2011 Hide Your Hair Challenge! (Jan 1st - June 30th)

Okay I am going in..... I have about 20 lbs I want to lose, Actually I am going to lose it as I feel needed. I like my bum and want to keep my boobs which I know will go. I have always had a bum but want to lose the excess. LOL

I am purchasing some Fat Burners I know bad bad bad, But I am also joining a gym for 6 months ;) Or 2. LOLOLOLOLOL

Salads and smoothies and eating healthy oh my!

I went and bought my books today :) So class starts on Saturday Yay!

I know how your feelings. I have been on birth control for like 3 years & I went from 147 to 202. I'm hoping I can drop about 30 pounds before the summer I'm starting my exercise sessions this Monday. What diet pills do you plan on taking? I tried silm quick and didn't like it they gave me headaches.

Some days I feel if I lhcf less and workout more, I'd be fit as a fiddle.:rolleyes: My work encourages that we take 3 hours of company time per week to workout BUT they never really make that time available as the "job comes first." I need to trim down too but it will come...just NOT right now. Work is too stressful for me to joke myself with eating healthy. I never was a healthy eating chick. I was always active with sports (basketball) and that's how I've maintained weight through the years. I think if I can just up my activity a little, I can continue eating as I please. I'm a little shy of 5'11" so I can carry a little more weight and it not show.

Still wearing Solange and will be for the rest of the month, need to be looking at which wig I wanna wear for Feb. I said that I would get a wig a month and then I can rotate btwn that and the previous month one. Imma get me another Solange alsoo just bc I love her that much...

I just started ZUMBA and it it a fun and intense workout. You lose 1000 to 1300 calories per workout, Plus its fun fun so you don't even feel like its real exercise.
 
Finally finished installing crochet braids in the crown of my head after wearing hats for 2 days bc I was too lazy to complete them :lachen::lachen::lachen: I like how they look and not having to do my hair for at least a month :lol:

You know what, I want to wear my hair out. I WILL BE wearing my hair out tomorrow if the weather isn't harsh and cold like it's been. I'm going salon shopping tomorrow. Have a consult with a new salon. Any suggestions for how this consult thing should go? What questions to ask, etc? This is my first in-person consult EVER. Before lhcf, I just showed up at a new salon, hoping for the best. Not anymore...I want to interview them to ensure we are a good fit for each other.

Here's my thread:

Very nice! What type of hair did you use?

Thanks so much! I used Freetress Water Wave Bulk Hair bc that was suggested in the threads. I used 2 and a half packs and they cost $5.99/each. This was very cost effective for me bc I can't afford to pay $200 for braids right now! I got this look for under $20!!! :yep: It is all thanks to LHCF and the tutorials ladies gave me! I tried this bc several threads popped up with pics talking about anybody could do it! That was true...even a hair challenged lady like myself can do it bc it is so simple :yay: Man, LHCF is making me feel like Superwoman, all empowered and stuff :yep:

LOL!!! Come on over then! I'll welcome you to Michigan :lol: I was just in NJ last month for a Prince concert, so you need to come here anyway :lachen::lachen:

You can do them, they are SO easy! Thank you for all the compliments...girl, hop on this train, it is the latest LHCF trend! :lachen::lachen:
 
Wow! this is too cute! I remember wearing crochet braids back in the day, but I've never seen them with loose hair! This is beautiful on you!
