    Hi Risty,

    This is Jerri. Somehow I lost my connection so I couldn't get in.
    I read about your hair loss. Me too! I was told it was to little protein, so I increased it a lot. Seems to be doing better. I am at 240, but I am really struggling with my snacking. I started eating nuts for the protein and I think I' getting hooked. Got to go back to the start I guess.
  2. yea im going thru it really bad now to the point i hate taking showers.. from what i read alot of people go thru it i have an appt with my doc on monday next week and im going to ask what he recommends... i dont have bald spots or anything but handfulls fall out when i shower and i shed constantly to the point my husband is always wiping off the back of my shirt its just easier with my hair shorter to deal with. the good news i heard it only lasts about 3-4 months then it starts coming back in fuller so we will see lol i do have a new pic to post today about my weight loss .. im not sure what im at till next monday at my appointment but i know when i stopped in at my docs for blood work 2 weeks ago i was down to about 234

    How's your journey going so far? I have a question for you. I noticed in the before and after picture that you posted that your hair is short in the after photo. Is that because your hair was falling out? I have long hair and I so don't want to cut it but I feel like I may have to. Did you go through this?
  4. Lol well i dunno about that but Im here if i can help in anyway this journey is different for all of us im just lucky that me being head strong has finally paid off in a positive way for myself I wish you nothing but success on your journey as well BrnIdGirl !

Updating My blog...

by Risty on 09-12-2013 at 11:41 AM
So, Today i am at day 142 i believe and i just went to the doc am at 228 lbs... not to bad eh? if any of you know me you know i dont care much for the scale but the feeling i get inside and out when i am able to be more active or even just get off the couch instead of dreading it, having to push myself off.... or looking around to see who else is around to get that glass of water or the remote for me.

I am starting to see the person i havent seen for years in ther mirror, somehow

Day 87 ... and getting hungry o.o

by Risty on 07-18-2013 at 02:22 PM
SO.. this last week has been the hardiest for me .. yes including the first week or two or three when i couldnt intake anything for days...

Its hardiest for me because i started working out massively this last month and in return i get hunger. I feel great working out. I actually hate putting in the work but i love the feeling i get afterwards, mentally i get a sense of accomplishment and confidence in myself and my abilities. physically, My clothes are getting much looser and

Hello everyone

Its been awhile since i posted on here havnt really been at the computer much lately its really only there so i can do my bi-weekly bills .. it's weird to think how much time i use to waste on my pc... 8-12 hours a day doing nothing but Facebook games, WoW, socializing and random stuff now i spend about 2 hours every week or two on it. just touching base with people that live outta state and doing my income stuff.

But i wanted to document some progress

5 weeks post Op PICS!

by Risty on 05-29-2013 at 08:15 PM
Ok so its been 14 yrs since i had my last child. I have looked pregnant for a long time.. I noticed in the mirror today that i dont, as much anyway..

so i thought i would post my first body shots i have ever takin ... or allowed to be takin of myself.

I'm 5-8 and didnt think the last 40 lbs in 5 weeks would make much of a diffrence sight wise..



I think i was wrong, what do you think?
