  • I'm not so much ttc as open to the possibility of getting pregnant. But I am taking a prenatal just in case, as l well as metformim, vitex, and inositol for pcos. I haven't tested again yet. I've had light cramps off and on and my boobs are a bit tender but that's about it. I keep looking for blood every time I user the…

  • ok, i think you've been given lots of good advice already. but, as someone who has worked with children, and who intends to become a teacher, if you think there's any chance she is regularly getting extra food from other kids at school, it's totally appropriate to shoot her teacher and e-mail or give her a call and ask if…
    in Question is about my 7 year old daughter who weighs 80lbs Comment by berrieblu January 2014
  • in the past (i've lost as much as 70lbs in one go before), my band size has gone down but my boobs have never gotten noticeably smaller in comparison to the rest of me. my cup size usually stays the same or even goes up. i went from a 44G to a 42J a few years ago. when i regained that time, i went up to a 48J for a little…

    in Newbie with alot to lose Comment by berrieblu April 2013
  • i personally find that if i don't do my weight training at the gym, i don't do it at all. and weight training is important, especially if you're trying to lose and keep off a significant amount of weight - it boosts your metabolism and keeps you from looking like a cancer patient. (seriously....have you ever seen someone…

  • my little brother was known for wandering off in stores when he was little (he's 27 now) - literally, turn your back and he'd be gone. he was a very friendly kid and seriously had no fear of anyone. i'm add and even now (at almost 30) will wander off just because something caught my eye. my mom used a leash on both of us…

  • get skinny by going vegan? but.....at least half of the vegans i've met were fat....and had been vegans for years.... calories count whether they come from a plant or an animal. i have much more respect for someone who becomes vegan to support animal welfare or the environment than i do for someone who does it because they…
    in The book "Skinny B!tch" Comment by berrieblu January 2012
  • i've read up on the hcg diet and the weight loss is ONLY from the extremely low calories. most dr's that have looked into it say that any reported decrease in hunger and cravings is placebo effect. the bottom line is that if you eat too few calories for too long, you WILL mess with your metabolism and potentially…

  • i'm another night shift person - i've switched to caffeinated teas and coffee to help stay awake when i need it. my favs are green tea with about a teaspoon of lemon juice and a little splenda or coffee with fat free cream (unflavored - and i measure it to keep from going overboard) and a bit of sugar-free flavored syrup.…
