Monday 11/24/08 P4R1 Day 42 down 0.6 from Friday up 8.4 from LIW. Today 143.8

I have been so up and down these last few days without any cause. Sat I was 146.2 when I woke up and then down to 145.6 after going to the BR twice which was a gain of 1.2#s and Sunday I was down 1.0 and today I'm down .8#s. I was retaining fluid again so I took my natural diuretic and that seemed to help. I mostly ate protein with salads and asparagus for the last two days and I think that also helped. I really need to get back down to at least 140. I don't know what is wrong with me that I can… Continue

Friday 11/21/08 Phase 4 Day 39 Up 1.0#s from yesterday Up 8.8 #'s from LIW.. Today 144.2

This wt. is a little to high for me but I did have some ice cream with choc. chips last night. All was homemade but maybe just a little to much. Oh well, I'll eat mostly protein today and I'm not going to worry about it. Here is what I ate yesterday: Break: 2 Fried eggs 1 ck. sausage coffee banana with peanut butter ( was wonderful - I haven't had a banana since the beginning of June) Lunch: Salad greens 1/2 ch. breast 1/2 avacodo, tom, cucumber and onion flakes Snack: 1 c. grapes 2 pcs. of c… Continue

Thrus. 11/20/08 P4R1 Day 38 Up 0.2#s from yesterday Up 7.8#s from LIW. Today 143.2#s

For some reason I'm not even phased about this gain even though I also gained yesterday. I think I stabilized up at 143 from 139 before my period. I'm bummed that I can't seem to lose that period wt. but as long as I don't gain anymore I can live with this wt for now. I'm really bummed that I'm probably not going to be able to inject with everyone else in January as I'm still losing my hair like crazy. I ate a bunch of organic cookies and candy yesterday they were both sugar free and the cookies… Continue

Wed. 11/19/08 P4R1 Day 37 up 0.4#s from yesterday up 7.6#s from LIW Today 143.0#s

Guess this is where my grains are showing up. I didn't eat any of them yesterday so I'm guessing that is why I'm up .4 today (2 days after eating). Who knows, it's not that much of a gain and it could just be my wt. fluctuating (sp). I am going to have my cereal this morning if my milk ever thaws out. Here is yesterday's menu. Break: 3 eggs omelet cheese & broccoli snack: handful of goji berries Lunch: hamburger cottage yogurt Snack: handful of rasins Dinner: Chicken Broccoli asparagus… Continue

Tuesday 11/18/08 P4R1 Day 36 down 0.4#s from yesterday Up 7.2 from LIW Today 142.6#s

I wish I could be like Lynne and drop over a pound a day but at this point I'll take anything I can get. Now get a load of this -- I had 2 pieces of bread for my sandwich at lunch and a 1/2 of a piece for breakfast with my eggs yesterday and I lost. This is crazy. The only thing is that maybe I'll be up tomorrow meaning my gains don't show for 2 days instead of the very next day. Yesterday's menu: Break: 1 hamburger 2 fried eggs 1/2 pc. of toast w/ jelly snack: some homemade dehydrated apples… Continue

The hiar loss is something I've heard about before and from some of the other things that I have heard about HCG, I think it is a great tool to lose a large amount of weight but I think that you are smart to stay away from it for maintenance...that's when all of the problems with not maintaing seem to start is when you take it to keep those last 10-20 pounds off once you've gotten them off. It can be addictive though-losing and staying low.
I am so glad that you are in the 140s and looking as beautiful as ever! Enjoy the new you and take care of you! You have worked so hard to be where you are.
Thank you so much for keeping in touch. I really do appreciate it.
xoxo

We are thinking of going to NY City tomorrow am. We both have the day off and that hasn't happened, and won't happen again, ina long time on a Saturday so that would be fun!
How are things with you Joanne. I must confess that I'm not really reading anyone's blogs anymore so I'm not up on how everyone's doing. Things OK with you? How are your sweet furry babies?

Hope you find what you are looking for today!

At 7:44am on November 21, 2008, Terrie said…: Yes, Mineral Rich is made by Maximum Living.
Dudley; what a cute name. Yea, it is really hard to get over a pets death, especially when they were a better friend to you than some of the human ones, LOL. But it's true; they love you no matter what. Sorry about the loss of your pet, too. Things just aren't ever the same after they are gone.
Oh, wow; you had horses? I just love them!!

At 9:07pm on November 20, 2008, Terrie said…: Oh, forgot to answer your question; lots of health food stores carry it, but lots of them don't, (the Mineral Rich) that is. It did look like there were other herbal supplements on the internet; you might want to check them out, too.
But the mineral rich is good for everything!! We need minerals for everything in our body! I live by this stuff.

At 8:57pm on November 20, 2008, Terrie said…: Love your dog; so cute; and they are such good friends to us; I have been so sad lately, my little friend, Tojo, Boston Terrier, was hit and killed two days ago, and I feel it is all my fault since I left him outside for a long time and I guess he got tired of waiting for me to let him in and decided to go visiting across the road. The thing is, we have 120 acres for him to run on. I feel lost without him and so very sad about it since I feel if I hadn't left him outside so long I would still have my baby.
Anyway, good luck with the hair loss.

