I wear mine natural too and just have to resort to living with the frizz as giving up exercise is not an option. I get mine done every week as a result. When I want a change, I get my hair braided and that lasts me for a month and gets rid of the frizz problem.

I am thinking of relaxing it because of the sweating issue. I really dont like going to the hairdresser every week. Hopefully I wont regret it.

I don't rinse mine everyday and I don't really put products in my hair either to sturdy the twists (to avoid acne).... I will try making them smaller or do half cornrow half twists and see if that works too...

Hey! I'm still around. Not doing too good though. I've been traveling a lot and now I have my niece here visiting. My weight is about 203. The lowest I've ever been is 190 and I want to get back there. I'm trying not to let myself get too far out of control. I'm thinking about getting back on my beck diet solution plan.

Just checking in again. I decided I wanted to start with a detox. I'm kind of doing Phase 1 of the Fat Smash diet. Sticking to it for the most part, but I'm still using seasonings and adding in a little bit of dairy (just cottage cheese) to keep my protein up. It went well and I'm not hungry. I had oatmeal and egg whites for breakfast, a big bowl of fruit for a snack, salad for lunch, and black beans with peppers and brown rice for dinner. I teach tonight, so I had to eat dinner early and am taking fruit for a snack. Hope everyone else is healthy and well!

Hey, Krista!!! You're off to a great start! I think it's awesome that you're starting at 17. I wish I had your motivation when I was that age! Your height and starting weight are close to mine. Just keep at it, and you'll get to your goal!

Yet another black twentysomething:
Stuck in the 280's forever over here. ^^; Hoping not to be. Also a new to the natural hair game and just now phasing out of TWA land. (Y'all should know what that stands for, right!?)

Nebuchadnezzar > You're here doing something about it, so I know you won't be stuck! This forum used to be a lot more active, so hopefully some of the other ladies will make a comeback! I've gone through the natural process too. My avi is kinda old, but I've been natural for almost 3 years this go round. I have one post about it on my blog and will be including more posts on how I take care of my hair.

hey everyone! I just finished exercising but only for 15mins I will do the other 15mins later. but I was just wondering do you guys think exercising everyday really makes the difference? I exercise twice a week but I think that maybe if I do it everyday it would really help more with my weight loss and the way my body looks in general, even though my family says they can see changes in my body I really don't see any difference. Do you think exercising everyday would help?
