January 13, 2007 - Saturday - I have not been posting much but i have been sticking to the program. I am a little frustrated because I am not losing many pounds lately. I am losing inches and am happy about that but since we measure success on this forum by the number of pounds lost I feel like am a less than successful right now.
The great thing is the exercise bug has hit me big time. I am going to the gym every morning with my son’s girlfriend and I am still walking every evening with my husband for 30 min to an hour. If anyone had told me I would like working out this much a month ago I would have laughed in their face. It helps keep me on track with my program because I don't want all that work to be for nothing.
I have been going through some medical tests as part of an entire physical which will end with a colonoscopy some time in February. The good news is my blood pressure, cholesterol, hormones and thyroid tests came back normal (actually very good tests results for all these items) the bad news is that my glucose tests came back high and have to be repeated. My father and sister had/have (my father is deceased) type 1 diabetes. I have always been concerned about having diabetes and do not know why the tests came back high.
Ok, one other thing, my hair is still falling out AND new hair is not growing. I know it is not my hormones or thyroid because of the recent test results. So what is causing it? I have been using Nioxin, taking fishoil, primrose oil, biotin and a hair & nail vitimine but there has been no improvement. The hair loss just keep getting worse and worse.
I have checked other postings on this forum regarding hair loss but have not seen an answer to WHY I started losing my hair (like many other Medifast users) after being on the program for about 5 months. I would appreciate any additional advice from anyone that knows why or has had the same problem and solved it.
Thanks all,
PJ
