Happy Easter Everyone---Hope you are all enjoying your day. My family and I just got back from having dinner out and let me tell you the house is clean, and NO DISHES to clean! I must admit though--today I pigged out and did cheat a bit but tomorrow is another day and I plan on getting right back on the bandwagon. I did not cheat with candy but rather tasting a few of those Italian pastries and the strawberry shortcake my daughter had for dessert and oh, the home made biscuits that came with dinner. Now I am sitting here listening to some growling sounds. I am not upset because I always stay on track and for one special day to go off the wagon I don't think is too bad or worrisome! Now--for my question- I started losing my hair rather late at about 5 months out but nothing really to get upset about. My daughter tells me she loses more than me each day when she washes her hair in the shower, but it is annoying to me. What I would like to know is about how long does this whole hair loss process usually last? I know everyone is different but just to have a ball park idea. I hope it ends soon because the annoying part of it all is constantly cleaning the hair from my comb and countertop. Thanks! Going to relax now--one good thing is at least I didn't have to come home and get out of my clothes because I was uncomfortable. I am proud to say that I am not full but satisfied!

I started losing significant amounts of hair at 2-1/2 months out. By the 3rd month point, I started taking GNC Ultra Nourishair. Within two weeks, I went from losing a fluffy palmful of hair to losing a thimble-full of hair. After a month of religiously taking the Nourishair, I have no significant hair loss whatsoever. I am a very happy camper.
