the hair...

On the 17th, it was 3 months for me. While things are going well and I'm happy with my weightloss, these last 2 days my hair is falling out like crazy. I knew this could happen, but I'm still nervous about it. How's your hair holding up?

my hair isnt falling out thank the Lord. but i am taking supplements too. biotin and b-12 they are both suppose to help with hair loss.

I had my surgery on the 17th too, I have a lot of hair and so always tend to lose a lot, I do feel like I am losing more than usual now, but not enough to worry me yet.  However I've lost slower than most people, so maybe that's helping with the hair loss?

I heard about the hair loss and thought I was doing well.  I've got fine hair anyway, but the other day I went to comb some wind blown snarls out of my hair and could not belive what was happening!!  It was almost coming out in clumps, long clump strands, not the usual shedding.  I bought the Biotin to start immediately, but really concerned how much I'll lose before this kicks in and help prevent or regrow any hair.
I'm almost thinking Rogaine for Women that's how scary this is!!
Very nervous about this as well.  Wondering should I get my hair cut some.  Anything anyone heard better than taking the Biotin?

I am freaking out over the hair loss too. I am loosing lots of hair every day. I get all my protien in, but I am not going to take biotin. Everyone I have talked to said they get new hair growth in unwanted places.......Yikes. Hopefully our hairloss will slow down soon.

I had my 3 month chechup with my nutritionist and she found out my body is not showing all the protein I am taking in (which was between 70 and 100g a day) and my levels are low.  She has me now doing more than 100g a day, actually told me to up it to 120 a day, but I am still working on that.  It explained well to me why my hair began falling out around the 2 month mark...well that plus my thyroid being out of whack, so I am now on synthroid as well.

I find visiting this forum with my fellow Marchers very helpful   But this Hair loss has me feelijng very unhapy and very ugly ....I did not loose 70 pounds to look ugly but I do.....

Does anyone know when it might start growing back...I feel like Iam older then I am and just not attractive anymore.   Even at my highest I always felt somewhat attractive but this is unnerving.

Thanks for the support   good luck to you all

My hair has continued to fall out. I started taking zinc and biotin 2 weeks ago and it hasn't done anything yet and today I shelled out $40 for the Nioxin. I have always had thick hair, so I felt I had some to loose, but now I can't imagine having thinner hair. I'm hoping I'm almost done with this phase...How long is this suppost to last?

I usually have heard that it takes a minimum of a month for naything you add to help with the amount of hair loss and that even without adding anything you usually will quit losing by 6 months and then will begin regrowing.
