Hair falling out!!

Yes, it has happened. I knew it was going to happen, just thought that maybe it would decide not. My hair starting falling out about a week ago. Nothing major!! Nothing noticable except when I brush my hair or wash my hair.

The hair loss will stop eventually. Probably when the weight loss stops.

I will keep you posted.

p.s. I apologize for the lack of updates. I promise to keep up with the updates. Next doctor visit is 11/7/06 (election day!!)

XL T-Shirt

I mentioned in my last update that I do now fit into an XL T-shirt comfortably.
You can see in the picture below that I am wearing an XL shirt.


Current Vitamins/Supplements

This is a current list of all Vitamin/Supplements that I am taking:

1 Multi-Vitamin (walgreens brand, with iron)

2 Citrical +D calcium (ultra dense 500mg’s a piece)

1 B-12

1 B-100 Complex

1 Daily Iron Supplement

The Iron Supplement is my choice. The last blood test showed I was on the low end for Iron.

Long Time No Post/Update

20 weeks tomorrow!!! WOW!!! In the last 20 weeks I certainly have become a different person. I am the same old me don't get me wrong, I just feel like a new me within the old me. I hope that made sense.
Everything from the blood test turned out OK. My iron level was on the low side. They suggested I add a daily vitamin that had iron in it or take an iron supplement. I added an iron supplement once a day. To see if that brings my level back up. My Vitamins B's are turned out ok. I had nothing to worry about there.
I finally fit into and XL shirt comfortably. I can't tell you how long it has been since I was able to wear and XL shirt.
I am currently down to 243 pounds. Running total of 132 pounds down. I love it!!!
I will be taking my 5 month photos on October 19th. I will wear an XL shirt for those pictures. Who knows, maybe a large shirt??? Hehehehe! I'm pushing it, I know.
I don't have to see the doctor now until November 7th. That will be my 6 week check up (24 weeks). I am hoping to be down to 235 by then.
