Hi, Kelsey, it's probably the weight loss that has caused your hair loss. I have been hypothyroid and on medication for it since 1986, but I have never had major hair loss until 2-3 months on this diet. It can happen with any diet or weight loss surgery even--anything that causes you to lose about 20 pounds in one month's time. Carla suggested taking Michael's vitamins for hair, skin, and nails. My hair loss has slowed down, thankfully, but it's still more than it used to be. Carla said it will take 6 months to a year for it to normalize.

I read somewhere on this board that somebody cooked their egg in a cup in the microwave to make it fit the English muffin perfectly (I am of similar OCD tendencies). HOWEVER, when I tried this, piercing the yolk carefully with a knife first, the egg STILL exploded. I'd put a paper towel on top of the cup and it was blown clear off. Put the egg on for 2 minutes on high and it exploded after 30 seconds. Mess mess mess. What did I do wrong?

I'm one pound away from having lost 10% of my weight so far!! I don't think I ever actually hit that goal any of the many times I did weight watchers (when my weight wasn't even this high yet!).

I lurk a lot, but read daily, so thank you everyone for your tips, tricks, and help all of the time in these forum posts.

Wow, since Saturday morning I've been really tired. Yesterday and today I haven't felt quite right. Weigh-in was no loss/no gain. Yesterday I indulged in some "stinkin' thinkin'" (sorry for the Dr. Swill lingo) and had 2 extra restricted items. After all, I was already at 0 lbs lost. :?:

I've spent more time in the bathroom the last two days than I usually do in a week. Anyone who said "She's full of it" on Friday, would have been right. :D Looking back at my food record, I see that I've gone light on the meat/poultry/fish protein, i.e. had a packet in the evening because I didn't want to prepare and eat the real food. Despite my vegetable evangelism I've been less than rigorous about eating the full 4 cups myself.

Today's been on program. I tried the pancake/crepe; I was hungry only 2.5-3 hours later. Maybe on a day after I've been on program for the previous days, I'll try it again. I just choked down some turkey breast that my dear, sweet partner roasted for us (LOVE :love: him) and am off to forage for some veggies. The foraging will be in the kitchen not in the wilds. ;)

Picking myself up, dusting myself off, moving on to do better now and tomorrow.

So am I to expect this hair loss issue too??? I'm not too crazy about that idea!! Where and how do I just post to you without "quoting"? here is my ticker, how do I get it to go in my posts each time or do I have to keep posting it myself?
