Update

I just wanted to send a quick post and let everyone know a little about how I have been doing. I am now 5 months out. My start weight was 279 and I am down to 171. I have been doing really well with my food and everything. I exercise when I can which is not everyday like I would liek for it to be. I have been able to keep everything down that I eat. The only thing that I have had a problem is that my hair is falling out like crazy. Well I hope that everyone is having a great day and I wish everyone good luck on the losing side.

Congratulations Crystal! You are doing wonderful...Over 100 lbs in 5 months is awesome! Keep up the good work! Nancy

WTG WOW YOUR LOSS IS GREAT!! I wish you blessed days. CHER

Congratulations! WTG on your weight loss. Over 100 lbs in 5 months you should be very proud of yourself. I myself can't wait to get below the 200lbs mark. That is one of my biggest milestones I'm reaching for but I'm at a plateau right now and I know it's temporary. My hair is falling out like crazy too. I don't know if I should get it cut short or just go with the flow and hope when it starts growing back it will catch up with the rest. What do you think???? Deborah W. 298/218/170

The 200 lb mark was my first goal, the 175, and mow my goal is 150 lbs. It has been hard work I am like you and at a plateau right now but I hope that I can start back my excercise this week so that should help. I started taking Bioten they are like $2.00 for 60 tablets at Wal-Mart and I take one tablet in the morning and one at night.. This has helped some, my hairdresser told me to start them and I talked to the surgeon and he said they were fine. It is still falling out a lot but not as bad. I thought about getting mine cut...shoulder length now, but I really do not want short hair I have worked a long time getting mine this long. Right now no one has noticed my hair is falling out like crazy unless you look in my bathroom. LOL! my Hairdresser suggested to put layer if different lengths in it and it has made it look a lot fuller. I would try that first espically if you like the length of your hair. Well I need to run. I hope that this helps and good luck getting to your goal. Crystal www.marykay.com/crystalgarland
