I havent lost hair. I'm shedding like crazy, but I always do. Its been noticeable lately becuase I"m paranoid about it, lol, but actually its just becuase my hair is at about the longest length it will grow to and thereofre a lot of it is in the shedding phase. This happened to me last time I had hair this long. I've noticed absolutely no thinning, all the new growth is already there.

I've lost 46lb in 6 months, so a nice steady pace, not too fast, and my band is loose enough that I can eat a pretty varied diet, including bread and other carbohydrates. I dont do high Protein or anything extreme and I eat about 1500 -1800 calories a day but burn a lot with regular running. I do think at that calorie level, I'm as well nourished as I could be, plus I take a Multivitamin.

Its all worked for me, my hair's actually glorious at the moment, shiny and nice and my skin is good too.
