Under 40

Just reached under 40 pounds to go. Still a lot of course nearly 3
stone but fact I'm down 7 and half stones is bloody wonderful. More
than the weight loss though is the energy and health I am feeling. The
running around after kids, having energy for doing projects even after
a workout and work and more energy for wonderful hubby. He's been
amazing in this journey. So supportive and I can understand folks who
get discouraged because they don't have that support. It's as
important in the journey to stop your head hunger. Also got back to
the gym so yeah! I'll keep exercising away and hopefully hit my
milestone by next year

Pick a colour ;)

Wiggy wig

So my chiro told me not surprised that my hair is falling out since I
also was under general for my kidney surgery there. Never mind the
hormone drop post pregnancy and weight loss. It's true it's been a lot
worse since surgery but figure kidney stones were worse. Here's
another creation. Thank God for eBay and cheap shipping from
Hong Kong ;) they are seriously good wigs. You wouldn't know they were
fake only that I'm changing them every day or so. My Mammy always
teased me that she never knew what colour hair I'd have at airport and
now she's right! ;) They breathe well though as nets are built in so
none of that halloween scratchy hot head you get normally

I wore red long hair one last week on Friday. Loved it. Mostly I do my
kinda length of medium bob. Although there's a blonde, white and even
a blue one coming soon. Hell if I'm going to look like jean luc Picard
might as well go wiggin it ;)

Dress and updated photos

Can't remember last time was in a dress. Went to target with hubby and
kids Sat night and picked up a couple of things for work as clothes
are now falling off me. In a good way

Hair today gone tomorrow.

So many of us have bad hair days. Mine well it's coming out in clumps
but since wearing wigs having a lot of fun.

Today not wearing one, going au natural with my fine baby hair and
thinking a cap later on if it gets much hotter.

I wore a wig to work 3 times this week. One a black bobish kind of
cut that got rave reviews from co workers and facebook friends. All of
them at work thought was a haircut but I told them it was a wig. Don't
want to have to explain later with changing hairstyles, although these
are the same guys who didn't notice I had lost 100 pounds lol. On
Friday I had long red hair with blonde highlights and fun with it. I'm
getting wigs on eBay and cheap but they don't look cheap. They have
nets built in and breathe really well so I feel grand and don't have
that itchy head syndrome that you get a Halloween with cheap wigs.

Coming soon is blonde, white and blue and some more mid length ones.

Pretty common side effect of rapid weight loss - losing hair and then
it also happens post pregnancy so double whammy. Plus let's face it I
never had very thick locks anyway. I was pretty much bald till 2 yrs
old. Good thing I'm not Samson ;)

The wigs are my new fashion accessory. Taking lemons and making
lemonade folks. If I'm going to look baldy for rest of year then I'm
going to look fab dahling !

Wig

Here's me in one of my wigs. My hair has got so fine and falling out
with post pregnancy and weight loss. It's nice not to worry about bald
patches when you have a wig on and got lots of nice comments today.
Folks thought I got hair done but told them it was a wig as didn't
want too shocked when it's back to thin hair day

150 days out

So Exercise slowed down with getting the kidney stones out and surgery
but started to lose weight after stones came out. Being strict on the
no carbs except glass of wine maybe once a week but getting back to
working out. Finally under 200 and over 105 pounds gone now. I'm not
saying lost 10 pounds because I don't want it bloody back!
