last summer when my hair was falling out like crazy, my doc ordered a bunch of bloodwork. i was supposed to make an appt. to go in and see him for the results...well, i finally did go, today!
first of all, he was SHOCKED to see me. in all, i have lost almost 70 pounds but about 45 since he saw me last. my BP was a little high but that could be due to the fact that i had to sit and wait for him for TWO HOURS~.
he told me that the bloodwork could not look better than it does. my thyroid is great, all the hormones are great but best of all, my cholesterol is FANTASTIC! he said the ratios are really good and the bad cholesterol number is GREAT! he was really excited and of course...wanted to know HOW. when i told him, he was even MORE excited. he is a real advocate of atkins. he was also thrilled with my level of exercise.
bad news is that he is referring me to a "gyno-urologist" for a pesky problem....hopefully we can get that resolved but all the rest is good news!!! and...the hair is not falling out anymore. now i am waiting for it to grow back. i am glad to know that atkins did more than help me drop the weight. the numbers show that it IS healthy. you can't argue with those numbers!!! i am doing the happy dance tonight.

and her hair is falling out too. So, it doesn't matter which direction the weight fluctuation goes...the same stress reaction happens.
You make us all proud!
