I find that i keep my hair long and tied back in buns because when my face is fat and my hair is down, it does nothing for my face..but make it look fatter..so when i lose weight and i can see my cheeckbones more defined, i like wearing my hair down because my face looks more framed...does that make sense?

Chooping it off was the GREATEST thing !! i will NEVER go back to long hair. i absolutely love the cut i have now (have had it for about a year) and intend to keep the style for a LONG TIME.. its my perfect haircut. i get SO MANY COMPLIMENTS on it! From everyone.... ive even had strangers stop me in the street and ask to take a picture of it so they could show their stylist.....


its basically a SEVER A-Line... with just about chin lengthin the front, going shorter and shorter to the back, where i actually have it shaved, starting at my nape and then getting a little longer till it bobs at the top... maybe i can download a picture....

ANyway, i also think cutting ones hair after weight loss, not only reflects thier new-found confidence, but also is a way to complete the "transformation"

Love your personal bests! I am especially amazed by your marathon PR! My marathon PR is 5:36...because I am a run/walker. Being heavier has limited me...although, once I am done losing weight, I hope to train for my 10th marathon and this time break 5 hrs!

I just got a new hair cut yesterday! I took off like 5 inches and made it a short, cropped by the chin look. It's one of those cuts that's kind of made for bedhead hair.

Two reasons I wanted it 1) it's hot, and 2) it feels like a fresh start!
