Left 175 lbs -  Right 155 lbs - Current 149 lbs

I loss about 30 locks and some are still pending, due to my ongoing issues, and for the most part letting myself get unhealthy due to complete laziness. You always hear that saying that in order to have healthy hair, you need to have a healthy body. That statement applies to me!

Taking care of your body is hard enough, but when you have to battle hair loss, it really starts to become tiresome and old. Doing the herbal/natural stuff to retain or lessen your hair loss is not the only and right way to go. You MUST change your lifestyle!

I did stop going to the GYM for a while, and I'm sure you guys noticed on some of the later post of last year, I was gaining weight. I especially notice it on my Disney trip last year, when I was trying to figure out which picture makes me look less big. Due to the fact that I'm tall, my weight gets distributed everywhere, but especially to my hip, face, and stomach area.

My consultant also notice that my hair was starting to thin again, which was frustrating and embarrassing as well. I know my hair loss triggers, and it always stress, and not eating right, so I made the decision this time around to stop and just remain on the healthy path for good!

So once again I started my weight loss journey again on January of 2013 of this year. I went back to the "Lose It" app, but this time around, I made friend by visiting the forum to keep me motivated.  I also decided to learn how to run. I download a cool app called C25k, and learn how to run from that. I invested in a heart monitor to make sure that the calories I burn are correct. What is at the GYM is a GUESS, you honestly don't burn that amount. For example, if you heaver, you tend to burn more calories, and if you lighter, you tend to burn less, doing the same type of workout.

This time around, I will not be letting myself go, because if I really want to have healthy long sisterlocks. I just have to eat better, and live a healthier lifestyle. I also started to set goals after I had reached my goal weight  (which is my college weight). My first goal right now is to do a 5K run (still pending), and the second is the be more tone. I also plan on doing the P90X (Insanity Workout) next month. Once I'm done with that challenge, I will release a before & after post. Right now, I'm doing Yoga (to strengthen my core), Weights, and trying to plan/train for my first 5k Marathon.
