Does anyone else experience hair loss after reaching goal weight?
A friend of mine who is 4'11 in height recently lost 27 pounds in 3 months. She said she used to shed 50 strands of hair a day, but that she's now shedding 200 strands per day. She looks fantastic and is very happy with her body since she's now a size 0, but is worried whether this is normal. Anyone have any experience…

Should I wait until I've lost weight to tell him how I feel?
I've always been short and petite at a weight of 94 to 96 pounds and barely 5 feet tall. This year has been the hardest one I've ever had to deal with, filled with a lot of loss and failure, and because I didn't know how to cope, I turned to food for comfort (I know I was wrong to do that). I'm now currently 121 pounds.…

Should I restrict more after over indulging?
I attended a family gathering 2 days ago and for the first time in a long time, overate by a whooping 3500 calories, meaning I ate 5000 calories that day.

Are there any 5'2 or below women eating 1500 a day while losing?
I've been wondering if people have had success while eating this amount? I feel hungry eating 1200 and if it's possible to lose weight with exercise while eating 1500, I'd definitely like to up my calorie intake.

Daily or Weekly Calorie Intake?
Which should I focus on? Some people have told me that as long as I eat my weekly total of maintenance calories a week, I'll be able to stay at the same weight while others have told me to eat my maintenance calories every day to maintain the same weight. My maintenance calories are 1400 per day, which means 9800 calories…

What was the most delicious food you ate this year?

Do people treat you differently after you lost weight? Does it make you happy, or sad, or both?
I get attention from men who never even spared me a second in the past and I feel confused because I'm both flattered and offended at the same time because these are men who either worked or studied with me long before I lost the weight.

Did you lose weight for yourself or someone else?
A female friend of mine asked me this just this morning when I was in the coffee room. I told her I did it for myself because I just really wanted to be able to run like I used to, and wear all the clothes I'd stuffed into my attic. She told me she had lost 2 Stones to impress a guy. What about you guys? For yourself? For…
