The key is moderation.<br /><br />Once you get to a certain age, the pounds add up simply because your metabolism starts to slow down. So, what it took to lose weight is now what you do to maintain weight.<br /><br />Hair loss you noticed was probably due to stress, not weight loss--I lost a ton of hair to mega stress once, and the stress is what causes hair shed. Thankfully that hair loss grows back.<br /><br />You won't lose hair if you diet intelligently. First, find what your RDI is--regular dietary intake. There are many sites for that. This is what your body requires to function. From there, you can base your caloric intake and count calories. I've just uploaded a program to my smartphone to keep track of what I eat when I'm traveling.<br /><br />It's amazing that you burn calories at the computer, driving and sleeping!!! Who knew? So, the key is finding out a good caloric intake--I can't go to 1500--I find I get major headaches. I was told by 2 medical professionals that for an active lifestyle, I'd need 1700. That seems to be working for me, but I'm shedding a pound a MONTH. Soooo depressing, but I didn't gain the weight over night--I gained it over 10+ years.<br /><br />I actually thought you'd lose weight--that photo of you in the lovely blue top, you looked much trimmer to me. But, I know how you feel--it's how you FEEL that is the bigger issue.<br /><br />Don't give up!!! And don't be hard on yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
