I'm going bald...

I feel like those hairy dogs in the springtime who lose their winter coat.  This has been going on for about 2 weeks like most of you.  I went to my hair lady the other day and she told me that no matter what diet you go on, there will be a point where your hair is gonna fall out.  Said she's seen it a bunch of times.

My hair is fine but there is a bunch of it.  It'll grow back.

I feel you, Kriste.  I never had a nice body but I always had smooth skin and good hair.  Now, I still don't have a nice body, my hair is falling out and I'm getting really wrinkly!

This has been happening to me a lot lately. I knew it was going to happen but having most of my hair falling out and it being so much thinner has kind of freaked me out. I know it is worth it but it is just stressing me out. Need to schedule a time to go get it cut. Glad to know I'm not alone in this.

Wow! We really are in the same boat! I'm thinking about cutting it shorter.  I usually wear my hair in a chin length bob, but when I started losing weight last year I decided to grow my hair out.  I have never been skinny or had long hair, so I thought I would give it a try.  But with all the sheading, I think I am going to go short again.  At least it will be shorter hair falling out. 

I am having the same problem.  I didn't think it would start this soon but I am slacking a little bit in the protein department.  My hair  is really thick but it has already started thinning out.  I notice it when I take a shower and brush my hair.  My husband said that he can't tell but I KNOW and it is driving me crazy.  I am back on the protein regiment like I should be but are there any other vitamins we can take?

Yup, me to. It's not coming out in handfuls, but I cannot run my hands through my hair at all, that I won't have at least 3 strands come out, and I am shedding lightly as well. I'm waiting for the clumps aiyee.

My hair has been falling out for about six weeks, but the last 2 weeks it has been falling out much heavier. I am taking Biotin 5000 mcg once a day. I also make sure I'm taking all my other vitamins.

I guess we're on the same hair loss schedule since we all had surgery in July. I have also been thinking about getting a shorter cut. However, I set a goal of losing 20 lbs. before I get my haircut. I may have to readjust that.

It has also crossed my mind that I might want to look into getting a wig if things get really bad. I have no idea how to shop for a wig. I never thought I'd need one. Maybe some cute scarves would better. I'm not that bad yet though.

I had also thought about getting highlights or coloring my hair for a reward, but have decided not to until my hair loss subsides. I don't think adding chemicals to an excessive hair loss situation would be a good idea right now.

I'm 50 years old and going through an "awkward stage". My clothes are too big, my hair is falling out, and my arm pits are getting really wrinkly.  I don't want to order any more ugly clothes out of the Lane Bryant catalog.  I need to lose more weight so I can buy off the rack. I'm just trying to keep my eyes on the prize.
