Today I got on the scale and I lot a total of 65lbs I am so happy I wear a size 18 and can't wait to get smaller hopefull I wi be in a 16 by Christmas.

Hey June Bugs! I too am losing some of my hair. It isn't too thin yet, but it's getting there. I asked my nutritionist about it and she suggested I take 50 mg of zinc per day in addition to my regular daily vitamin...as well as making sure I get in 60-80 protein per day. I'm going to try it and see how I do. Good luck to you all...I may have really short hair soon...wouldn't be the first time! Faye

I had problems very similar to yours. I had nausea and dry heaves that were relentless. I was one miserable person. They finally found out after two trips back to the hospital that I had an ulcer and sinus drainage. Once I was treated for that, I got much better. Now, I am eating and I feel much better. Once I was able to keep some vitamins down, I felt better also.

Jami, You are doing great. Yes, you have lost a lot, but, my doctor says, the bigger patients lose more faster. You know, as well, that everyone here says to make the most of your first 6 months. You are taking everyone's advice. I am 2 weeks behind you (06/28/04) and I am at 70lbs. That is according to my scale at work. I go tomorrow for my 3 month check up and it might be more who knows. So I say keep on rocking girl and don't beat yourself up because you are ahead of most of us!! mary kay

Thanks everyone for your support with my hair. I truly love this group of people. I know I haven't been around much lately, but I do check in from time to time to see how everyone is. This is my very busy season (everyone wants their homes completely redone by the holidays.) I generally get to come up for air on Christmas Eve, assuming I'm not helping a client get ready for a party that night. Since Chris and I are taking the cruise in November, I really have to get ahead. I am going to try the shampoo for my hair, so maybe I'll get some new growth sooner. I've been religious about vitamins and protein, so it shouldn't be that. I had blood work done last week, because of extreme fatique. Those results will be in tomorrow maybe. We'll see how my levels are. I am so appreciative of everyone here, and I cannot wait to see as many of you as possible on October 9. Thank you all! -Paige
