Jumped out of 4 year stall with lightening speed! Pics in profile.
Still cannot figure this out. Lost 150 lbs, low weight around 230, gained 20, settled in for 4 years around 250. I am tall and was comfortable with that. I had no problems with planes, roller coasters, booths or buying clothes. Then, in December, started losing again. Down to around 145 and a size 10. CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY! My appetite came back with a HUGE vengeance and it seems like the more I eat, the more I lose. I eat brisket and burgers and steak every day. I drink whole milk (but also a LOT of Crystal Light, and I have never had a non-diet soda, pre or post surgery). I love a baked potato the size of my head with lots of butter, cheese and sour cream. I snack on high fat cheese. I eat anything I want any time I want. I fired up the grill at 2 am the other night to toast marshmallows. I go to Dollywood all the time and always have the steak and cheese, homemade french fries, fried banana pudding, Dippin' Dots, anything I want.
YES! I have been to the doctor. My glucose was 70, LDL 81, HDL 67, blood pressure 100/60. My BMI is 20, down from about 55 pre-surgery. The only problem was that I am anemic. I am on folic acid and get B12 shots. I am otherwise very healthy, according to more than one doctor (internist, gastroenterologist and hematologist).
I have NEVER exercised in my life, but someone challenged me to a treadmill race at the gym (where I go only to watch my son swim, never to actually exercise) and, never being one to turn down a challenge, I won, finishing a mile in 8:12.
Sorry for the long post, but I am puzzled. Is this normal? Has this happened to anyone else? This has to end soon, right?
Thanks!
