So today is the 4 month mark! the weight loss has REALLY slowed down for me but I guess my body is getting used to all of this. Biggest problem is the hair loss. I am almost bald on top and have cut my hair really short now - ala Twiggy back in the day! Or someone the other day said it reminded them of Sharon Stone when her hair was really short. Oh well, I'm fine with the short hair - just doing a little more eye makeup and big hoop earrings. . .LOL!

I know I need to focus more on exercising. My schedule has been a bit hectic with travel and even my normal schedule but I need to find the time to incorporate exercise into the schedule.

I saw my oldest son in Vegas on Tuesday when I was there for business and he walked right past me and didn't recognize me - partially because of the short hair but also because of the weight loss. So I guess that's a good sign :-)

Anyway, loving my sleeve and looking forward to when the hair stops falling out. I've bought 5 wigs already but can't seem to be able to wear one. I guess I'll hold out a little longer as long as I still have SOME hair on my head.

All in all, it is SO worth it! I might just end up being a skinny chick with a shaved head and great eye makeup!

hahaha! I have hair down to my waist... I do middle eastern dancing for fun, and the hair is kind of a prop... Im thinking Im going to have to cut too....trying not to be TOO attached. I have had short hair before many times... so there ya go. I like your attitude. Out comes the makeup and earrings for sure!

Congrats Pam and your looking good. I so hear you about the hair thing, I'm starting to freak out. I know I have thick hair but my god it's thinning fast. Seeing my boobs are all but gone I cant lose my hair too, lol. Isn't that amazing when people don't recognize you??? It's mind blowing to me. Can't wait to see you in March and see how you look then

Congrats!

Congrats. I think most of us decide to cut our hair - makes us a bit sassier in my opinion.

Plus, I cut off so much I lost a 1/2 pound!

Good Job! Consider the exercise your ace in the hole, it should help you start losing during the stall. I also decided that if I lose much more hair I am cutting it and wearing cute hats until it comes back in.

You are doing an amazing job!!! Keep it up!!! Wow - fabulous!

Congrats on the weight loss so far! You inspire me!

We all know about the "hair thing" but I love your attitude - short and sassy - it will grow back. I have fine thin hair already - not looking forward to what I know will soon come. But like you, I will just make may eyes "POP" with a little extra make-up, some big earrings and jewelry as a diversion! It will grow back eventually - but who is looking at your hair when they are noticing your amazing transformation?

Well done sleeve sister - keep up the great work and keep posting, I love following your journey.

Hugs!

Kim

Congrats on the weight loss so far, Pam! I'm with you on the hair loss -- I still have my long hair, and I haven't gotten to the point where you can see scalp yet (I have super thick hair -- or maybe I should say had) so I'm waiting to see if it gets terrible . . . where did you buy your wigs?? I guess I should start thinking about that possibility - sigh.

Isn't it wonderful! My mom came to visit me this past Thanksgiving I went to pick her up at the airport (I had lost about 145Lbs by then) and my own mom didn't recognize me. . she just wandered away as i galloped behind her, coffee in hand yelling ma!!!! When she turned around and saw me there she just stared and asked "is that really you" Then of course in the next breath . . "what happened to your beautiful hair" ugh gotta love em!

Congratulations to you! You're doing wonderfully, keep up the good work! Only don't shave your head! leave that to Brittney Spears! :lol:

Kim ~ Thanks so much for your support! What a journey this is, huh?

Julie ~ I bought a couple of the wigs online at www.wig.com and a couple of them at a local wig store. I went into a wig store and asked a bunch of questions before I bought online because I had no clue what I was looking for or how to decipher the terminology!

ThinOneDay ~ Congratulations again on your fabulous weight loss! WOW! You have done an amazing job!

sounds like it's time foryou to update your pic!

My hubby took my 4 month pics this morning so as soon as he gets them into the computer I will post the new short hair look!

I was advised to take Biotin, disolvable B-12 and niocin to help prevent so much hair loss. Just a suggestion. I know that I am going to give them a go for sure!

I can't wait to see your new pic! I am so happy for you. I am dreading the hair loss, but I guess it is worth it to have a hot body, right? LOL Congrats on all of your success!!!

LOL Just wait until people accuse your husband of having an affair. Thinking you are someone else.