At 8:51pm on November 20, 2008, Terrie said…: Check out their website; go to Making Healthy Choices then navigate around it, take a look at their Intro Pack, which includes a book, a fantastic book, I have it, really big and thick, covers all health related questions and explanations, a bottle of mineral rich, and a bottle of vita sprouts. Wow, makes you got to the bathroom, LOL. This company is a christian company, sells organic supplements, has a three day, three hour long each day live show, which accepts live call ins from viewers all over the world and the doctor answers them right on the air!! The show is great, and I learn so much from watching it. But I think the Intro pack is a good deal; I've got the book, and I've used the vita sprouts, great stuff, all your nutrients from the vegetables and fruits in a capsule, and the Mineral Rich is out of this world. I don't know how much longer you will be losing hair, but you want to stop it as soon as possible. But don't worry, it will come back. Below I have sent you some info from the Making Healthy Choices website. Good luck! Go to the website and check it out. I;ll try to let you know the next time the show airs; it is so fun to watch it and listen to all the health questions that come through, then hear the doctors answer to it. It is hosted by a former Miss America, too!!

Yes, I do know of some others that have experienced hair loss. I tend to believe it is do to nutritional deficiencies, and/or fast weight loss. Whatever the reason, it's still the same principles that would stop the hair loss. I was listening to a doctor on a live call in program, called "Making Healthy Choices" and a caller had asked what to do about hair loss. He told her that a person experiencing hair loss was mineral deficient, and that hair was made of amino acids, so a person would also need to supplement with amino acids and lots of B vitamins. I take a liquid supplement, called "Mineral Rich" and it is already in a state to be absorbed by the body; it does not have to be digested, it is organic, and is properly balanced between magnesium and calcium. I highly recommend it. When I compared it to the Magic Juices assortment, it had a lot more content in it than the juices did when they were broken down. It is great stuff, and due to the high B vitamin content, you can feel energized within an hour or two after taking an ounce of it. At least I do. Anyway, I've also sent you a webpage that talks about hair loss. Read it; see what you think. Whatever you lose in hair loss, will grow back; but you just want to get it stopped from falling out. The webpage is below. Hope this might help you; good luck.

Hair Care

Hair Loss, Baldness

Nutrition/Vitamins
Hair loss occurs when the diet is inadequate in the B vitamins - especially B6, biotin, inositol and folic acid; and the minerals magnesium, sulfur and zinc. The B vitamins, especially B5 (pantothenic acid and B3 (niacin), are especially important for hair growth.

Certain essential amino acids are found to control the thinning and thickening of hair in laboratory animals. For example, when rats were fed a diet deficient in magnesium, they lost their hair in bunches. The situation was even more serious with some other B-vitamins. When rats were fed a diet low in biotin or inositol, they became hairless! This nutrient-deficient condition was found to be reversible. When the rats were fed a diet that was rich in B vitamins, it resulted in the complete restoration of hair.

Heavy intake of vitamin supplements, in some cases, have resulted in stimulating hair growth. Men deficient in vitamin B6 often lose their hair. When they are deficient in folic acid, some men became completely bald! As in case of animals, when normal intake of theses vitamins were restored, the hair also returned in most instances.

Taking large doses of vitamin A (100,000 IU or more daily) for a long period of time, on the other hand, can trigger hair loss, but stopping the vitamin A will reverse the problem. As in case of deficiencies, often the hair grows back when the cause is corrected.

Essential fatty acids (flaxseed oil, primrose oil, and salmon oil are good sources) improves hair texture. Prevents dry, brittle hair.

Raw thymus glandular stimulates immune function and improves functioning capacity of glands.

Dosage: 500 mg daily.

Caution: Do not give this supplement to a child.

B-Vitamins

B vitamins are important for the health and growth of the hair. Foods rich in B vitamins include beans, peas, carrots, cauliflower, soy beans, nutritional yeast, bran, nuts and eggs. Take a vitamin B-complex and supplement it with the following additional B-vitamins for best results.

Vitamin B3 (niacin) - 50 mg 3 times daily.

Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) -100 mg 3 times daily.

Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) -50 mg 3 times daily.

Biotin

Biotin is very important for hair health. It is needed for healthy hair and skin, and may even prevent hair loss in some men. Eat plenty of foods high in biotin and/ or take it in supplemental form. Good food sources of biotin include brewer's yeast, brown rice, bulgur, green peas, lentils, oats, soybeans, sunflower seeds, and walnuts. You can also use hair care products containing biotin.

Dosage: 50 mg 3 times daily.

Inositol

Inositol is vital for hair growth.

Dosage: 100 mg twice daily.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C aids in improving scalp circulation. It is important to maintain capillaries that carry blood to the follicles.

Dosage: 3,000-10,000 mg daily.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E increases oxygen uptake, which improves circulation to the scalp. It improves health and growth of hair. Since hair health is tied to the immune health, vitamin E is believed to stimulate hair growth by enhancing the immune function.
Dosage: Start with 400 IU daily and slowly increase to 800-1,000 IU daily.

Zinc

Zinc stimulates hair growth by enhancing immune function.

Dosage: 50-100 mg daily. Do not exceed this amount.

Other Nutrients That May Help Hair Health

Coenzyme Q10 - Improves scalp circulation. Increases tissue oxygenation. It is also very important for heart health. Take 60 mg daily.

L-Cysteine and L-methionine

Two amino acids belived to improve quality, texture, and growth of hair. They help prevent hair from falling out.

Dosage: 500 mg each twice daily, and on an empty stomach.
