Things are going well. I am a little bit more tired than usual, but overall I am doing well. I am getting in my protein, trying my best to get more than about 400+ calories in per day and losing weight like a fiend! I am now down 86 pounds and getting really excited about reaching the 100 pounds lost mark!
I am noticing more and more loose and sagging skin. It's all over - my neck, my face, my arms, my legs, my butt and my stomach. I guess I was pretty much packed full like a damn sausage. :( I continue to use my "Firming Lotion" on all of the saggy parts and I actually have noticed that my arms are sucking up a little bit. I've been reading more about skin removal and tummy tucks. It seems some plastic surgeons are recommending that we wait for a year after reaching goal to see what will truly be necessary and what will suck up on it's own. I'm not sure I can drag this skin around for another 18 months, but it may be what is required. Uggghhh...
I still don't see any new growth of hair and I am more and more lacking with every passing day. I wake up every morning with dreadlocks (two of them to be exact). My falling hair just keeps tangling in itself and making a nasty mess for me to comb everyday. I keep wondering just when exactly it might stop falling out. It's starting to really look like it's ALL going to come out. A friend's nutritionist assures me that it will grow back and might even be thicker than before due to all of the good vitamins and protein. I'm as always HIGHLY impatient. It's going to be years before my hair is back at any decent length.... This part sucks for sure.
My new goal is to be below 200 pounds by March 1, 2013. I am 47 pounds from 200 right now, so I am well on my way!
