I heard that on South Beach you can eat fruit and I love fruit. I am going to check into that plan.

Doing good with my eating though and the weight is coming off. I know I have already lost 30 pounds but I may have lost more by now because my clothes are really falling off me.
I took some of them in so I could wear them for awhile longer and now they are loose on me again.
I do not weigh myself but get weighed when I see my doctor and thats usually every couple of months or so. I see him again on July 8th. again.

I am still doing my exercising to in the pool and my legs seem to be getting alittle more strength in them so I am hoping soon they will be good enough to start my walking plan.
My hip and knees are still bothing me though and I need to work on them to. I have been getting some injections in them that help for awhile but not lasting but a few weeks.
May one day need some surgery on my knees I am told.

I am determined to lose my weight and so far so good.
I can tell I have lost some in my middle area of my body where I hold most my weight and I am happy about that, but I am afraid I will get alot of loose skin there when I do lose more weight. I do not think my insurance will cover to have any loose skin removal..
My under arms are flabby to and I don't like that but I have been exercising them them like crazy hoping I can firm them up.

I wished I had never allowed myself to get this big in the first place. I just don't know why I did, I don't understand it at all.
Now I am paying the price for being obese, bad health, loose skin on me and just plain ugly and fat.

Now that I have decided to lose the weight and really do it this time and (not just talk about doing it,) I am finding alot of
things happening to my body that I really did not realize would happen, like the flabby loose skin.
Well I guess loose skin is better than bad health and dying.
So I will find a way to live with it.

I will keep you posted on my weight lost journey and maybe one day I can be a normal person without all this weight on me.
Maybe I will be able to ride in the rides at fairs and Disney World and walk without all this huffing and puffing and my knees will stop hurting and I can walk normal again.
I just want to be like a normal person thats all.
And I will one day, you wait and see.
