I weighed in at my sleep study on May 7th at 296 lbs (with clothes on). We figured 3 lbs for clothing, so I was 293 lbs at that point. (HORRIFYING!) Ugh. I've never been so heavy.
I got my CPAP on the 14th, and have been using it faithfully since then (except for Quest, because I didn't have a battery yet for it). And wow. What a difference.
Biggest difference? I stepped on my scale this morning and it said:
285.8
I've lost nearly 10 lbs in a month!!! And it's not that I've been exercising or anything out of the ordinary - I've been SLEEPING. For the first time in years.
And when I actually sleep at night, I wake up before my alarm clock and I'm not tired. I don't crave the high-fat, high-sugar foods that I used to - I'm craving fresh foods. I'm even passing on things like soda. And chocolate.
Shocking, huh? Damn, I should have done a sleep study sooner.
I haven't given up on my donation/exercise - I just haven't had a lot of time to record it. I'm getting back to it tomorrow, though. I'll post the new totals then.
Guys, I feel so awesome. I can't wait to keep on this path.

Watch out - next year, I'll be in that bikini with Valerie Bertinelli! :P (Okay, maybe not, but I'll be feeling a lot better in my tankini!)

And by using your CPAP, you're cutting your risk of a stroke by 35% - another good reason to use it!
