Re: cross posted: mary y st.louis 3 mo blood test results/ also inches lost

[Guest guest]

mary,

congratulations on all your lost inches and pounds!! i

haven't kept track of inches just the weight - i've

lost 58 lbs. and my clothes are definitely too big but

i'm still wearing them. i don't want to buy any

clothes until i've reached my stopping point. i can't

afford clothes in a whole bunch of sizes. i'm going

for my 3 month check-up on 11/14, so i'll be almost 4

months by then.

glad you are doing well!

,

The blood work seems to look pretty good. What did the doc say? More

protein?

The inches is an amazing thing to see. When I get my surgery I am

definitely going to do inches too. Maybe that will help me believe that it

is all really happening. LOL

Congratulations!!!!

thanks joann! sounds like you are doing pretty good yourself. i

know what you mean about buying clothes when the wt loss is

continuing. i can't afford that either, so i am gonna check out the

thrift stores like goodwill and salvation army. i think i will have

to get some new undies for sure tho! my panties are like bloomers!

and my boobs are about to fall out the bottom of my bras! i keep

hitching them up, but they just slide back down! LOL

and my heels are flopping in my shoes too! but it was time for new

shoes anyway.

take care!
