I am proud of my progress

[shdyldy]

I started dieting and exercising 10 weeks ago. I walk 2.7 miles a day and work out on an exercise machine (with resistance bands) about 3 times a week. I do not eat after 6p.m. I eat light for breakfast and dinner but anything I want for lunch. I started out at 200 lbs. and now weigh 172. I am 5'5" by the way. I take a multivitamin everyday to account for what I am not eating. I also take 2 chromium picolinate tablets everyday with my vitamin (which were recommended by my Dr.) The only thing I have a problem with is my stomach. Two years ago, I had a 25 lb tumor taken out of my stomach along with an ovary. I was cut from below my breasts to the bottom of my stomach. 44 staples. I am afraid that I will never be able to tone this section up.

you've lost wt which is great but it's hardly going to work in the long run, what you're doing now (pills instead of food is simply ridiculous)

yoú also probably have a lot of scar tissue where your tupor was which may need to be massaged out depending on the quality of the doctor who worked on you

I would get your Doctor to change your Chromium.

There has been serious issues back in 2001, about Genotoxicity, (mutation of DNA), with the Picolinate type Chromium, plus links to baldness in men, not sure about Alupecia in women, as that is theorised as an autoimmune disorder, basically the immune system attacks the body.

Though it being an AD, is just theory.

Picolinate also in good testing, caused Ovarian cancer in Hamsters. I don't recall if that was based on human doses, or scaled down doses, to simulate a similar Chromium to tissue mass ratio, one scenario obviously being more significant than the other, but it should still be a consideration either way.

You could look to things like Nicotinate, Chromate and Polynicotinate which have less of a chequered history.

Also Multi-vitamins don't always digest properly, and force you to have set doses of Macronutrients, unlike food, where you can to some extent control your own intake through food, by the way you cut, slice and crush certain foods.
