Check out my 22's!!

Hey everyone! Hope you all had a lovely holiday. Mine was great. I am glad that it's over with now. The tempations have been so great the past month and I know it's affected my weight loss.. or lack there of. I haven't had a chance to weigh myself this month, but I know I'm down some since I went from a 24 to a 22 this past month. I'm pretty happy about that.. almost in disbelief. From a tight 30/32 to 22?!?! I have an updated pic in my new jeans. I could probably wear 18/20's if I didn't have this apron hanging. One thing at a time right?? ALSO! Since I cut my hair, the hairloss has almost stopped. I was getting scared there for a while. I lose a little more than normal, but not the gobs I was losing. I'm still pretty scared that this is the weight I'm going to stop at.. but this new year (perfect timing for motivation) is going to be full of new things and I have goals this year.. so we shall see how that goes. I just need to focus, get back on track and stay away from the junk. Speaking of the New Year.. does anyone else have some resolutions for this upcoming year?? Thank you.. to everyone that's followed me and helped me on my journey. I don't know what I would do without this board. Take care, Michelle

Congratulations Michelle! Great news --- isn't it nice to drop another size? I am very happy to hear the hair loss has stopped. I am not sure about mine. I still lose hair, not much, but I don't see anything growing back and the texture is absolutely disgusting! It's not soft and shiny anymore. It's like brittle, dry and frizzy. I am a mess! Oh well - I have to take a lot of time styling it. But I stress about my hair everyday the way I used to stress about my weight. Like you said, one thing at a time .. right? Tara

TARA I AM GOING THROUGH THE SAME WITH MY HAIR, OF CLUMPS IN MY DRAIN. WHEN DOES IT STOP I HATE MY HAIR.MY HUSBAND SAYS YOUR NOT EATING ENOUGH PROTEIN.I WAS TRYING TO GROW OUT MY LAYERS AND IT SEEMS I HAVE SHORT LAYERS NOW MY HAIR IS JUST BREAKING OFF.ANY SUGGESTIONS? LINDA

Hi Michelle, It sounds like you're right on target...the weight has to slow down eventually. You'll keep loosing, and pay attention to your body more than the scale. When my scale stopped moving, I noticed I was losing inches. Honestly, I don't care what I weight as long as the inches keep dropping off! A 22 is wonderful!! The 16/18's are right around the corner. it'll take a bit longer, but the wait is well worth it. Oh boy...resolutions...well, lets just say I am going to try and be a better person overall. More patient, forgiving and a better friend to those who are important to me, and less time to those who aren't. Long story there, but thats another post for another time. Peace, -Deb
