question??

I have noticed my hair is thinning, I currently eat around 1650 cals a day and I am losing slowly so I think its unlikely to be that I am eating too little if I eat any higher I am going to stop losing weight, or at the very least it will be lost at an even slower rate than now. (not that I have an issue losing slower but I think 1/4 - 1/2 lb a week is slow enough not to cause other issues such as hair loss)

I've started taking supplements and I am currently using a lotion recommended by the hairdresser to help stop hair loss .. but if it's nutritional then I doubt that it will help.
So I am looking for ideas in foods that might be rich in "stuff?!?!" that's good for hair to help stop the loss. basically I am looking to attack the issue from all angles

I am hoping against all hopes I don't have to choose between thick hair and normal weight. I seriously can't afford to lose any more hair .. :-/

Other than bouts of sciatica I have no other medical issues that I know about .. so I am making the assumption that this is mainly a nutrition problem.

any help / ideas appreciated

Yeah it sometimes does happen that if the vitamins and protein is defector in ur body... u start losing hair.... so plz atleast pop in few almonds in ur mouth...that won't make u gain so much weight. And if u oil ur hair. I can give u home remedies if u really wanna experiment it.

TY for your reply its noce to see some ideas that I have done being suggested ... it makes me feel like I am on the right path ... I've just bought almonds and almond butter and added them into my diet ... I have a treatment for my hair that has worked in the past, after washing you massage this lotion onto the hair (i lost a lot of hair during my pregnancies, breast feeding and also when I lost my oldest child, I am using that again .. (for the last two weeks) so Ill see how I go into the new year ... Head massages from hubby . very relaxing

Like losing weight isn't difficult enough without hair loss joining in to make it more of a chore ha !

Round 21 - The Plan:
I am away for work for a few days this round so will be practicing intermittent fasting and will have to remember to take my water bottle with me. Got into a good groove last round so looking to keep that going. Would like to get some more exercise this time around though as I only made it out twice last round.

Day/Weight/Comment

10/30 - 65.6kg - Had a lovely day of not counting yesterday as a bit of mental reprieve. Enjoyed a glass of wine and spaghetti for dinner with my partner. The blip on the scale was expected. Back to high protein, low carb, intermittent fasting for the rest of the round. C'mon goal weight!
10/31- 65.0kg - Good day yesterday, managed to stay away from all the sweets that are in the house at the moment. Almost down past my finishing weight for last round. Didn't get any exercise yesterday but will be hitting the gym today!
11/1 - 64.4kg - YAY!! So happy to see my lowest weight in over 12 months. Bye bye TOM. The plan is working! Prepped my dinner to eat in my hotel tonight (so so boring but necessary) and will be seeking out healthy options while I'm in London. Looking forward to potentially being at my mini-goal by the time I get back to my scale!
11/2 - Away from scale - had a super hungry day yesterday but managed to stick to the plan. Definitely under my water goal. London tap water BLERGH. Eating light today because I'm out with a work colleague for dinner tonight. Going to stick to max two glasses of wine and will order vegetable and protein off the menu (sauce on the side of course).

10/30 starting weight 162.0 First day of tracking again in quite a while. I know it works....just need to get back to it and start being more active.
10/31 162 Tracked everything yesterday and today….getting back to being accountable again. I was hungry several times today, but resisted for the most part because I knew what I had left for calories and also tried to make good choices when I felt I couldn’t hold out.
11/1 161 Old fashioned scale…..so need to see the needle actually move to know that I have lost. Plan to keep on tracking as I need to and not mindlessly eating when I get home from work.

Round 21 - CGW - 169 (2.6 pounds)

10/30 - 171.6 - Happy with this weight. No gain overnight.

10/31 - 171.4 - A loss is a loss is a WIN! Staying focused and working hard. Off to the gym to run and lift.

11/1 - 171.6 - Yuck!!! Hanging in there.

