 Hi All.  I'm 3 months out.  I've lost 60 pounds.  Woo Hoo.  Over the last two weeks I've noticed the weight loss started to slow down.  I am also able to eat more than before.  Maybe cup 1/2.  When did your weight loss start to slow down.   Also, I'm starting to loose a lot of hair.  Any suggestions?

 60 pounds is fantastic.
And your body has to slow every so often, there is no way you could keep losing like this until you're skinny. So give yourself a break here, this is how you will likely lose, lose some - hit a slow down. For pretty much everybody it's like that, stairsteps......

Also many start to lose some hair around the 3rd - 4th month, it's really, really normal. It will grow back, it just make take a few month.

So, try not to worry and go with the flow.

And stay off that scale, it can drive you crazy.

Good Luck

Thanks so much.  Yes, my hair is falling out too.  I stopped going to the salon.  And now I'm using Pantene anti breakage formula and Nioxon.  It's seems to help.  Also, I started to take Biotene, 3x a day.  I may add Silica too.  I heard this was good.

How much protein do you get in per day??  I'm struggling to keep it up.  Today I got about 50mgs.  Tonight I will have another shake and that will put me at 80.  I was told to try and get at least 80mgs per day.  Thoughts?
