Why Be Normal?
I am so concerned that I will have a gain, that I am cutting 8 inches off my hair and having it thinned this weekend. lol
Actually, it is time to cut it and send it the charity that makes wigs for children with hair loss.
My DD asked me to grow my a hair out a couple of years ago and so I have. Then last year I had a friend undergo breast caner treatment and she lost hair. I told her that I would grow mine unti it was long enough to donate and do that in her Honour. I was going to do it in October(Breast Cancer awareness month), but I did not get things sorted.
Long story short -- my hair weighs a lot, so I am hoping to show a loss with this "cheat" alone.
PMSL -- I had friend who emailed me her New Years' Resolutions -- they were to drink more, smoke more and gain some weight! She said that she was tired of making resolutions that she couldn't keep!
Haha I do these 'tricks', another good one is moving the scales about and keep trying
I always go wee first and (if at home) strip down to my knickers!
Good luck with the target 2 pounds!

Thanks mel, that's a fab idea with you hair mine is still growing back after my last pregnancy she's 2 in may and after she was born I lost loads of hair it was so thin you could see my scalp through what was left. I still have what looks like a 1inch fringe that sticks up every morning.
Well after my 100% SS yesterday I gained 1.2lb pmsl I know it's water I'm like a sponge lol.

Me too! Was just starting to look reasonable again and its all falling out again aaaaargh! Oh well at least I'll be bald and skinny
Minnie mel, which charity is that? That is a fab idea with the wigs, I have long thick hair and have been growing it for my wedding, but after i might have a good 6 inches cut off, as it is annoying me, I keep lying on it at night and getting my head trapped lol.
Mama, I just worked out that I have 8 weeks top my final dress fitting, and take off a week for Xmas cheating, that's 7 weeks to shift this final stone. So, starting Sunday morning I am on this SS with a vengeance. Are you up for it?

Why Be Normal?
I had my haircut today -- I'll post before and after pictures in a minute. It was 10 inches for the ponytail and then some more for the cut and style. It is still shoulder length in the front.
Little Princess Trust - helping children suffering hair loss due to cancer treatment
We accept clean hair in good condition from men, women and children of all ethnicities. We accept hair that has been previously coloured or highlighted. We even accept hair that contains the odd grey! Curly hair and hair of any colour is acceptable too. We also would be delighted to receive previously cut hair as long as it has been cut within the last ten years and that it complies with the requirements below.
Your hair donation must measure however at least 7”/17cm in length.
Our wig-makers tell us that the main reason why a donation might be rendered unusable is that it is too short.
Whether you plan to have your hair cut or to have your head shaved, as some supporters do, the principles are the same:

Whether you plan to have your hair cut or to have your head shaved, as some supporters do, the principles are the same:
- Prior to the cut/shave, please wash your hair and not add any styling product.
- Have your hair tied into a pony-tail, secured at both the root end and the tip end.
- Ask your hairdresser to cut you hair above the band at the root end, thereby releasing a pony-tail, tied at both ends.
- You are now in a position to have your hair cut further and styled or indeed shaved, if that is your intention.
- Wrap your pony-tail tightly in tissue paper or cling-film immediately after it has been cut. Your hair will become tangled very, very quickly otherwise and again, this will render it unusable.
- Place it in a padded envelope and post it using a regular postal service to:

Hats off to you Mel that is so nice made me well up, will be growing my hair now.
Ok day not 100% still not shifted my cold thought I had but it's crept back, ended up having 2 shakes and a grilled chicken salad for tea the cold and flu stuff was starting to hurt my stomach so needed food. Looking at it think I had shifted my cold but my youngest had a terrible cold and cough and think I have it now :-(

Its the change in weather. My son is full of snot and cold, and ended up in my bed for 3 nights running. But so far is sleeping through, so I put him in nursery anyway today so he gets a good run about - he loves it - and if he was too poorly to play they would call me.
I figure if the kids can play, they are not too bad!
