Nothing at all...way more comfortable and no panty lines ;)

I'm 5'4, I think it's typically considered average, but my hubby (6'3) still thinks it's fun to call me a hobbit, or occasionally an oompa loompa...;)

Hi just to give you a little encouragement, my daughter has had a Mirena IUD for about two years now. She always had pretty horrific periods (as do I) but the Mirena has worked wonders. She had light periods for about three months after having it put in then her periods stopped for the most part. She will occasionally have…

WTF ARE YOU DOING AND WHERE IS OUR COUCH! That just totally cracked me up :)

Vegan here, I usually hit over 100 g/day using Morningstar products, protein shakes (Muscle Milk) and edamame. I only do 1/2 to 1 serving of the Muscle Milk and usually one serving of either the Morningstar Sausage Patties or Black Bean Burger, and snack on edamame. I also like to make an almond milk latte with just Blue…

I just sent you a fr too Kudos :) I need more vegan/vegetarian friends as well!

Hi just sent you a fr, I'm vegan and will turn 40 next month :)

This seems unnecessarily harsh, there were probably a variety of factors involved in your miscarriage, from what I've read being over weight does increase chance of miscarriage, however the link between obesity and miscarriage is very complicated. I'm so sorry for your loss. Is there a miscarriage/infertility support group…

I'm so sorry, it is unreal how rude people can be!

Good luck to you! The vegan lifestyle can be a huge adjustment, and very difficult to do in a healthy way. I think that it can be done, but takes lots of planning and preparation, otherwise you end up just substituting carbs for protein (not you specifically, the typical person starting out.) I found it a little easier to…

Not a former fat dude.... But I am decently "ripped". Yes...yes you are ;)

19 lb is fantastic! Be proud of that. The thought of being on a diet is pretty depressing I think, it's all about deprivation, who would want to do that! Think about how you want to live your life. Do you want to be out doing fun things? What fun things do you want to do? Exercise should be fun, it shouldn't feel like…

Maybe think about the differences that you feel right away, such as maybe it was a little easier to walk up a hill this week than it was last week, or maybe you could walk just a little bit farther. It's amazing how quickly some changes happen, but they are usually really subtle and you have to be really mindful to notice…

Be sure and wear flip flops, even in the shower. Women's locker rooms aren't usually bad, but you still have to take precautions to avoid athletes foot and plantars warts. Just remember that no one is super comfortable in that setting, so usually everyone just hurries and doesn't make eye contact lol. And I'm a mom, so…

Castle Rock here, I moved from Wyoming not long ago so I'm looking for trails too.

Well said! Like a previous poster I'm quoting and highlighting just in case anyone missed.

Great, the MRAs have found this site <sarcasm>

I'm usually a lurker here, don't often comment. I just wanted to say thank you to the original op for starting this discussion and thank you to all you strong feminist women out there of all shapes and sizes for the thoughtful commentary. I'm a petite, fit person who has never been overweight, the only time I've ever…

I'm kind of in the same boat, when I don't see a weight loss like I think I should I restrict more, and then more, and then more. It's a vicious cycle. I'm a runner too (at least I was until tendonitis in my foot :( set in) I have thought of food as an enemy to be conquered my whole life, that's just how I was taught to…

I made the most amazing dinner tonight and super easy. Chopped up russet potatoes, mixed with a little olive oil, salt and pepper, threw in a steamer bag full of diced squash and sliced brats. Mixed all together and then spooned into small squares of aluminum foil that had been sprayed with nonstick spray and wrapped up…

Sorry if this has already been said, but I recently read a research article that indicated that people who smoke pot tend to weigh less than non-smokers. The gist of the conclusion/explanation was that marijuana possibly changes the body's insulin response, leading to decreased blood sugar. I can't remember the source…

Age: 38 Ht: 5'4 SW: 127 CW: 119 GW: 115 I know I know we're not twins at all, I replied because I live in Castle Rock :) BTW, goal weight is not hugely important, I'm currently at 22% body fat and am really shooting for 20%, whatever weight that ends up being is fine with me.:smile: Edit: this was supposed to go to…
