...I had to laugh at this because I have been taking so many more myself for the same reason!! lol...it's great isn't it?? By the way you're looking fab!! I just browsed your profile. I really need to get some pictures of my "new" self on mine. I am scared to take them though because I still feel really big...it's my mind I guess...

I have been lucky and not lost too much. I am starting to notice more in my hairbrush though. I have thin hair so I am nervous about this. But so far so good. My nutritionist told me hair loss usually peaks between 4 and 6 months. Good luck! :D

Good for you April. I still just don't like belts though I need one as my new jeans are already starting to get baggy! I have bought most of my clothes at St. Vincent De Paul Thrift Store since I have been running through the sizes. I was so elated the other day because I needed an outfit for a concert (had to be all black) and went in and found one no problem. Top and skirt for $4.00. Not too bad! I also just cleaned out all my bigger clothes. I sacked them up for my neice to go through since she can't afford alot. She's not real big but she is big boned and tall and likes things loose so loves my hand-me-downs! I know she puts them to good use so that makes me feel better. Try some progesterone cream for the hormone fluctuations. It helps balance the estrodial and testosterone. You can get it at Walmart too! Diona

Well, I am going to join this crowd...I too am losing my hair. Not a lot just a few strands but enough for me to notice. Thank goodness, my hair is very thick. I am doing great with my protein and have had several surgeries in the past so I don't think it has to do with the anesthesia. I think it is just part of the process. I take my vitamins too. Yes, it will come back, just not sure when or how long it will last. Hang in there. Jodi

UMMM..I have never owed a belt in my whole adult life.. ever ever!! And now.. because of my ever so lovely "fluxing hormones".. this all just makes me want to cry.. but I am holding it together.. and besides it's a really cute belt.. hehe Go Wal-Mart!! Petty Kash is so right.. the security cameras there are a wonderul trip for your psyche!! In the last several weeks I have had to pack up some of my favorite clothes for the consignment shop. In my first go around with the whole 'clothing purge' it was real easy to get rid of all that big shtuff. But lately.. I am having to get rid of what I thought were my ""skinny clothes"".. the ones I couldn't wait to fit into again. It's been hard on me.. 'I adore these clothes. I should also confess that some of the clothes still have tags on them because I had them put away as "dream outfits".. and then.. I kinda blew right through the sizes thus never getting around to wearing them.. I know.. it's soo bad!!! Don't tell my fiancé.. hehe So now I am wondering.. why is this so hard? I think at this stage of the process you find yourself thinking, "what if I gain it back.. I won't have any cute clothes." Arghh.. what a dumb security blanket!! I think it is because I feel fantastic now. Of course I want to loose all of my excess weight.. but if I did end up 'right here'.. I would still be happy with myself.. anyhoo.. Wal-mart has really cute clothes.. I love how 'girly' the fashions are these days!! I think updating the wardrobe with inexpensive finds is really good for one's esteem during this whole process.. but then I get sad all over again because I know that I am just going to have to get rid of these cute new clothes when I loose more weight.. I can't win!!! hehe Yeah.. I'm having one those days!! But I do have one new lovely belt!! April 254/191/140esh?
