I'm glad you joined the forum i'm new here myself i started 11/29/01 so far i have lost 5 lbs and inches...i only measure and weigh on mondays so i dont get upset if i have a bad day or water weight gain
the first couple of days you might feel bad but by day three you will feel so wonderful
about the hair loss well one of my friends takes her normal multi-vitamin and at bed time she takes a pre-natal vitamin...and her hair is long and pretty and thick...so i might give it a try too...

well again nice to meet you
