NO Teatimed, not at all. It is worse!! I get scared that it is going to all fall out. When I comb my hair and wash it gobs fall out. I have pretty thick hair and I only notice a little on the part and no one else notices but it has to stop soon or I will have to get that spray on stuff, ha ha.

TEATIMED- We had surgery the same day and YES. I have tons of hairloss. There are so many different views on why we actually lose hair, but my Dr,. said it is going to happen regardless of protein, no protein, biotin, vitamins etc. But then my nutritionis has the opposite opinion. My hair lady said it was from the anesthesia so who know! LOL

I am at 4 months as of the 24th of Jnauary. I have slowed WAY down on weight loss and even gained 3 pounds this week. I am eating way too many carbs because they go down so easy and do not upset my stomach as much. I noticed I can eat so much more now too.

NGMA!!!! I have to tell you this, It is hilarious! Last week I was bragging to you that I have NEVER got Jury Duty etc.etc. and guess what I got in the mail today???? I could not believe it, I was floored. Had to share with you. MOM123- I have some major hair loss going as well and I process and curl and blow dry my hair. There is an AWESOME conditioner at Sallys, you can get it online if you do not have a Sallys. It is called Natures Therapy Mega Moisture Nurturing Cream. I LOVE it. It does not leave my hair greasy and it is so silky and really targets the split ends. Wont do much for hairloss though.

Bad bad bad week for me too. Too much went in my mouth that should not have been there.i noticed I am able to eat more too! Crap, I'm worried.

ONEDERLAND!!! Finally. I am losing a lot slower now I notice. I have been way more disciplined the last couple of weeks. Still an occasional munchy now and then but not like the holidays. RYBECCA- U look great!! I see the treadmill in the background, good for you! FOR ME- 30 pounds to goal??? That is so awesome. Congrats. NGMA- You go girl! I am still waiting for someone to hit on me, lol. My hubby wont leave me alone, but that doesnt count cause he has always been a horndog with me fat or thin. And I dont know why I am not ever called to do Jury Duty. They must know me, ha ha. ARTSONG- Sounds like you have a plan! Do you find it hard counting the caories because the quanities? Like, one bite equals X amount of calories?? Thats why I stopped MFP because the count was never accurate. MOM123- I always love when I go number 2. I feel skinner every time, ha ha. GREEN- Whattup?? How you doing girl?

NGMA- I was so happy that I hit 16. (I still am a 16) Now I am sick of being a 16! My goal is a 12, I think it is a perfect size. Would you believe I am almost 40 years old and I have never had jury duty???

I have not flown since the surgery but that has cross my mind. It is always embarrassing when the detector goes off and you have to do the search.

Awesome!!!! I can not WAIT to b a size 10!

I'm a little bit colder but it had been extra chilly in SoCal this winter! This week it is 78-8o degrees though so it nice to warm my feet up again!

Pcos is poly cystic ovarian syndrome. It is a hormonal/metabolic issue women have. The signs are no period, hair loss, facial hair growth,weight gain and other wonderful things. One of the issues is it is really hard to lose weight even with weight loss surgery. They recommend a very low carb diet with this because the way we break down sugar is like that of a diabetic. Metformin is a medication that we take to help with the symptoms. The dr says that as we lose weight the symptoms improve but nothing has changed here for me. I have not had my period since my daughter was born in October of 2010! Almost 2 1/2 years. If you have any of these symptoms it might behoove you to get it checked out! GREEN- I am on 1000 mg right now. My surgeon said Ido t have to take it but my obgyn told me to continue taking it. Who do I listen to??

SCARED- Do you know if you have thyroid issues or PCOS? I have PCOS and it is very difficult for me to lose weight. I am on Metformin and I think that has helped a little. Dont be discouraged. Maybe you are not eating enough calories?

Researching- where do u live? I'm in OC! And man it has been freezing for my SoCal blood!

Green- Thank you sooo much! I do well all week when I am at work and then on the weekend when I am home, I graze. Darn Goldfish Crackers!! LOL, I do want it so bad. I repented today and had only my protein shake, water, and a small spinach salad. I wish someone lived by me and we could go walk together.

WOOHOO Velena!!!

JENN31MA- LOL, this stuff would TOTALLY work. I have used this too and was going to reccomend but I forgot the name. Like you said though, bathroom should be handy!!

I know NGMA! I am such a slacker. The Miralax is just a stool softner. The Senecot has a MILD stimulant. That would be good for your immediate relief. Colace is only a stool softner so you may have to wait a couple of days . Poor thing, I totally hate being backed up.

GO GREEN!!!! And I am not talking about the Packers, lol NGMA- I had the WORST Constipation at first, like being in labor and Dr told me to take Miralax AND Senecot. It helps. Of course she ragged on me for not drinking enough water and exercise. I take Metformin now because I have PCOS and it gives me the runs so I am clear in that area. Artsong and SUPEEP- Congrats. I do a happy dance whenever I break a stall.Had a break in my stall last week but now nothin. ;( CMALONEY- OMG How do you do it? Very good results!! I know I keep complaining about hair, but now my nails are sooo brittle too. I kicked the door with my toe and my nail completely split.I was picking at my pinky and my ENTIRE nail came off. WTH?? Today I have decided I am going to force this protein if it kills me. And water too. Oh, and I ate too many carbs this weekend. Just getting it off my chest. LOL

I lost another 2 pounds....Unfortunately, I think it was all hair.

MOMOFTHING123 Awww, I pray for your hubbys safe return. Tell him I said "thank you" for serving our country!!! At least you will have the "sleeve" to preoccupy your mind while he is gone. I do find it is getting easier and easier now to not obsess so much about it.

This is a good place to start. I tried MY Fitness Pal and had a problem tracking my food since I barely ate a serving. We all have hard days and it is good to have someone slap some sense into me once and a while.

NGMA!!! Get a hold of yourself, LOL No but seriously, I only say that cuz I am right with you in this struggle. Ok. Like you said, back to the basics. NO snacking. It may be ok for some but not for me. For breakfast have a protein shake and then immediately begin your water intake. For lunch, have a sandwich or chicken or another type of protein. I can buy a half of sandwich and take 2 bites and then another two bites or 3 in another hour. Then have a small garden salad. Or string cheese, egg or something like that. NO sweets and no bad carbs. Stay whole grain and fruits/veggies. I know you can do this. WE can do this. I would definitely not beat yourself up though because its not like you are eating a ton of food. Just think back on what you used to eat until now. That had to have been reduced, right. There are thin people in my office that have a cookie or chips and they are still thin. I used to eat like 3 cookies and 2 bags of chips and now I am just eating normal portions. So therefore we WILL lose weight. Right??
