3 months out--quick update
Down 53 lbs in 3 months, doing well so far. Only think is my NUT is not crazy about my iron levels but am supplementing more now and have more labs soon. I just noticed today though, my BMI is finally out of the 40's. That makes me happy, I started out a lot closer to 50 than I wanted but now am just below 40. Whew.
On the one hand I feel like I've done really well, on the other I feel like I should have lost more like some of the other sleevers already. I guess I'm just different and I do know I have been stuck in several stalls over the last month or so.
I am also currently taking prednisone which I have had to take 2 times per year since I have been alive because of my asthma and it's making me SO hungry. Weird feeling, I never really had that before I guess because I ate so much it didn't matter. I find myself sitting or laying down and my stomach makes HUGE loud noises. Odd.
I was hoping to be at 85 lbs lost by my wedding anniversary which is July 8, I realize that won't happen but I am going to work hard to make it to 60 lbs lost by then. Some work friends of mine have convinced me to do a half marathon in November, I have to start training now. I just started the "Couch to 5K" program right before I got sick, so after I'm done with the asthma junk for this season, I am going back out for training and swimming too. I am actually kind of excited to wear a swimsuit this year, kinda. Not thrilled. Just wonder how I'm gonna look in one, it's been a while.
Well, I tried to post pics in here but it woulnd't let me, those interested can check out my profile and see the month pics I added. The only difference I can really see so far is in my face, I think I look my age now. :) Hope everyone is having a great day!
