  • My hair was falling out terribly. I started taking fish oil capsules. In about a month I could see an improvement. Now I see even more improvement. I have no idea if it will help you, but it may be worth a try.

  • I definitely would not lower your exercise. You don't want sagging skin as you lose weight! I have lost about 80 lbs. but I did it very slowly. The first 52 lbs. took exactly one year. I am 63 and don't have the loose skin a lot of people get when they lose that much weight. Take it slow and exercise. You can up your…

  • I agree green tea is worth trying. I think it helped me. I also found that eating fewer carbs helps. Especially snacking at night, carbs should be limited.
