I have been getting grey hairs since I was 25 (now I'm 41 so I'm in total shock thinking I have been getting highlights for 16 years) and have been getting highlights since then, my grey hair is not the nice kind but yours Molly is a lovely shade of grey and your dead right for not changing it. My mum had cancer twice (sadly has cancer a third time again) and the option of colouring her hair was taken away from her but she has a lovely shade of grey and a lot of people tell her that it suits her and she looks brilliant (you would never guess she has liver cancer)

I started to go grey at 25 too (it runs in my family - my Mum was completely silver by the time she was in her early 40's and never dyed her hair). I did dye it for a few years, but the whole hairdresser thing doesn't appeal (lol lougalx - I'd rather go to the dentist too!) and dying it at home is a pain. Plus it's like painting the Forth bridge isn't it? A never ending job!
Your hair is lovely Janet
- I've not had mine properly cut (as opposed to the odd light trim) for about the same amount of time. I never blow dry it, straighten it or otherwise heat treat it either so, loose, it reaches to my waist and is in surprisingly good condition.
No 'old lady' perms for us eh ladies?

Molly my mum's blonde hair evidently started going darker when she was 14 and then she used peroxide on it!! Wonder her hair didn't fall out but no she had a strong head of hair!! Mine on the other hand is fine and poker straight. My routine is wash, condition, blob of mousse and blow dry...that I can cope with! My hair is getting 'lighter' at the sides these days but at 63 that's OK. I think I shall probably end up with white hair rather than your lovely shade. I lived in Spain for 14 yrs and no doubt years of hot sun made it lighter too.

Wow Rochelle - you are a stunner!! You look absolutely gorgeous :wow:
Orla, re the colour of our greys - it occurred to me last night that I should have mentioned that mine used to be a very dull 'iron' grey until I started to use Pro-Voke Touch of Silver products in it. They really 'lift' the colour. Mind you I'd love to know what you use Cavegirl - yours is simply beautiful!

I agree the great weight losses are such an achievement and all their stories are different.
I'm one of the pathetic ones who didn't have much to lose! :sigh: Only joking I worked hard and sweated to get those pounds off!!

I agree Janet - the bigger losses do make interesting reading ,but that's not to deflect the achievements of those (including myself) who didn't have massive amounts to lose.
We are all different and amazing in our own ways, and I am proud of what I have done and worked hard for

im going to! Will do it at the weekend xGo for it Rochelle!
You have to go for it.I prefer to read someones journey like yours that has lost a lot and look fantastic then read the ones who have only lost a couple of stone. Well I don't even read those who haven't lost much.
Really? I even read the ones where people have lost a stone or 2. I always think weightloss is hard no matter if you have a stone to lose or 9 like me. But I must admit it's the ones that have lost the weight I have, or more, and it's completely changed their lives that I find inspiring and I found inspiring when at the start x
It was from Warehouse Hun xRochelle - I LOVE your dress!
