I kept my Protein intake up around 100 grams a day and had no hair loss. A dermatologist told me the hair loss is a protein deficiency. The Biotin seems like its working because it helps to thicken the hair and make it stronger. To minimalize hair loss most definitely increase your protein intake Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

Compelling. Soooo many things on this list is me talking. For instance....I wish I had known how lonely I would be once I lost the weight. Or how much my relationship would change (no longer in one) because I have changed. Or how self conscious I've become. Or the all time biggie...the depression. Depressed I believe because of the aloneness. I assume I need to get out and make all new acquaintances.... people who don't know that I was recently morbidly obese or people who don't think my face is to slim or I look "different" because they've never seen me before the weight loss. Although I have no regrets this journey has been mentally and emotionally exhausting, and I'm only 9 months out. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

Weight lifting helps a lot. Or any type of resistance training...but I know the weights make a noticeable difference. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using RNYTalk

Yes very beautiful. I can see your inner beauty and happiness shining through which is making you glow!

Total weight loss 99 lbs.!!! I now refer to my self as the little engine that could! Its been slow but I'm getting there! Only 26 lbs to go!!! Yipee! Surgery date was 3/21/2012 and I started at 285. I now weigh 186. I'm 5'6"...so on the tall side for a female. My surgeon says although my weight loss has been less dramatic than that of others on this site, the plan he has for me and where I should be at this point in time I'm ahead of schedule! So wonderful to hear! I am satisfied. Not even 9 months out yet! My personal goal was to be -100 lbs by my birthday so I need to lose 1 lb by December 30

Congratulations! Down 200 lbs! Keep up the good work