11/2 - 172.4 - Ouch! And that's what happens folks when you don't work the plan as you should. I own it and I'm really mad at myself for giving up on me. Today is a new day and new mindset. I expect good results tomorrow.


Good luck everyone. Remember, only YOU can make this happen!

10/30: 158.0 Very happy to see this number again! Not sure what today will bring. Maine got a crazy storm. No power, schools closed, work closed, roads closed, power lines down everywhere! It could be days without power. We have a generator though so hopefully sticking with plan as much as possible!

10/31: 158.0 Still no power and estimates are it might be Saturday before we get it! Our road has at least 6 trees hanging/down on power lines. I was bad last night and consumed too much alcohol. Kicking myself for the hangover today. A good reminder why I don't do that anymore! Back to business tomorrow!

11/1: 157.2 We got power back this evening! No candy temptations yet. Our town postponed trick or treating to Friday due to downed lines everywhere.

11/2: 158.2 Expected fluctuation. Had dinner at my in laws last night before getting our power back. Salty and carbs with a small dessert. Didn't enter it into MFP. So happy to get back to semi normal life today. Still no school for kids but I can use the treadmill today. W5D2 of C25K today!

10/30 - 218.2 - goal already? I have been pretty sick this weekend and not eating much, so.i expect that this will bounce when I'm feeling better. But we'll see.
10/31- 218.0 - still on the downward trend; feeling better today and ate a bit more. we'll see if it holds.
11/1 - 218.4 - a little but of a bounce. Not too bad for eating Chinese food for dinner and not accurately tracking it.
11/2 - 217.0 - All kinds of new lows so far this round. I guess being sick really helps! lol

Back again! I started midway through Round 2 at 153.9 on 4/29. For this round I'd like to get below and stay below 140. Started at 162 something back in early March so I'm down over 20 pounds. I am aiming to reach goal of 132 before New Years.

If anyone wants an example of the impact of sodium and water weight, here it is! In 12 days of traveling and eating out, I put on over 10 pounds. In the 11 days I’ve been home, I dropped it back off! Back to the inexorable trudge toward being simply overweight rather than obese! And finally on to a normal BMI!

10/30 254.6 -- Starting out on a normal note for a normal 10 days! The 12 pounds “retrieved” travelling during challenge 19 successfully discarded once again in challenge 20! CICO with perhaps a soupcon of exercise ...
10/31 254.8 -- Basically the same as yesterday. Note to self: great gobs of peanut butter are not to be eaten with a spoon like pudding. If you aren’t gonna measure it, don’t eat it!
11/1 253.6 -- Me like.

11/2 251.8 -- A new low! First one since round 18! Now I am truly past the retrieved trip poundage. And this is with clothes on whereas previously was in my birthday suit! Huzzahs for CICO!

10/30: 176.0 which considering how I ate yesterday is quite surprising in a good way. Plan for today: drink all the water and stick to the plan!

10/31: 175.2 Plan: just say NO to the Halloween candy! It's the same candy that's around all year long, just in a different wrapper. ( also: say no to the booze!)

11/1: 175.6 I stuck to the plan. No booze. I did eat 2 mini peppermint patties and they were worth it! Walked an extra mile too taking the kiddos out. I'm supposed to do my measurements today, but I'm feeling some hormonal bloat so gonna wait a few days for those. Plan for today: drink more water. Write it, then bite it.

11/2: 175.0 I'm really sick of seeing this. Been here since October 3- although my average weight IS going slightly down according to my trend ( i use Libra) it sure as heck doesn't feel like it and will soon be a horizontal line if this number doesn't budge!
Plan for today: drink 4 24 oz water bottles. Realized I need to be a bit more specific with this one. Also, finish my meal planning for the next week.

10/30 - 154.4 (down .2 lbs from yesterday)
10/31 - 155.0 I don't know why I am going up. Maybe not enough water intake?
11/1 - 155.6 ARGH... too much Halloween candy!
11/2 - 155.0 Not doing so well this round. No energy to excercise, so that is most likely the problem. Sigh!
