Thanks...LOL.  I am practicing my hair for my cousin's wedding...I'm a bridesmaid LOL.  My other cousin said it needed to be curlier...so, still practicing!!!

Good for you on the nine pounds!! When I want my hair to have a wavy look i braid it when damp.It looks really pretty.When it was shorter,brastrap length i would roll it on fat perm rods with setting lotion and i would get the spiral curls without chemicals.

My biggest problem is getting it pulled half up smoothly!!! You know, like the top looking good.  I got an Instyler last year.  I have naturally curly (CRAZY) hair so I straighten it sometimes or flip it out on the ends..my profile pic was done with the instyler tho.  Once you learn to stop burning yourself and use it right, it's AWESOME.  I 100% love it.  It makes your hair so shiny and feel so healthy and doesn't dry it out like the Chi flat iron.

Mine is straight as a board I always wanted curly hair.I got a perm once when I was younger and it looked like a lions mane!I guess we want what we don't have!

HOORAY eliruthy!!!
Ain't it great knowing you're going in the right direction?!

I understand BMI works OK if you have an "average" body type and do not have an athletic build.

I have a large skeletal frame (thick bones, broad shoulders, etc.).
In order for me to reach my recommended BMI, I'd have to be about 15-25 pounds underweight.
So I don't pay much attention to my BMI.

I don't know what my build is.  But I do know my wrists are bigger than my mom's and sisters, even tho we are the same height.  Also, I have broad shoulders too.  Hopefully I'm medium and not large lol.  All I know is, I just ordered my brother the book, and he's already began on my advise.  he needs to lose about 25 pounds or so.  I am now down 11.8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  BOOYA!!!!!!!!
