About Me

New Orleans, Louisiana, United States
🌾 Welcome to My Low‑Carb Life As of January 2026, I’ve started a new chapter: I recently began the GLP‑1 Wegovy pill to help me get back on track with my weight‑loss goals. Life has thrown its share of challenges my way, and I’ve gained back some of the weight I once worked so hard to lose — so this is my reset moment. My journey began in 2008, when my doctor warned me about rising blood pressure and challenged me to lose ten pounds in three months. I ended up losing 26. By 2011, life had shifted again, and I recommitted to the low‑carb lifestyle that helped me feel strong and steady. And today, I’m still committed — just with new tools, new wisdom, and a whole lot more grace for myself. I live just outside New Orleans, deep in sweet Cajun Country, where we hunt, fish, “make groceries,” and enjoy the simple things. I exercise three times a week and practice relaxing on the off days. My immediate goal is to lose 15 pounds, and I’m focused on moving forward with intention and consistency. So pull up a chair and stay a spell — this blog follows my low‑carb journey, my Southern roots, and now, my Wegovy pill adventure.

Test Results are IN !

and they are that everything is NORMAL !! (Guess that depends on who you ask right ?)

I'm loosing hair, but the blood tests and thyroid test are completely normal...

So now what ? I'm taking the Biotin and also multi vitamins.

I guess I have to wait and see if it 'repairs' itself.

Not too many people out there are reading my blog nowadays, (cept the ye old faithful ones !), so I really dont know if anyone ELSE out there has had hair loss after weight loss.

Guess we can't pick and choose, can we ??

So I'm back to square one... (Oh boy!)

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Have a Blessed Evening..

BB,

What did your doctor suggest as a "next step"? Wait and see?

I'm still researching the 'hair loss' article. I've been assigned a few other topics and there are a few family matters that I need to attend to first.

Keep digging on your side too. See what you can find on the 'net and beyond. There's bound to be a solution out there. Let's see if we can discover it!

Take good care!

That is good to hear :) Well something you may consider.. it helped my mother.. she went to Hawaii to do a clense..during the clense you really clean yourself out ( you can see what comes out) and you will be surprised what comes out but the thing is that afterwords nutritients are more easily absorbed in your intestines and in my Mothers case here hair loss stopped..unfortunatley for my father it didnt stop hehe

Its rather expensive.. but woth a try.. I can get you contact info if you are really interested..

Come back in a couple of months he said, this is the dermatologist. I thought for sure there were tests to find out if you were not taking enough vitamins, or which ones you were lacking ? HELP ??

LOL.. I'm on the biotin and multi vitamin... although I'm not quite sure whats going on here.

The cleanse, oh my I thank you for the suggestion, but I dont think I'll go there. I had a colonscopy a couple years ago, so I'm good. Gotta be brave to do that. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Yep, Harry, perhaps I can be one of the people you interview for your hair loss article, a real candidate aye ?

Thanks for all the suggestions, yall, KEep em coming.. :)

Hope the biotin and multi vitamin work. I lost hair when I was pregnant with my son 19 years ago and it never came back. While I was pregnant I lost 70 pounds. I had morning sickness all day long and it lasted the whole pregnancy. So I'm thinner on top. I never lost any more but didn't gain what I had lost either. Unfortunately the weight came back but not the hair.... I notice more than others do.

Hope you find an answer.

tHANK you for your comments, New Vision. Seems like I lost the weight, (good things) and then something else crops up. Funny isn't it ? Thanks for sharing ;)
