Bridget, plateau, my 6 month
Hey everyone, wanted to give an update on my 6 month check and was very surprised to here that Bridget is "done." Is that what Kelly told you? I am 7 months out and Kelly seemed sure I was going to lose another 15 pounds or more and honestly, everyone tells me not to lose another ounce???? What is up w/that? I stopped losing weight for about a month between the beginning of Aug to Sept and just lost like 13 pounds...was stuck at 178 and now am 165 w/my period. All in about 4 weeks. I'm a size 9/10 at 5 foot 8 and am really pleased, but I don't know how Kelly can make that call because we are all so different. Let me know what she said. Also let me add that the "75%" of your excess weight usually comes off. The reason it isn't 100% is because they use national health insurance guidlines for our height and weight and those tend to be rather low. Also, Callery or someone fudged on my height...they have me at 5 foot 6 which is ridiculous, but they also have my goal at 140...if I lost 25 more pounds people would stop me in the street and offer me food!!! I'd look like my daughter's grandma not her mommy...should I go on??!! Anyway, my checkup was good, great actually. All blood levels perfect...yea!!! I don't have to take iron. And Kelly said my bp was too low. She got a reading of 112/70 and I took it at Longs about 10 days ago and got a reading of 93/70....way low. So I called my pcp and he said to stop the meds!!!! Cool, because they cost $89 a month. I don't have much of an appetite lately, sometimes food even grosses me out...just looking at it much less eating it. I had to force feed yesterday, and I'm not doing much better today. Just feeling yuck...low bp, period (sorry boys!!). But I am keeping up w/liquids. Anyone know if they make sugar free gatorade?? I've got to go see. Anyway, so insurance is paying for the plastic surgery??? I need a tummy tuck at the minimum and would like the legs done, but the price is probably scary. Just got a job yesterday at the Sweetwater Union School district............yipppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeee!!! Love to all.
