Here is a weird thing i noticed this week. you Ladies out there may not be able to identify with this' date=' but here we go anyway :-)

in the past 30 years i have shaved my face every third day and never had any problems. i chalked it up to my irish heritage and fair skin etc.

i was apparently wrong! the hair must have not been long enough to get through all of the fat layers...lol. i now have to shave every day and decided to grow a full beard ( trimmed neatly) for the winter.

im kinda of psyched about this shaving thing...just sayin

Have a great day.

Fortunately I don't relate, but what a cool observation! Congrats on the new beard!

Are you taking Biotin? I feel like the hair on my legs is growing quicker. I attributed it to the biotin.

Are we allowed to drink out of straws?... I know we couldn't at first, but is like to use one to suck down Protein Drinks. It'll go faster!!

I use on occasionally but am very care to not swallow the air. More of a pain than a help imho.

Exactly. I try to not swallow the extra air...which slows down my drinking...which really irritates me. Lol!

I have been using a straw from nearly the very beginning. Have never had a problem.

Anyone else feel their weight lose has slowed down. I've lost about 4 lbs in the past 3 weeks but that's not a lot for me. Usually it's 4lbs a week.

I have been stalling and going slow since I began. I will lose about 4 or 5 pounds per week and then stop for two or three weeks before starting to lose again. I think your body just has to play catch up. I also think its interesting that on the weeks that I am not losing people will say how I look like I am losing so much. Maybe it's the inches rearranging or something. I have been at 55 pounds lost for about 3 weeks now.

You are not a freak! We all have ways of making this journey work for us! I have been drinking one cup of coffee for a few weeks now. I pour my chocolate Protein Shake in it each morning. This way I get my Protein started early.

yes, although I have 40 more to lose, I stall for weeks at a time and then I'll lose 2lbs, but in the mist of it, i do notice I lose inched.
