Quoted my starting pic from all the way back in November. I'm also attaching my length check that I've posted in some other challenges. The left is from February and the right is from earlier in March. So it was about a month between the pics. I'm getting a good inch per month now with consistent vitamin usuage and my hair is thickening up and overall, looking healthier.
I think I'm on track to reach BSL by June.
Officially one month into using Maca, I have no changes in my hip (booty) measurements. Actually, it looked like it was a little down. I really need to start doing my exercises because I think that will maximize my efforts. I'm now taking 2/day most days.
Still taking daily:
a generic multi (waiting for this to run out to get something better)
1 calcium/vit D
At least 1 Viviscal/day (sometimes 2)
At least 1 Maca (sometimes 2)
3 fish oils (sometimes I forget these)
Usually have an Amazing Grass smoothie about once a week with vanilla almond milk, 1/2 a banana and 2 maca capsules blended in. I'm also drinking 2-3 Odwalla, bolthouse, or naked smoothie per week.
I think that's my limit...5 vitamin/supplements. Anything beyond that I think I will just be confused.

Checking in...I've been taking my vitamins and this morning I made another green smoothie (a peanut butter & banana green smoothie w/ kale).
I'm currently in a protective style so I wont be able to do a length check. Here is a comparison from Dec to Feb though:
December 20th
February 28th

Thanks! My hair is so short (mostly my own doing b/c I cut it short frequently), but I'm trying to grow it out. Let's see if I can get a healthy head of SL hair before I grab the scissors again lol.

Ok, here are my March check in pictures, although I will admit, they aren't the best :-(. The first set are in December when both of my shoulders were dislocated. So, reaching behind to show my length wasn't a possibility. Hopefully, with the March pictures and onward, I'll show a more accurate length. Still on course with all my vitamins!

Hey there, I have a question about chlorella and spirulina. I have both and would like to know if for example the daily dosage for chlorella is 12 a day and I am also taking spirulina do I still have to take 12 chlorella a day as well as the spirulina or can I take half of that which is 6 and also 6 spirulina a day because of its similar nutrient profile ?
EDA: Maybe I will just take a few less of each because somtimes chlorella is higher in one particular nutrient than spirulina and vice versa. I guess its about getting the balance right
TIA and HHG too

Ok.... I am not as discipline on my vitamins as I am with my workout but I am trying. I probably gain an 1/2" inch in 3 months (dust the ends in February). I am not impressed with Priveta Vitamins and after I am done with the bottles, I'm going back to Viviscal.
Below is my quarterly update. Until next time, HHG everyone.

Here's my progress pic:
Because I was silly I forgot to take a starting pic. So a picture of my new growth from my last relaxer which was on the 12th of Feb will have to suffice for now. The piece that I'm holding is about 4.5 cm. it's the longest bit of new growth I have. The rest is on average 2cm although its hard to tell because most of my curls don't clump. I've also just taken a pic of my hair for the next update so I should be able to do a proper comparison.

lindsaywhat - great progress. It looks as though you have achieved 2 inches in 3 months.

Here are my length check pics. I've been consistent with my vitamins.
Pic #1 is my starting pic (or maybe one taken a day or two later). Fresh TU.
Pic #2 was taken last Saturday, I'm right in front -- can't see my face, but you can see the length.
Pic #'s 3 and 4 were taken about 5 minutes ago. I went to a stylist on Friday and let her do a "dusting".
Sorry about my muscle back
, the stripes on my shirt would have made it hard to see the hair in the pic clearly.

Here is my LC for March 30th. I think I may have gotten about and inch - but only with my longest layer. Just barely touching BSL. I had a lot of shedding last month so hopefully once that is under control I can grow and retain more.
