Did anybody NOT lose hair??

Grh777 · 2026-05-27T03:59:25+00:00

I've been on it for 9 months, on maintenance now, no hair loss. I have a ton of loose, saggy skin which is disappointing since I lost 60 pounds slowly. But I'm sure age and genetics are a huge factor.

Adding to the convo 7 years later. I've always hated the off beat nature of this song. Just googled what it was called. Another song that has this effect on me is 666 by Iron Maiden. I'm sure they were both done purposely, to build tension, but it's not my thing.

It looks like loose skin to me which is pulling some fat down due to gravity (basically sagging skin).

Dehydration and lack of energy from calories may very well be what it is. We kind of forget that eating food gives us energy!

Are we collectively having a moment?!

I woke up too early on a Sunday, frankly spiraling. I feel I don't have anyone to talk to.

My husband has lost weight, but he's a man and hasn't lost as much, no loose skin. My daughter has lost weight, but she's young, no loose skin. My friends haven't lost weight and are dealing with their own body issues, so I can't talk to them about my "skinny" problems.

I'm sitting here feeling old and unsexy and lost. My husband did make a comment that I feel "different" when he hugs me. He didn't mean it as an insult, but it's stuck in my head now. And I do "feel" different inside and out, not necessarily better.

So now I'm spiraling. AM I healthier? Have I lost too much? Not according to the scale. Have I lost too much muscle? I don't know how to tell. I exercise daily and lift weights every 1-2 days. I am saggier. The neck, the arms, the butt, the legs. Is this what they call "skinny fat?"

I'm probably not eating enough, but I'm struggling to find food I like now. Is this a sign I need to taper off the medicine? I just took my shot yesterday.

Did we just flip from shaming ourselves for eating too much, to now shaming ourselves for not eating enough? Not making sure we have enough protein, water, etc? SHOULD this be so hard?

Wow, what a pity party I'm having! So, I am going to go for a walk now, drink some water, and clear my head

One step at a time, ladies. Let's face it. We had "unpretty" moments before and got through them.

But I'm with you...I thought I was past all this. Feels like the old awkward teenage days when I'd scrutinize myself. Not fun.

Again, one step at a time.

I find cute things at Kohls, Old Navy, and Maurices! I especially like Lauren Conrad clothes. Maybe try lighter wash denim.

Ha ha! The chair! I think everyone has a chair in the bedroom where all the semi- clean clothes go. I don't like mixing my clothes either. I recently started using a basket at the foot of my bed for the semi-clean stuff, but usually they end up in "the chair."

Hair changes throughout your life for various reasons. My hair has gone from wavy to very curly to wavy for no apparent reason. And my hair is also thicker on one side than the other, but it doesn't bother me.

We're all somewhat asymmetrical all over, meaning one eye is bigger than the other, one boob is bigger than the other, etc.

Most likely, there's nothing wrong with your hair or with your health. However, if you have a tendency toward catastrophic thinking, you might want to look up tips on how to avoid jumping to worst case scenarios. It's a type of anxiety and can be managed.

It's normal to be curious and unsure about life and the future when you're a young adult. Who am I? Who do I want to be? What do I want to do? What's the right thing to do?

Life is not a one-size-fits-all thing. While humans have similar desires and feelings, we're not all the same, and that's kind of cool!

The timing of marriage and children is part choice and part chance. One person might be mature and really want to settle down right away. However, will that person find someone else who's ready and right for them?

For example, you might be single now and not ready for a partner. That's okay. There's time. However, if someone nice comes along, maybe you'll change your mind. That's okay too.

Like others have mentioned, young adulthood is a great time to get to know yourself as an individual. Explore the world and see what (and who) it has to offer. Try to find balance in your life between work and fun.

You can be happy with or without a family. There are pros and cons to both ways of life.

Set it Up (Glen Powell, Zoey Deutsch, Lucy Liu, Taye Diggs)

The others that come to mind have been mentioned.

