  • I agree, optimum nutrition rocks and the double rich chocolate is the best:). My husband tried the whey you get at walmart and it was giving him some intestinal issues so he switched to optimum nutrition and hasn't experienced the same problems. You can get a sampler pack from optimum nutrition to try a bunch of their…

  • To those who are talking about the fish oil pills causing gross burps...here is a fish oil supplement that's actually really tasty and so far hasn't caused me to burp at all (granted even if it did cause burps they won't be gross and fishy): http://www.barleans.com/omega-swirl.asp My husband bought a container of the pina…

  • I dont have a specific store recommendation, but have you thought about getting items tailored? The hosts of what not to wear talk all the time about getting items tailored for women who have a hard time finding things that fit well all over off the rack.

  • I'm around 5'4.5", 114lbs and have a small frame as well. Both my doctor and my husband have said they think I'm too skinny and would like to see me in the 120-125 range so my current goal is to actually put on some weight (muscle weight) and hit 120 and see how I feel there. At my weight right now I'm a size 0-2 so 115…

  • Thanks for the replies! All very good suggestions:). I figured I should be doing something more natural like oatmeal for breakfast but I looove cold cereal so I was hoping the kashi cereal would be ok...ah well, guess it's oatmeal time, haha. The suggestion of cottage cheese as opposed to PB/bread is a good idea. I was…
