Anyone else finding that they have more body hair since losing weight?

I agree with the hormone theory. I used to be thin and had to shave my legs every other day. As I gained weight the hair grew more slowly until at my highest weight I hardly had to shave at all! I just think that when the fat cells are gone (or shrunk) the estrogen decreases and the hair growth gets to a level consistent with your weight. I'm not looking forward to growing a mustache but I'll take it over morbid obesity.

Yes, that does make sense to me.  I just had not related fat/estrogen/hormones and, of course, you are right.  I just hadn't seen this particular problem mentioned here before.  Also, I would much rather get rid of the moustache every month or so, along with the weight, than I would the alternative.  Just a weird side effect!  Thanks for the post.

Maybe the hair follicles are just closer together?

Now, THAT'S Funny!!  Thanks for my laugh of the morning!!!!