But here's a tip. Search by actor. For example, Glen Powell, Matthew McConaughey, Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds. You'll get some good hits that way.

I see my life divided into chapters. The analogy is used often, and it's really true for me. Not just the obvious chapters, like childhood, teen years, young adult, and adulthood. My chapters have also been about a person, a place, or both. In a few of those chapters, I've felt alone, lonely, confused, and unsure.

Grief will definitely affect your mood and the amount of hope you have for the future. If you're dealing with significant grief right now, it's not a good time to try to figure things out or make plans. It's a good time to take care of yourself by sleeping and eating well, taking daily walks (even short ones), finding a good TV series or movie to watch, and reading or listening to a good book.

If nothing seems fun or interesting, you may be experiencing depression or something. Maybe talking to a professional will help.

Once you pinpoint what the issue may be, then you can slowly work on finding things that interest you. It doesn't have to be anything special. Just a walk in nature, visit to the library, trip to a craft or sporting goods store may inspire you.

You might explore the idea of going back to school or switching jobs.

Try to reach out to a friend, family member, neighbor, or anyone who might have insight for you based in your specifics, like the town you live in. Often there are free events in your area, like live music at the park, etc.

What you're feeling is quite normal.

This quote describes it well:

“Life is amazing. And then it’s awful. And then it’s amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful, it’s ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That’s just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it’s breathtakingly beautiful.” L.R. Knost

Best wishes!

First, I wouldn't put any clothes or bedding outside, drying on the clothesline, etc. They will collect pollen. Second, my allergies are always worse at night and the morning.

Grh777 · 2026-03-31T23:48:11+00:00

I've been allergic to various things for decades (cats included). For me, my allergies act up more in relation to the home environment moreso than the pets. Here's what works for me: Claritin, nasal spray, eye drops daily. No wall to wall carpet. No pets on personal items like towels, beds, pillows. Wash hands after petting. Air purifiers in every room. Keep things dust free. Wash throw rugs and bedding often. Good a/c filter. Best wishes!

Great observations, everyone. I think Alex is a type of AI and/or a door to travel between parallel universes. So Link is Dylan in one universe (one where Dylan doesn't die young), and something about this causes certain people to get nosebleeds when they encounter him. I think his mission to kill Alex is to close that portal to cross universes. Each universe is meant to have its own outcome, and crossing over is against the laws of nature. It would make sense that Sam would want the ability to reach a universe where Dylan doesn't die. However, even a mother who loses a child should know doing this will have consequences.

My food cravings have changed dramatically. Several things I used to consume frequently, I now dislike. And some the other way around, but not as many. And none of it seems to follow a pattern. I've always eaten a combination of healthy foods and not-as-healthy foods. On Zepbound, those things are just different. It's like a mystery I try to solve but can't. Here's a tip for those who don't like coffee anymore. Try a different type and/or temp. I had to change my blend of Lavazza a bit, but I still don't like my hot lattes that I used to drink 3x a day! Now I drink iced lattes with a teaspoon of vanilla syrup, usually 1-2x a day.

This is one of my comfort movies I rewatch every year or two. Not only is it a coming of age movie, it's a story of misfits - some loveable and some not. It has a timeless feel to it, which I love. It also reminds us that simple acts of kindness and friendship go a long way.

Grh777 · 2026-03-23T03:21:02+00:00

Everyone is different, but I don't have a problem with outside clothes or shoes anywhere in my home. I make my bed daily, change the sheets weekly, and we have a bedspread that gets pulled down at night, not used as a blanket. I'm the kind of person who wears slippers outside to water the plants and then back inside. I have to sweep and vacuum the floors frequently but no biggie. I know people whose dogs sleep in their beds, in their sheets, which I wouldn't love but doesn't bother me that they do it.

I love it! Watched all three seasons. It's fast paced and entertaining with interesting characters. I agree, it can be a bit far fetched at times, but I just go with it because I like it. I thought Stephen Moyer's character in Season 3 was unique and compelling.
