to the events of the past few weeks with my MIL's illness and death. Now it will be easier to meet my own dietary requirements. BTW, I was worried about you, hadn't seen you on the boards for a while and hadn't heard from you. Everything ok? Hugs, Rhonna

Hey Rhonna, I have been really busy latley I come here and just scan over post to see what is going on but haven'thung out for awhile. I was really excited about the loss but I got up this morning and it jumped back up to 200. :0( but that is ok I know I can do it and it will show under 200 again. I am glad You are getting back to normal considering, I have been trying to get more water in but have been slacking. Dh took a pic of me the other day and when I put it on the comp I was in shock I could actually tell the differance. I will email it to You I look bad I had been out helping wash his car so I looked bad but for size you can see the change. Check Your mail. Shell

Thanks for the picture! You look GREAT, girl!! One of these days I need to get another picture taken... though the way my hair is falling out, that might not be a good idea! Are you having hair problems yet? Rhonna

Yes my hair is falling out something fierce. No bald spots yet but I haven't ruled out the potetial seems the more i brush the more it comes out so I try not to brush much don't know if that actually helps but I hate seeing all that hair not on my head. How are you tolerating things at this point I am doing way better. Shell

I'm doing pretty good... until I tried a McD's grilled chicken cobb salad a couple days ago. I was out shopping till 2pm with no lunch and knew I needed something FAST. So I stopped and ate a couple of the strips of chicken on the way home. BAD MISTAKE! I got SOOOOOO sick. I was in so much pain that it took two sessions to empty that pouch so I could function again. I do pretty well with chicken if it has a sauce or gravy with it to keep it moist. I just hate having to wash my hair... that is when the hair REALLY comes out. I use a metal Greyhound comb from my dog showing days (Lhasa Apsos) and it helps to not pull it out unnecessarily. But when it's wet, nothing much helps. I'm still taking the supplements and using the Nutri-ox shampoo. I'll be glad when this is done! Now if the scale would just start going down again... this is depressing! Rhonna

I know what you mean about washing the hair. I sure hope this stops like everyone says here in a month or so. I am down to 195 now and saggin like a basset hound. It's aweful. Dh is hoping I don't have a amnioplasty but I told him I have come to far to stop now. I have never not had a flap, I know that sounds nasty and it is that is why I want it gonw ya know. Owell all in time. Are things going better now days? Shell

Hey Shell, This hair situation gets more depressing every day! Soon I'll have no bangs left... I've had to get pretty creative when I style them. LOL 195? WOW!! You GO girl! I've hit 213... seems like it is CRAWLING down... gets frustrating. Thankfully my belly isn't too bad (yet) and it's nice and flat, thank goodness. I really don't want PS, though my thighs are saggin pretty bad these days! LOL And boobs... well, let's just not even go there! I'm going to try and get to the Monday support meeting... any chance you can come? Rhonna
