losing 1.2 lb a week
28 March 2014
So I have lost 23 pounds so far. In the last two weeks around 7 or 8 times, I have started to get lightheaded and my eyesight goes fuzzy. Yesterday was my day OFF work and I was home along with my 4 year old daughter. I had just woke up and I was sitting on the couch. I then got up and went to the kitchen and all of a sudden I got lightheaded and all I could see was black. I thought for sure I was going to faint. It lasted about a 1/2 minute and then I was ok. The whole time I was think ALL MY GOD DO NOT FAINT, MY DAUGHTER WILL BE ALL BY HERSELF. That was it for me, I called my doctor and told them what happened and made a appointment for today at 1:00pm. When I got to the office the nurse called me back and did the usual things. She asked me what was wrong, took my weight and then it is time for my Blood Pressure. That's when things got scary. She took it the first time and said that can't be right. Then she took it again and again. Then she asked me to stand up and took it again. Then she said that's scary. Something you never want to hear a nurse say. I asked her what was my blood pressure and she said 80/60. I am like are you joking and she said NO. You see normal is around 100/70 and mine was WAY TOO LOW. I am on Blood Pressure medicine and when I saw the doctor and she said what have I change in my diet that would make my blood pressure go so low. I said the only thing is I am eating healthier and lost 23 pounds. She said that it is the weight loss that did it. She said I may never need the medicine again but for now she wants me OFF THE MEDICINE and to take my blood pressure everyday for the next three weeks and call her if it stays low or goes to high. I have another appointment in 3 weeks to talk to her more about it. Also she said I have to drink V8 juice three times a day till Monday, which by then the drugs should be out of my system. She said that V8 juice is loaded with Sodium and that makes your blood pressure go up, which is what I need right now. I read the juice and it is LOADED with a Crazy amount of sodium. 920mg 38% of your Daily Value. At least it is only 70 calories a can but I hate the taste of it. I never did like the taste of tomato juice but my Doctor did say they make it with Low Sodium too and it is a great thing to drink when on a diet because it has a lot of good for you vegetables in it. I read the label and it has tomatoes, carrots, celery, beets, parsley, lettuce, watercress, spinach in it. It does sound like a healthy drink for someone but I just can't get past the tomato juice taste I hate. Well I am now on this journey to see if I can be off the medicine forever. Another great blessing of losing weight.

steady weight
24 March 2014
This has been my best week ever because I am down 3 pounds and I know I am now ONLY 4 pounds away from the 150's. I stared at 185 pounds and I haven't seen the 150's in over 10 years and I am so amazed how close I am. I have to say that I finally have got over the hurdle of feeling like I am starving. My body now knows this is my food intake for the day and it is finally happy with it. I think also once your body shrinks in size it doesn't feel it needs so many calories. I can't wait to see what next week brings. I am so glad I found FATSECRET because it has made a HUGE difference to help me lose the weight!!!

losing 5.3 lb a week
21 March 2014
I woke up today and did my daily weigh in and can't believe what I saw...Finally I am half way there. I lost 20 pounds in 7 weeks. I still can not believe I am losing this weight I have carried for 5 years since I quite smoking, but really more like 10 years. When I married my husband in 2003 I weight 140 pounds and in 10 years the 40 pound weight has been creeping on.
The greatest thing happened for the first time today and it really made my day. A guy at work that I never talk to much walked up and said "Are you losing weight". The first person that notice my weight loss that did not know I was on a diet. I have been waiting to see if people would notice and FINALLY someone did. It just made my day and I wanted to share my thoughts.
