Of course!! I pray for Shawn often, but will be praying especially hard for him this week. What a tragedy and what a waste!! I am so sorry for Amber's family, especially her children. I just CANNOT imagine how hard that would be to lose a daughter or mother to drugs. Just makes me sick...and sad. So sad. Please tell Shawn that I'm praying for him specifically, that God give him strength and self-control. Tell him I'm praying for Holy Spirit to be his guide, teacher and comforter. I'll be praying for God to put a hedge of protection around him and put God-fearing Mercy and Spirit filled Christians all around him and in every area of Shawn's life. please also tell him that I am sorry for his loss, too. I'm sure those in Teen Challenge together, have a special bond.

YES!!!! We will get together soon. I had a good birthday that Monday. Slept in. Was rid of headache that morning. Then we went to Shelby's where she had a beautiful table decorated for my Bday, and then cooked a delicious meal. I very rarely get to be with her on my or her birthday, so it was a treat. ESPECIALLY because I got to play with Grayson and Scarlett. I really hate that they live over 6 hours away 😢, so I always cherish any and every time I get to be with them.

Love & Hugs.........................Susie

Thank you Susie.   Love you and I am glad you had a great birthday !!!

Sounds like you are doing great. Keep taking at Biotin. I started taking 10,000 mcg 1 time per day recently that is nature made gelcap from Walmart. The older I get, the worse the thinning hair in the front gets! Oy attention to the head hunger and try to combat itnis in the early stages. It only gets worse, not better the furer out you are. Keep up the awesome progress!

Thanks, Karla!! I am taking that amount of biotin and am going to try and stop worrying about the hair loss. Guess if it gets TOO bad, I can get a wig until it starts growing back 😊. And, YES, I'm working on the head hunger monster. Some days are just better (or worse) than others. I think logging all my food helps me stay accountable. Thanks again for your support and help. 

Have a GREAT week.

Susie

You are doing awesome. I was lucky and didn't have hair loss. I did take Botin but don't know if that is why or if I was just lucky.

I sometimes battle the mindless and boredom eating in the evenings. I will go back to tracking all my food so I see how many snacks I actually had plus something about tracking makes me think twice.

Sandra, 

Thanks, Lady!!  I'm glad to hear that you didn't have the hair loss issues. I'm sure it will slow down, and if it doesn't...oh well, guess I can always get a wig :-)

Logging my food and exercise on MFP has been a great way for me to be accountable. Just doesn't always stop my acting out and shoving something else in my mouth. I know what I've got to do. I've just got to do it.

As always, thanks for your encouragement and input.

Susie

Hi, Susie!! Glad to hear you are doing so well!! I lost hair from month 3-7 and then by month 9 I could see lots of regrowth. It came back thicker and wavier. Hang in there. This too shall pass.

Keep up the good work!!

Laura
