Hair Loss - it's official



Recommended Posts

Teresa, good theory. Nobody ever listened to me when I told them I could never have long hair because I'm so tall. Now think about that... If I were closer to the ground, my hair would be closer to the ground, and thereby longer.

I also believe the world can only weigh a certain amount or it will spin off its axis. Therefore, while we are losing weight, somebody has to be gaining it. What's interesting about this theory is that I think the fat has to stay within your own family or circle of friends. Chris is actually getting fat. Nobody in his entire family lineage has ever been fat. He only has one brother, Kelly, who wears sweat pants under his jeans all year round to pad them because he can't find Levi's cuz he's too skinny. So as I lose, Chris gains... and one of my co-workers is getting a little chunky.

LOL!!! Yeah my hubby is getting the tummy too! His family is all pretty darned skinny also. Maybe there is something to your theory Lisa. :) Teresa

Just remember that I'm the one who said it first, cuz when someone wins some big Nobel Prize or whatever that fancy prize is that smarties like me get, the thing better have my name on it!

I havent actually tried this... ( I am actually sooo slow, I have been blaming my Hair loss on the hair colouring I used a few months ago.....) anyway, some of my friends swear that herbalife shakes completely stopped their hair loss when they were breast feeding. I, personally, cant stand the taste ( even the 'new and improved one -yuck) since my mom made me go on the herbalife program every few months when I was young ( didn't work of course :)

so i guess basically its about nutrition.....

cheers

tellie

ps, teresa, I like that theory!

Thanks, Tellie. I'm taking special hair Vitamins along with my other Vitamins that are supposed to be the best on the market, so I'm sure they have most of the same junk as Herbalife, which is also on my list of failed diets that I've tried in the past.

How is everyone today? I'm wiped out. I think something's wrong with me like anemia or lack of life? After waking up, it takes over an hour to get out of bed. I'm dragging. I'm taking Iron and tons of vitamins but I'm lifeless. Could this be thyroid medication that I started taking a couple months ago? Could I be catching up with 30 years of severe insomnia? Or is this really just OWD like my husband says? Olt Woman Disorder.

I think it's "two-job-syndrome".

Girl, give yourself a break!!

Could it be your age? LOL!!! I think it is anemia, lack of some kind of nutrition in your system, not enough Protein maybe. Guessing here? Check with your Doc on the Thyroid meds. You could just have the "dropsy."

LOL

You know what, now that I think about it, my legs are hairier....

I used to have REAL thick hair, my pony tail was ridiculous... So I like my hair now, it is much easier to do. BUT.... It has thinned a lot and really hasn't come back. My daughter has hair just like me, and hers has not thinned. So I don't know the answer. I just want to talk....lol.... Honestly, It is coming back, just not as thick as it was... :)

I thought we already established that I have Dropsy since I drop things all the time. Donali, shut up. Yes, my feet are throbbing and I'm wondering what the heck I'm doing working so hard for so little, but you're gonna be damn jealous when you see my foxy new top and 3 pairs of earrings from this evening's purchase!

Love, Fat Tired Bald Girl

Especially financial stress... LOL. It seems like you are spending more than you are earning Miss Lisa. Maybe you should drop the second job, you would be richer. :D Teresa

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
