[Scotti]

So in short ' I take my hat off to you' and your goals will be achieved and remain that way. With regard to your hair, well, you must be on the young side
I have very limited hair and what I do have is grey this situation makes me even happier to wear a wig whenever I can.
Don't give in to SO pressure to have it cut, I really envy you.

Thanks Heather! The weight loss can mainly be attributed to diet change. While not 100% vegan, I'm juicing and eating/drinking my veggies and fruit raw. Very little bread and processed foods, some meat here and there. All I know is that it's working. As for the hair and age, yeah, I guess if 42 is young!

Hey Scotti,

Congrats on... everything!

A slender mid-section is way more noticeable and could be construed as feminine but it's at least much better for your health than carrying a spare tire. The hair? well, that's obviously much more common among females.

I'm not worried about gaining the weight back because this is a lifestyle change not a goal oriented weight loss program.

Thanks Kari, and I agree, a slender midsection with a few curves and hair is definitely more feminine. I'm hoping my hair keeps filling in, as I have noed some of my MPB reversing! Currently my hair is the longest it's been in nearly 20 years! And like you, my diet has been a lifestyle change too, so once it's off as long as I maintain the weight shouldn't come back.

As for HFCS, that's been virtually banned in our household for 10+ years!!!
