  • How frumpy you might feel when you're in transition. Yes, you are physically smaller, but it all kind of sits "funny" now and nothing fits quite right. I thought I'd be stoked about getting halfway to my goal but now I just want to hurry up and get there so I can relearn how to dress myself!

  • I had this problem too. Other than bottled Dasani (Dasani is gross) there was absolutely *nothing* I could eat from the concession stand (I don't do soda, diet or otherwise). So I brought my own homemade chicken jerky, pork rinds, and sparkling lemon water. My feeling is this: With the rediculous mark-up on popcorn the…

  • I agree. I have had my PCOS and insulin resistant diagnosis for a couple of years now, but after following normal "calories in, calories out" model of weight loss to mitigate my symptoms and try to conceive - I've been frustratingly going in circles and have only just started to accept the syndrome's difficulties and take…

If you can get it in a proper champagne flute and stick with a Brut or a Brut mix you should be fine, but I find a lot of places may not be…
    in Alcohol Conundrum Comment by nanadeek September 2013
  • I also struggle with this, but have learned a few things: Timing: When I'm trying to maximize the effects of alcohol but don't want to drink all night I make sure to hydrate (this works for me) and drink on a nearly empty stomach.

  • I have two: 1) Working out during "that time". Not only did I feel good enough to motivate to do it in the first place (usually I feel so terrible, nothing will do but the couch) I didn't phone it in!
