nikki82 147 Posted February 20, 2013 Wow wow wow gorgeous. You look younger, lighter, and a head full of hair still! Do you use the Protein shakes as well? Yes. Yes. Yes to all accounts! lol I shaved years off my appearance, My skin tone lightened and evened out and my hair did grow, but I did experience some thinning around the edges. I will say that I started very early on taking the Vitamin Biotin and still do for Hair growth. And, yes.. I drink a Protein shake EVERYDAY. It's called Max fortress whey Protein Shake. They sell it at Walmart for $16.00 I put 2 scoops in 28oz of Water and that gives me 52 g of Protein. The rest I consume with food. Hope this info helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I did too, but not anymore. I can see it, and you will too! It just takes us a while to envision a different "us" but once you get a glimpse of it you'll be able to see the real you clearly. Just don't ever give up or become discouraged. It will happen. Best of luck to you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
