Things have been great but...

So I've lost about 65 lbs in less than 4 months and I'm so happy, but my hair has started to fall out big time just in this last week. I knew it could happen, but it is sad. Anyone else beginning to deal with this. How long do you think it will last?

I'm there - but haven't seen the clumps... but if you see my head, you would see I've lost clumps! I can see through to my scalp very clearly, and it all seems to be concentrated at the front of my head, most noticeable. I look like I'm balding and have not been handling this well emotionally at all. I never imagined it would look like this. I hope it doesn't last long.

Congrads on your wonderful weight loss!! I have to do a little for you!!! Concerning the hair loss, I am also loosing my hair, not a whole lot but still loosing. I am hoping that it will stop soon. Any ideas let me know... Hugs,

I have been dealing with this for some time now. There's not much we can do about it other than increase protein and make sure you take your vitamins!!! I take Biotin twice a day and use Nioxin shampoo/conditioner. These won't prevent the hair loss but they help with the new hair growth. It is an awful thing to have to deal with but I would sooner lose my hair than stay heavy! My dietician said at this point our hair can't keep up with the weight loss and that's why we lose it. It doesn't happen to everyone but unfortunately it happened to us. The good news is, it DOES grow back!! Hang in there Allison

Hi Melissa. I'm having the same problem. And, like Michelle, I'm losing my hair mostly from the front! I hate it....and am having problems dealing with it. I really need a trim, but don't want to lose any length I have currently - in case I need to do a comeover!! Hopefully it won't last for too long and we'll soon have nice thick beautiful hair again. The good news is, it eventually does grow back in. I think I've heard the hair loss is worst between months 4-8. Susan

Combover, Susan??? That's too funny. Shall I start calling you " The Donald" now?

ROFL!!!! Well...I'm not that bad yet, but if it keeps going you can start calling me DJ for "Donald Jr." Susan

Welcome to the "hair club for women" lmaoo Yup most of us I think have started dealing with this. I have been dealing with it since 2 months out!! I find though that when I keep my protein up that not as much comes out at a time lol. How long will it last? I have heard anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Don't quote me though as everyone is different and everyones info is different to lol. *huggles* Felicia
