Topic: RE: Three cartons of ice cream
That's awesome.
FOr me... the way I look at food has changed drastically. It doesn't comfort me and I don't want it unless I need it. I look at food from strictly a nutritional standpoint. I think, "wow, I'm excited to eat that because of all the protein in it," rather than overeating. I don't think about food hardly at all, other than as a necessary part of life. I find comfort in other things now, healthier. When I'm bored, I pick up a book or go for a jog rather than eat something I shouldn't. I only eat my three meals a day and am not tempted to eat stuff I shouldn't. It's awesome. No diet ever did this for me. Diets made me force myself not to do what I wanted. This tool has actually CHANGED what I wanted. Unbelieveable....

I find my monthly cycle affects things big time - up to 5 lbs most months! Also, if I lessen up my water, that changes things. WIth the extra salt we ate over Thanksgiving, we're probably retaining a lot of water. I haven't lost what I usually lose so you're not alone. I'm sure in another week or so when we all get back on track with water/exercise, we'll notice the results again! I remember when my grandma went through this, she had her ups and downs - quite normal, I'm sure. Keep going... don't get discouraged! 
Topic: RE: Onederland!!!!!!
That's AWESOME!!! Congratulations... only 39 lbs to go... keep it up!! I think you and I are about the same in numbers. I started at 262 and am about 193 or so now. My first goal is 150 and then I'll see if I want to go another 10 or even 15 but we'll see....
Keep up the good work!!
Topic: RE: Hair Loss?!?!
Oh I WISH I were in Hawaii right now!! It was 12 degrees when I left for work at 7:30 this morning!! We have about 6 inches of snow on the ground, too!!
Yeah, I started noticing the hair loss about 3 weeks ago in the shower only, but now it's on my clothes and brush, too! It's coming out a lot but like I said, my hairdresser and everyone has always said I have a LOT of hair - not necessarily thick in size, but a LOT of it. I could almost see my hairdresser cringe when I'd get highlights cause it takes like 3 hours to do it all, lol. So, I'm hoping that'll be my saving grace. I think my hair now is like what the average person has in volume, so I'm not freaking out but I'm worried that if I KEEP losing like I have been, it'll start to look really bad. I just want to know how long it will last!!
Thanks for responding!!
