Betsy congrats on the weight loss, as you said, you are happy with one pound...that is great, I also feel any amount lost is gone for good....enjoy your green beans!

Cher, it is really hard when you start losing your hair...I also had really thick auburn hair growing up, and then a few years ago, it started falling out....getting thinner and thinner, it seemed like the part was about 2 inches wide....I figured out that it was stress related....after having so many miscarriages, and trying to beat my head against the wall at work...something had to give....so I gave up the job, went to work for a temp agency.....got put on bedrest with my latest pregnancy...lost that job.....yikes....so much for giving up the stress....but anyway....after a while, the hair started to grow back....it is much finer now, but at least it is coming back!
I'm not sure if stress is a problem for you, but it was very obvious, with me!

Take care all! keep smiling!
