I started in R: 14@226; current weight 217.1 for a total of 8.9 lbs. lost! These are my daily guidelines for the next 10 days. If it works out, I may keep them or tweek them until they do work!
1.no sodas
2.no bread
3.no unplanned eating out
4.drink at least 12 glasses water daily
5.eat protein every meal
6.reduce sodium intake
7.get more sleep
I've lost an average of 1.5 lbs. per round over the last 6 rounds! I'm going to see if these guidelines will make a difference in that average!

@Slimpossible007 I have 2 friends who were taking ibuprofen and noticed considerable thinning of their hair. I guess it is a recognized side effect although I have not confirmed that.4

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
Hi,
Have you ever heard of seasonal hair loss? There is scientific studies that show that women lose more hair in October-November and if you add that with a bit more hair that you could lose during dieting it may seem like you are losing a lot of hair. I really don't think that your diet is causing your hair to fall out but it could be just seasonal hair loss making you think you are losing more. A normal person sheds 60-100 strands a day.
On a good note, it grows back.. even diet related hair loss grows back when your diet normalizes again. If you feel you want to do something then increase protein and essential fatty acids such as 1 teaspoon of olive, safflower, flaxseed, soybean, oil per day.
Be good to yourself..
TY for your reply - No I have never heard of seasonal hair loss - its been thinning out longer that that thou and I can't see any new growth so I think its more to do with no new growth than falling out. Happy to hear that its likely to grow back thou ... I will add the oil each day .. do you know a ball park number of fats I should be aiming for .. I am utterly clueless
I have already upped the protein having extra milk and a spoon of peanut butter on days where I am lower ... although I've no idea what number I should be aiming for I try and make sure I have 50g or more each day ... I sometimes hit 70 - 80g .. but occasionally only get 40 .. and on those days I bump it up with the peanutbutter etc...candchughes wrote: »Slimpossible007 wrote: »question??

Have you had your thyroid checked? Difficulty losing weight and thinning hair can be symptoms of thyroid disorder. If you've not had it checked it might be worth getting checked out.
TY for your reply - I had my thyroid checked many years ago, and there was nothing wrong, not to say its not an issue now thou .. I have an appointment with my doc tomorrow for my sciatica so I will ask him when I am there for advice on this I'm not really having difficulty losing weight, I am looking to lose slowly, I done it wrong in the past and lost too quickly so this time I am aiming slow and steady.

I'm not a nutritionist but that doesn't seem like a whole lot of protein and protein are your building blocks. I get 120g of protein a day on a low day. Protein and carbs have 4 calories per gram and fat has 9. I have to have carbs because they help keep my migraines at bay so I shoot for 35%/35%/30 Protein, carb, fat. 1500 calories a day gives me 130g/130g/50g respectively. If anything gives it's usually the carbs for protein.
Hopefully someone better at macros will read this and offer more expertise.

10/30 - 218.4 - I have never seen the same weight show up on the scale for this long...going on a four day stretch! Sort of sucks.
Try picking up something heavy - a kid, a dog, or cat, a box of books, anything that weighs about five pounds or more. Step on the scale. I make my husband step on the scale since his weigh is different. When you step back without your heavy object you will probably have a new number. My scale tends to give me the same number unless it has changed at least a half pound. Also check your batteries.6 -
I skipped the last one so ready to get back into it. I would love to lose 2kg in this time so i can officially say ive lost 10kg.

Interesting (in a good way!). I ate about 200 over my goal yesterday, but most of it in a big lunch out, which no doubt meant more sodium. I had no dinner, but a Kind bar and, late in the evening, a cinnamon raisin English muffin with peanutbutter. I more and more find that eating a big lunch (or breakfast, actually) and then nibbling a few hundred calories later works better for me than "normal" meals. Can't do that every day (hard to get the hubster to go for big lunches at home), but it would be interesting to try a full couple of weeks eating that way to see what happens. Anyway, always nice to start a new round with an encouraging drop! Good luck to all of you!

I did really well for the first 7 days last round. But then my husband and I went on a 3 night vacation to Orlando and did not eat well... So I gained back 5lbs. It's crazy how quick that happens. I wish it was as easy to lose as it is to gain... But I have no excuse this round! I'm going to give it all I've got!

Are you vegetarian?
no I'm not vegetarian, I have meat almost every meal, I'd love to know what foods you use to boost your protein (or do you use powder?) ...
I have never really paid much attention to the macros, but this has me needing to know more ..

The good news is that unless you ate absolutely huge amount you did not gain fat. You are probably looking at a lot of fluid retention. Drink lots of water the next few days and watch the scale go down.6 -

I've decided that I am going to eat at maintenance for 2/7 days a week, which is why I am going to start using my average weight. Want to offset hormonal changes that occur when losing weight for extended periods of time that can make it harder to lose and maintain weight and hoping to elevate potential emotional stress of constantly being in a deficit. Last weekend was my first time intentionally eating at maintenance and not only did my weight basically stay the same, which it should, but I didn't realize how hard it is and how hard it probably will be when I do reach maintenance mode. Let' see how this works.
