3 Month Follow Up...

I just got back from my 3 month check up & I am so happy to report that I have lost 113.3lbs & according to the Dr I am doing fabulously (I lost 50lbs since the last time I was there... 70 since surgery)!!!   As she walked in the room she was saying "You had better have a huge smile on your face!!"... I did... my cheeks still hurt!! She said I am doing everything right & am even getting in enough protein (I was concerned because I wasn't totally sure what the required amt was)!!! I told her I was concerned about my hair - while not falling out I do have a little thinning that is bothering me (according to my hairdresser it's not as bad as I seem to think) so anyway, she told me to start taking Biotin so I will be adding that to the pile of pills in the morning!!! So I guess I am finally heading in the right direction!! I am soooo happy!! I go back in 3 months & I want to have lost at least 150lbs total!!!  Thanks everybody for your support... it's meant a lot to me!!!! This board is a much nicer place to be than some others!!!!

HOLY!  I've never heard of such success!  Congrats to you!!!  Keep up the great work!  With that type of determination you'll hit that mark for sure! xo

CONGRATS!!!!! Your are doing soooo great and so proud of yourself!!!!!

What a wonderful sucess storey -

113.3 pounds is amazing to lose.



Michelle...

Thanks you guys!! It really hasn't sunk in either!!! I still have about 150+ more to go to get anywhere near where I think I want to be!!! It makes me wonder how fast the next 100 will come off!!! I know that it is going to move quickly for a while just because of the amount of excess weight I have but I never imagined in would be this quick... it's almost like a pound a day!! So I guess when I have to smell McD's fries or KFC chicken on the other side of my cubicle the "torture" is worth not giving in!!! (I know they smell much better than they'll taste... who the heck ever thought I'd be saying that?!!)

Now, if I could just get off my butt more often!!!! When is this weather going to break?!!!

Cece, OMG!!!! Congratulations!!!  You are doing a FAB-U-LOUS job!  You are my hero! Rosemary 277/180/140

Ha!! You're too funny!!! I don't think anyone has ever called me their hero!!! I'll wear the cape with honor!!!    I'll tell ya though - you guys who have been going through this longer & have been doing so well are my heros!!!! You all rock!!!

Cece,  About the biotin...my Optisource has biotin in it...what vitamin supplement do you use? Rosemary

They have me taking Flintstones Chewables... I asked about using another brand & they said not just yet. I'll just gra b a bottle of biotin tonight when I hit the store & see how things go!!!

They also have a hair treatment with biotin in it...you might want to check that out Rosemary

Cool - thanks!!! I'll take whatever I can get!! I will do whatever I can short of buying the spray on hair!!!
