Six Months and all is well

Just had my 6 month checkup. Here are the facts: I have lost 75% of my excess weight and despite what people keep saying to me...I am fine to keep going. My BMI is 28.1. I am low on Vitamin A and my protein is down. I do need to increase my physical activity as that will only help to enforce and maintain the weight loss efforts. I now okay to start taking Calcium supplements as long as I stay above the 48 oz of water daily.

Here is my question: does anyone else have to take supplements for Vitamin A? The only thing I can seem to find are the softgels and I am not sure if I am able to take those. Aren't they kind of big?

For the protein, I am trying to find a local Walgreens that carries "Beneprotein". Anyone know of a local store or do I have to go online to get it?

That's all folks.

Hi Ramona, Yes you looked absolutely fantastic on Saturday.                               "CONGRATULATIONS"!!! I had Walgreen's in Eagan special order it for me; and I thought they had priced it pretty high. So the next time I ordered online.  By the time I figured shipping into the price, they  came out pretty close to one another. Hugs, Granny Eileen.

Congratulations on your weight loss - you look marvelous!!  I am jealous - it took me a year to get my BMI down to 28 and it still isn't as low as yours. 

Sorry I can't help with the Vitamin A - I am doing okay with that.  Are you just now taking calcium sups?

Just wanted to congratulate you on your six month check up --- when you walked in last Saturday, SEVERAL of us said "Holy Crap" she looks good!!!!  You're getting so tiny!!!! XXOO


Fitness is not about age or a size -- it's really about an attitude and life style!!!
Life is not measured by the number of breathes we take, but by the moments that take our breathe away~~

I'm with Barb, when I saw you on Saturday I thought someone new had joined our group - your body is shrinking, your hair color changed...Does hubby even recognize you anymore???  Maybe he's fantasizing that he's with a new woman because he doesn't recognize you!!!  LOL You're looking great Ramona!  Sorry to hear that you're low on some things - but better to find out now than when it's a problem. See ya at coffee on Saturday in Hopkins???

Thanks Tracy. I will have to ask Jerry about the fantasizing part. I haven't noticed any romantic overtures in that direction. Maybe its because of the changes. As for the hair color...beats the grey. No, I don't go to coffee in Hopkins.
