As do you sweetheart! Hugs to you!

THANK YOU!

Cuz it was on sale and I got it cheaper than the regular stuff. Sorry but I refuse to believe that the artificial sweetener is causing the problem.... Especially since my hair was falling out BEFORE i bought the creamer.... sigh. next

For the sole purpose of making people like you have epic mental breakdowns... LOL just kidding. Read all the posts, it won't seem like such an unreasonable question.

on the creamer issue... one seving per day is alot? Sorry, but not giving up my coffee. that one is non-negotiable. I've never been a big breakfast eater either. Just not hungry until later in the morning. I don't log water, but I do drink alot of it. LOTS. on the days I am closer to 1500... well some days I just want more…

I suggest you read the whole thread then. you missed some important stuff.

Maybe...The past few weeks haven't been the best I'll admit. But the problem has been ongoing for a few months now.

Um.. no. I don't hate everythign people are saying. Did you actually READ the entire thread or just skim? I think I've been fairly open to ideas and suggestions.

Yeah, so how in the flipping world could anyone get "daily calories to maintain weight " from "TDEE"???? sorry, I just think acronyms are stupid and often confusing. Especially this one. Honestly, that sounds like a pain the a**... or PITA for those who like acronyms... LOL But I'll look at it and try to have an open mind.…

Anyone who tells me how to lose weight has ZERO chance with me. Including my husband. :D

No. my Dr's have not suggested a break from my dietary changes. (I don't really like calling what i'm doing a "diet" per se because it gives the conotation that I'm cutting out foods, or using some fad diet... I'm not. I'm just learning how to have a healthier relationship with food and not to overindulge. It's a process,…

Lately it's been about 1 pound every 2 weeks or so.

Yes, I stick to the 1200 calorie a day pretty faithfully. No, I don't fudge the numbers. If I did Iwouldn't have lost the weight I have because I would have slipped back into my old crappy eating habit s and just fudged the numbers. And actually that bacon entry WAS correct as I only ate part of a peice that was left over…

Yeah the LCHF was ugly for me and even worse for my husband. It got to the point where he begged me to eat some carbs... Once I did, I went back to my normal sunny disposition.... LOL I know I should eat alot more veggies than I do even now. Before I started MFP I got 1 maybe 2 servings of veggies or fruit per day. Now I'm…

I'm going to see if I can find some of that to help plump up my hair until it starts to regrow again... Thanks!

WOW, folks I appreciate the comments, but if you RE-READ my original post, I was asking if there was something I could do to help slow the loss until it starts to regrow. I know what is causing it. Please don't attack if you don't want to take the time to read.

NOPE. MD does NOT =GOD to me or to any other rational human being. Yes, he ran a FULL panel, not just TSH. I have a copy of it at home, but have not commited it to memory as yet... :) He wanted to rule out other hormonal issues as well nutritional problems as well. Everything came back clean.

I have tried the LCHF diet before, and the side effects were, to put it mildly, unpleasant. It was NOT a good option for me. I would have ended up in prison if I had stayedon it because I was probly going to hurt someone... lol just kidding, but it was not a good diet for me, and was far too restrictive for me to maintain…

No, I really don't... I should but I don't cut my hair that often... like once every 4-6 months... I trim my bangs myself. To be honest I can't stand the idea of paying someone the kind of money the hairdressers around here charge. Maybe I need to change my thinnking on that though... I'll look into it.

cookmtn, sorry if I came across snarky... I am the kind of person who speaks my mind without worrying too much if it offends someone... I just really dislike it when people assume that I haven't considered that my Dr needs to be qualified or that I'm not under the care of a Dr during my weight loss journey. The other…

Sorry dearie, but until you have an MD after your name, I'm going to keep trusting my Dr... Actually, I have been seeing a team of Dr's over the past few years over some health issues (now almost completley resolved) and they all say I'm doing exactly what I should. My primary care physician DOES have plenty of education…

I think you need to loo at my logs a little closer. I'm usually alot closer to my goal than that. My Dr, whom I trust 1000000% says I am NOT malnourished, and that I do not need to adjust or bump my intake. He has seen all of my logs and has been monitoring my weight loss closely.

Kaikel, Thanks...It's nice to not be alone in this too. I'm almost to the point of considering a hair peice. You know the ones on a big elastic loop... Just really would like to have my own hair though.

I had guy tell me (we were on a blinddate) once a long time ago that I'd be really pretty if I lost some weight... I told him he'd be really handsome if he got rid of the dead cat he wore on his head and grew some hair. There was NOT a second date.

I think I'll try that. Heck it can't hurt. My drain looks like a gorilla got sucked down it. I have to "pull the gorilla" as hubby and I call it about once a week or it clogs up.

hey girl! :) Interesting.... I have DEFINITLY lost more than 15 pounds. Vitamin A... I'm often over my daily goal on that... Will adjust. Protien... Yeah, DEFINITLY NOT a vegetarian, and I typically meet or exceed my daily goal. But will watch that a bit closer. Iron... Haven't been paying as much attention to that as I…

Im not quite at maintenance yet.... But my weight loss has slowed significantly in the past few months... I'm only losing maybe a pound a week at the most.

There are some creams that can help rebuild the collagen levels in your skin. Go to the Dr. Oz website, they did a show a while back about it and there are some that will help with loose skin and cellulite... but it WON'T get rid of it entirely. It can help the appearance of it some. I would try the dry brush technique Dr…

I wouldnt try to visualize myself "skinny", I would however try to visualize myself healthy and fit. There is a HUGE difference and one that is easier to imagine. It all begins with changing your thought processes about food, exercise, and what you want out of life. This isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle change. You can do…

I have lost almost 75 pounds by eating the same exact foods that my family eats. I did start tweeking their foods a little with healthier options, more veggie options, lower fat, lower carb, etc, and I did it gradually so they really didn't notice that much. Plus I made sure to make enough of everything that they could…
