Attention ! Australian Sleevers

[k8ee 131]

I was sleeved may 7 and my hair has recently started to fall out too. It's not in clumps but lots of strands fall out when I wash, brush or touch my hair.

I am concerned because I have extremely fine hair where you can already see my scalp through the hair.

Geez, if I lose too much more ill need a wig!

Hi all I had heaps of hair fall out too but it grows back!! Just get into a good hairdresser is my advice particularly if it's bad. Luckily my cousin is my hairdresser so got loads of samples etc until I hit on the thing for me

Things are going pretty well at the moment. Losing about a kg per week right now and am just finishing week 4 of Couch to 5K. Am very seriously considering a treadmill though as it is going to be a long hot summer out here I think!! Plus I sometimes would like to run at night and could do that if I had a treddy.

It's funny though, the more weight I lose, the further I drop my goal weight. Has anyone else experienced this? It's like I perpetually have 10 kg to lose lol. My friend said to me the other day to be aware that losing weight has been such a focus for so long that I need to consider I am adjusting the goal cause I don't know any other way of thinking.

It got me really considering this point of view- now whilst I still think I have at least 10kg more that I would like to lose, I really am enjoying the weight loss process right now and getting fit. It will be a whole new challenge to maintain my weight and though I have had a lifetime of trying to lose I have never had to keep healthy at a particular weight. Funny how just when you think you've got the sleeve worked out how it throws another curve ball

But honestly what a great bloody problem to have!! God I love my sleeve!!

Have a great weekend all!! Cheers Liss

Welcome All!!

Yes, the hair loss is annoying. But as Lissa and Kelli have said it does grow back. And yes get to a hairdresser they can help you get a hairstyle around it as well.

Misty and Lissa, you guys are doing great with the 5kgs challenge.

Lissa, I know how hard it is to give up the "weight loss: journey and what do you do when you get there. I started to focus more on physical goals, running further, lifting more, toning as opposed to a number. Cause even when we get to where we want to be we always want more eh lol

BTW K8ee, love your new profile shot you look great.

http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/gallery/image/23207-collage/I thought I would share something that I put on my Facebook page today.

I have officially called it, I am now officially have the 1/2 the size I was 2 years ago.

It aint been easy but it has been worth it, even the plastics

Wow Aussiegirl, that is fantastic and you are my hero.

Lissa, if weight is still coming off easily I would say your body still wants to be a bit smaller. If your ticker is accurate you are a 27 BMI and while BMI is certainly not everything, you won't waste away with another 10 kg gone. Don't stress and enjoy the journey, and listen to your body. If your weight gets too low you will start to notice problems and that will be your body telling you to ease back.

I have a gym membership because I know I won't exercise outside in the heat. Treadmills are pretty expensive so I think right now the gym is a better investment for me.

Oh you're right Misty! I still have weight to lose for sure- I think I was more just reflecting on the closure of this phase of my weight loss journey than anything else. Lol for sure it won't be a bad thing to lose another 10kg!!!

I would join a gym but there isn't one here in Moree but think I will hire one in the first instance to make sure I have the right one before I buy!!

What an amazing achievement and a difficult one too at times no doubt. You are right to be proud of it all. Well done! Are you coming to the Hold Coast on 5 October to meet up with Lissa, myself and any others who are able to join us. We would love to meet you in person.

[Aussiegirl 580]

Thanks Kelli and lessismore.

I would have loved to Kelli, but that weekend is my nephews 5th birthday and also one of my close friends 30th Birthday, a weekend of parties.

I would love to finally meet you guys, hopefully we can work out some time soon.

Just went through my clothes and getting rid of about 3/4 of them because they don't fit! Here is a photo of me in my exxy bather top from Sunburn that I am embarrassed to say I was wearing 20 kg ago. It fits properly now!
