I'm in California. I don't combust my cannabis. So far I've tried a brownie, topical cream, capsules, and vaping (pre-filled cartridges, not flowers). I've had the best pain relief and sleep aid effects from the brownie and capsules (which I opened and mixed with food), so I'm thinking edibles are what works best for me.…

I was recently given a medical marijuana card. I don't have end-stage cancer or any other imminently life-threatening condition. I do have constant pain which I've recently been informed will not get better and is likely to get worse (hypermobility induced systemic arthritis, constant joint dislocations, etc.). Because of…

Welcome, Sandy!

I was in Copenhagen in 1989 and saw a man walking down the street at 2:00 in the morning, carrying a rifle. Denmark, like anywhere else, has criminals and I'd much rather be able to protect myself against them.

I wouldn't make it to lunch! :laugh:

I keep mine in a little dixie cup on my nightstand and take it whenever I wake up in the middle of the night. I don't have to worry about meals/caffeine/dairy, etc. when I do it this way. I mentioned to my endo at my last appointment that this is how I take mine, and she said it's perfect. Now if you sleep through the…

If you introduced carbs, your body has replenished it's glycogen stores (WATER WEIGHT). The fact that you haven't gained actually can be seen as a loss. When I reintroduced carbs, I gained 3 pounds which went away the first week on JUDDD. I'd say you're doing great!

I do BOTH of these. Doritos dipped in strawberry yogurt Grilled PB&J Cottage cheese with salsa

My initial goal weight was 199 and I never thought I'd make it there. From 280ish, it seemed like a really far-fetched goal. When I got there, I lowered it to 175 because that is "healthy" for my height, albeit at the highest end of healthy. When I got there, I decided to go for middle range of healthy. I've been…

I LOVE it! I looked at and handled several different compacts before I decided on this one. My hands are fairly large for a woman, but it's very comfortable. I've only been to the range with it once so far, and it was crazy accurate (or maybe I'm just that good? - HA!). Recoil's hardly noticeable. The trigger pull is a bit…

I just got a cute little Ruger LC380. Now to find the perfect handbag to accentuate it! :wink:

I lost almost all my weight with alternate day fasting. It's great! I'm currently maintaining with HDE (Hunger Directed Eating) and not tracking calories for the moment, but I would never have had the success I have without ADF.

41. and loving life!

I have a tazer that's a little less bulky than a firearm, though it's still added weight and a bit cumbersome. I keep that with me at all times. I suspect it would get a mountain lion to think twice about a second attempt at making me lunch. I'm thinking if you were going to carry a firearm, caliber wouldn't really matter…

Whipped cream and berries. SF syrup. BACON!

I was at a party Saturday night, and this woman looked at me and said, "You are absolutely gorgeous!" I thanked her and felt great for a while. Later, as she got drunker, she grabbed my butt. DH loved it, and it was fine for my ego, though highly inappropriate. :blushing:

I only get hit on by 70+ year old men. Not that I have anything against older men, but it might be nice to have someone my own age show some interest. Just for the ego factor, since I'm married, though DH sometimes tells me other guys are checking me out. I think he just wants to make me feel more attractive so he'll get…

A friend of a friend, who I see roughly once every 5 or 10 years, but we hung out quite a bit in college a million years ago, didn't recognize me at a function when I was at my heaviest. It really hurt, especially since she was thin and gorgeous. A few months ago, I ran into the same friend of a friend at a function. She…

I often eat them, and I eat the skin, too. :tongue:

I agree with the others. I lost almost all my weight with the alternate day diet (JUDDD), and you need to eat maintenance calories on the days you're not fasting, NOT 1200 calories. Please do some more research. IF is a fantastic tool, and one that got me to and past my goal, but it's not for everyone, especially those…

I use Dave's Scorpion Pepper sauce on just about anything savory. Now I need to find the Mick's jelly!

Nope, I'm a dog person.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: to all the newbies!

Hi! Yes, I'm still following JUDDD, and maintaining beautifully. Welcome.

Why did I not KNOW this?? Thank you! There will be shopping in my future. 5'9" here as well, and finding clothes is a PAIN. I'm set on jeans (finally), but tops are an issue, because not only am I tall, but I'm long-waisted as well.

Cantaloupe is disgusting. Durian is even MORE disgusting.

Banh Mi with Sriracha ~ guess I know what I'll be having for lunch!

I just got 2.5 pounds at Costco for $2.99. Guess what's for dinner!

First off, WAY TO GO!! I know you're fairly close to me (geographically), and I recently went through something similar with regards to undergarments. I hope I'm not overstepping here, but I went to Soma in Fig Garden Village last week and got properly fitted for new bras. I've lost 135 pounds and have maintained it for…

I grill it on the George Foreman grill, or steam it in the microwave in a steam bag. I LOVE asparagus. It's great by itself, with a little hollandaise or bernaise sauce, or dipped in mayo.
