hey, listen, you just must deal with the hair, this is one of those down points to the greatest thing that ever happened to you. i had my hair cut shorter and layered and it helped, also use stuff for body like a root lifter, they really help, remember it will stop and it definately grow back. eat more protein, try different kinds of chicken, the brown meat is easier to eat, kentucky fried chicken is the easiest because it is moist, not dry!!! zone bars and u-turn bars are both high protein bars and taste rather good, you can get them at wallmart!!! hope i helped you some!!! take care!!!

Congrats on your AWESOME weight loss Stephanie! Caroline

SoCal WLS trip to Disneyland and California Adventure (in Anaheim, CA) is next Sunday, January 11, 2004! My hubby (Alan) and I will be arriving at 8:30 am in the morning before the parks first open and leave at 10 pm when Disneyland closes. We'd like to invite anyone who might be interested in joining us for this fun filled day at the happiest place on earth! We will be gathering from 8:30 am to 9 am in front of the Guest Services area which is outside and to the left of CA Adventure's entrance (near the kiosks and restrooms between Disneyland and CA Adventure, closer to CA Adventure). (This is a fairly quiet area and will allow us to locate one another.) Once we all gather and meet, we will head over to CA Adventure together. My hubby and I have passes for both parks so we will spend half the day in CA Adventure and then at 4:30 pm, venture over to Disneyland. For anyone who'd like to go only to Disneyland, we will meet at the Guest Services area (as described above) from 4:00 pm to 4:30 pm and then go into Disneyland together. One day passes for one park are $47.00 for those ages 10+ and $37.00 for those ages 3 to 9. Disneyland Resort also offers Park-Hopper passports, Multi-Day passports, and Annual 2-park passports with special pricing for SoCal residents (this is the best deal for only $105. More info on pricing (and ticket purchases) can be found out by visiting Disneyland Resort's website at www.disneyland.com and then click on "Tickets & Reservations". I'll be sure to continue to give any updates and reminders as January 11th draws near! I so hope you'll join us!!!
