I didn't read a single reply, but my answer is: "Don't let the door hit ya in the *kitten* on the way out...." And then I'd get in the best shape of my life JUST to spite him. ;)

My mistake. I'm in the tubal-ligation business and the most common reason is "we don't want any more". You are one of the rarer folks that we ask NOT to have any more children. You definitely should NOT be trying to get pregnant again as, frankly, you were lucky to live through your uterine rupture. That being said, my…

I have a hubby that many women would LOVE to have (tall, built, employed, super-supportive, cooks, cleans, etc. He's not PERFECT, but he's pretty perfect for me!) and we DON'T have kids. He WANTED a woman who DIDN'T want kids (which is why he worked for me...among other things). Now, 17 years later....still going strong.…

Great story!!! Very motivating and congratulations on ONEderland!!!!

Cut your doc a break. The average primary care doctor is FORCED (by need to pay overhead) to see between 25 - 40 patients a day, generally 4-5 days a week. That's at least 100 patients a week, 48 weeks a year. ~4800 patients and you have seen him once in that time. Docs are smart, not computers. They can't remember every…

QFT....take a pregnancy test FIRST, then go see your doctor. That being said, stress of any kind (including quick weight loss OR gain) can alter your periods for 3-6 months and this is considered NORMAL. Unless you are now 4 months pregnant, there is very little to worry about, and your periods will likely return all on…

Amazing! I bet your other half can't keep his hands off you!!! Congrats!

You look gorgeous in your wedding dress! It's amazing how big it looks on you now! Congratulations!

That truly is a GREAT B-day present! Happy Birthday!

Check out REI.com I think my hiking pants are some of the most flattering pants I own. They have numerous cuts, for differing body-types, and the are VERY durable (or at least the sets that I have are). They aren't cheap, but they are durable, and they really are made for hiking (ie: pockets, ties, etc) which makes up for…

Wow....this is HUGELY inspiring to me, since I am losing so slowly, while simultaneously lifting. I already have some "before" pics. I definitely need to keep up with taking "afters", it looks like!!

lol, nvm...read that wrong No, I agree with the douchebaggery-vibe others have commented on. I don't need that....

Pay off debt first, then with the remaining $35M... 1) Aston Martin Vanquish, Eleanor, and a couple old street rods (with more collected on interest payments as we go)...and a large, industrial-sized space to house them in my "ultimate garage" (like Jay Leno, etc) 2) A very secluded cabin somewhere in the Rockies or…

Working for me :)

I see what you did there...... #State Farm :bigsmile: :drinker:

I love my job. ;)

GO GATORS!!!!! :bigsmile: :heart: and Seahawks...I'm a transplant, so I'm still working on this one.... And GO TEBOW...may you FINALLY get a chance to play on a real team!!! :drinker:

I love the gym. Especially because it's at the Navy base and full of awesome, top-o-the line equipment. I hate that they have crappy hours (THANK YOU SEQUESTER). I LOVE my home gym, even better. :)

No, she's talking about the Supraclavicular Fossa...the area in between your clavicle, Sternocliedomastoid, and the top of the Trapezius. I know (ok, I don't know...but I'm guessing), because I have puffy ones too... Sorry, hon, they are padded with extra fat. They'll go away as you lose weight. edited to add cool Gray's…

While I appreciate the people giving the Noobies a "pass" and saying they just don't have the "experience" to know the ettiquette yet, I respectfully, totally, disagree. I am a Noobie. I've run exactly two 5K races in my life...and mostly I walked. I knew to start at the back without anyone telling me. It's common sense.…

Maybe my man-bits will help me learn how to build a better campfire....

agreed

Since I'm not privy to your exact numbers, let me just say, in general ALL (normal) WOMEN are "drastically low" in Testosterone, and if you are truly overweight or obese by BMI criteria (it doesn't sound like you're a bodybuilder or particularly muscular), it would be almost IMPOSSIBLE to be "drastically low" in Estrogen,…

I think those of us who don't run, but would LIKE to, look at runner's and think it they make LOOK easy. My 50-yr-old-going-on-18 girlfriend just finished Ragnar (200mile, over-night relay, for those that don't know...) a few weeks ago. In her pictures on Facebook, she looks strong, sexy, sweaty, and is SMILING from ear to…

Yes! This is also one of the plethora of reasons that, while bedside manner is important (and can be controlled in the free-market...crappy docs run off their patients, go broke, and go home), the new system of "grading" doctors with patient "surveys" (which also have many factors surveyed that the doctor, often, can NOT…

Yes, it is. (and now, there are even CLASSES within obesity...class 1, 2, 3, and the "super-morbidly obese" with BMIs over 45) That is my point. People who get offended when their medical professional gives them a "diagnosis".

Just so you, and others, know....there is no "test" for fibromyalgia. It is a "disease of exclusion"...meaning they can find no other explanation for your symptoms.

Depo Provera does NOT "cause" weight gain. It "causes" increased appetite....it is the same hormone you produce when you're pregnant and "eating for two". YOU then eat more, and gain weight accordingly. Unfortunately, many women are not warned of this beforehand, and by the time they connect the dots, many pounds may be…

Enough money to pay off everything I owe on currently, plus enough to never worry about money again, while traveling the world...

One of my colleagues ended up divorced after her husband cheated on her. She is a career woman whose only loves were him, their kids, and her job. Apparently, HE had a better lawyer and she ended up paying him $4K a month....even after he shacked up with the mistress. That's just NOT right....for either sex. I don't agree…
