Now starts the hair loss!
Yup, the hair loss process seems to have started for me. Nothing major, but I'm noticing a lot more coming out when I brush my hair and especially when I wa****
It would make sense because I'm hitting the 3 month (12 week mark). Thankfully, I have a very full head of hair, so I'm hoping even with the thinning, it won't show too much.
I still get in anywhere between 60-90g of protein a day, and am anal about my supplements. My multi-vitamins are taken twice a day, I take my iron and calcium citrate once a day, and I make sure to get as much water in as possible. Some days I'm way over my required water intake (those are my workout days), and other days I'm just at or below my required intake. It's still hit and miss for me.
I'm over 75lbs down from my heighest weight. I lost weight during our PC classes, but then gained it all back and then some after class finished. I have 70lbs more to go till I hit my goal of 165. Right now I'm losing on average around 20lbs a month (sometimes a litle more), so I am hoping to be around 200lbs by Christmas or shortly thereafter, and hopefully at goal before next summer.
Have to say, life is pretty damn good right now. I am on my own, and loving it. I realized that I don't need a guy in my life, no matter how cute I might think he is. Turns out that they all end up using your for something, it it's not money or sex, it's for their own ego trip. And I'm done with that.
That's pretty much life for me right now. How are the rest of my lovely PC ladies doing? Is there anyone left who from our group who is still waiting for surgery?
Love you gals.

hi Sian....I didn't see this until after I posted my results today. Doc Taller told me that the hair loss is a result of a low protein diet....I'm not sure about that...I think it also has something to do with anesthesia. I am loosing some hair when I comb but can't tell for sure if it is because my hair is long now and is breaking easily or the surgery. How long do you think this will go on for? Speaking of our group......I think that everyone has had surgery including Tasha who moved to Texas (I think?). When do you leave for home????We should have tea before you go......take care friend:)D
Yeah, I'm not too sure about the low protein diet part. Nearly everyone I've spoken too has had some form of hairloss. I'm sure the amount of protein that you consume may affect how much of a hairloss you experience, but overall, the hairloss is part of the rapid weight loss.
I certainly have plenty of hair on my head, so alittle thinning might not be too much of a big deal, but I'm going to keep my protein levels up to make sure I keep the thinning down to a minimum.
I'm heading off to Colorado for Thanksgiving, and then I have 3 weeks here in So-Cal before heading off to Australia. I'll have finals during that time, so maybe after finals week we can do some caffeine free tea

hi sian......I'm not as lucky as you with my mane, I've always had thin fine hair so I'm using volumizing products...what is amazing to me is how fast my hair is growing. I think I'm growing an inch a month where as I used to grow an inch a year!!!! Yes, in between your 2 trips we have to go over to the living room for tea.....or, we could have tea at mi casa, I am only 3 blocks from the shcool.....enjoy your trip to CO....see ya:)D
