Thanks for posting about the hair loss. (There was lots in the forums I needed to read tonight). My hair is still shedding but it is also starting to grow back. It's funny looking, like a bristle brush growing up through my hair. In the front, I have little tufts of growth that look like when a little kid cuts his own hair too short in the front. Some parting in different places has helped. It is comforting to know that it is growing in again despite the shedding that still happens.

My doctor has also been keeping a closer watch in my thyroid since the weight loss and my medicines are being adjusted which accounts for some of the hair loss too. Keeping up on those blood tests is really important for your whole body, including your hair.

It will slow down. You are not likely to go completely bald and your body is replenishing as you go along. When your body begins to stabilize from your weight loss, it will grow back again. You're doing GREAT. Look how much weight you have lost. You have only a short way to go.

I clog up the tub too and now have liquid plummer on hand by the tub. Just to cheer you and encourage you. It will be okay.

I lost a tremendous amount of hair during my rapid weight loss stage. I thought I was going to be bald, I was truly scared. My weight is now stable and my hair is growing back in... I have little strands that stick up all over the place because they are too small to be styled!

It does get better.
