I'm doing the same thing!
Nothing much to report here. Today, I broke down and wore my little bob wig. I got mad compliments on it, but I still have to get used to it with my pieface.
Prior to the wig, I've been sporting wash n' gos every day.
you keep messing with your face, stop calling yourself pieface Delia is growing on me more and more
she actually seems real, like she is mine, I pulled a few strands while on my head and asked my dear Husband "did my hair grow?" he goes 
erplexed 
inocchio :crazy::alcoholicYour Crazy! and yes his face did all of those expressions before he finally gave an answer

4 months left and I need 3 inches...
I'm not trying to stress about it though...I'm going to keep PS'ing and using Low Manipulation styles to push through...
I know that's it's do-able because I average .75 inches a month (of retention)...That will put me at full MBL...
Let me stop overanalyzing this thing...I'm starting to freak myself out!

Been feeling lazy, hairwise these days. Maybe because I've been so busy getting my kids ready for school. But in addition, I've been trying not to length check my hair in the mirror when I get out of the shower so, I'm dying to know how my hair's growing. I was hoping for a summer growth spurt but I don't know if I'm gonna get one, especially since I've been hiding from the summer heat. Is it necessary to spend time outside? And now I've signed up for a hide your hair challenge. *gulp* Can I ignore my hair's growth that long? Even tho I'm trying to focus more on fitness? *sigh* This is going to be interesting. Whose bright idea is this?
JJ, are you still length checking periodically and just not posting pics? Or are you trying not to notice? How's this thing supposed to go?
BTW, I'm hoping to claim mbl by the end of this month. The bottom of my bra strap is mbl and I had my longest layer there. Hopefully I'll have enough below to feel comfortable claiming it. I'm definitely peeking at the end of this month.

Right now I am in braids Njoy, so I couldn't if I wanted to, I don't want to notice, I am a little saddened still but the braids are definitely a god send because I don't have to see it at all. I take them down in One week and 1 day. I am going to baby my hair for 2 weeks and put them back up. I did take pictures that I haven't posted to Fotki or to LHCF so maybe by December I will have the past pics I have taken put up so it will gear up for my reveal which will be the first or second week of January.

Ok, so I'm lmbo @myself and have to publicly humiliate myself to share my inside joke.
So, based on the length chart I've attached, it says bsl should be right at the nips, right? Well, in my bra with the girls up where the good Lord intended, my hair has been on my nips already. But, due to having and nursing 4 kids, when I let the girls loose, my hair has to go on a wild goose chase trying to catch up with the nips which run down under the bra line where the chart says mbl. So I've always thought when my hair catches the center of my nips, then I'm mbl. Well, I just checked and my hair is hanging out with my nips, chilling south of the border. I want to be excited but all I can do is lol @myself and think I REALLY need a boob lift.
Thank God for Victoria's Secret.
Now I'm confident that I'll be claiming it at the end of this month. Back to my phonytail. (so embarrassing Let's keep this between us, ok ladies?)

N Joy that was too funny but I will keep that between us ladies...lol
I havent done a length check since April and it was a piece...I havent worn my hair out none this year, a little set back in June...hopefully I will have recovered from it...bad weave experience....I plan to do a length check the end of this month if I meet my weight loss goal.....lol
You talking about the girls, I have to talk about my low arm pits, my arm pits are sooo slow, that my armpits are where most people bsb/bsl falls......so its been a journey getting my hair to grow down my back ....sad I will post the shot I took in April.....
Im hoping to be shocked in a good way at this end of the month....You know its bad when you having a dream about your hair, I had dreamed last night I was at the shop getting my hair flatironed and fell a little past mbl....wishful thinking...but as long as we can DREAM I SHALL....be back with the picture

I just did another protective style courtesy of Missjae09, my kitchentician...She is a lifesaver as I don't know how to flat twist or cornrow...My plan was to do a rollerset, but that fell through, so I'm back in my trusty flat twists again...I am going to give the twist out ONE MORE DOGGONE try and then I'm throwing in the towel...Le Sigh...Some of us are destined to have bangin twist outs and braid outs and others of us (ME!!!) aren't...
By the way, I am so freakin ready to do a length check, I could gag...But, I just did one at the beginning of July, so I know that if I did one now, I would be disappointed...I've got to at least wait until September...and then of course, I will keep the pics hidden, lol (cause I'm in the Hide Your Hair Challenge as well)...NJoy, JJ, and any other knowledgable ladies...do you think I can reach mid-back by Dec, honestly? Help me out...Here is my July length check pic...It was taken July 3...It's August 17...Be honest...
ETA: I grow about .75 inches a month on average...

IMO I'd give yourself till the beginning 2-3 months in 2011 to be below your bra if you get 1/2 per month. Your definitely close

Yes ma'am it is! Thank you so much for the encouragement!!!
We will be cheering each other on because I just know that you are going to be MBL in a couple of months!

See, I'm just a little more optimistic. Or maybe I'm just naive but, I think if you're doing .75" a month, you can make it by the end of this year (hang on. let me go look at that pic again.).
Yep. I say, expect it. Worse that can happen is that you'll have to wait an extra month or two but...uh... .75", you say? I say rock on, mama! Yep! Yep! I'm cheering you on! :woohoo:I remember having a hair dream where I stretched my hair past hl and it scared the stuffing outta me. Ahhh, gotta love those dreams tho. Like you said, as long as we can DREAM...
Looking forward to your length check. Rooting you on to get to the coveted apl. The rest will be a breeze by comparison. So, I know good and well that I'm supposed to be working on a major project right now. I'm taking breaks and checking the boards as I reach mini goals, as a reward. I'm happy to see more activity. Keep it coming ladies. Keep it coming.

Yes, I had to go back and edit after you mentioned the average growth part!
I think that you will be pleasantly surprised when you take down those braids!
Your hair seems to grow like weeds!

Your styles are definitely awesome! Keep up the good work.
