I agree. Don't use it as an excuse. Low hormone methods only resulted in weight gain in 0.1% of patients in clinical studies - so it's unlikely. The depo shot is notoriously evil for it, but even that was something like 6% of those in clinical trials. It's like a big fish story - the ones it happened to tell everyone, and…

11/4 - 18 miles, 14 mph avg 11/17 - 30 miles, 15.1 mph avg Getting dark early, the cold and life is keeping me off the bike. :-(

It's a learning curve. I spend 3 days a week driving, and it's knowing what will fit into my day. Sadly, it's more difficult when you don't have control over where you are going. but learn some basics, like some fast food options, and then some "standard" places like Applebees, and you can kind of work your day around it.…

No snow tires yet... although I am contemplating it. But now I'm going to creep this thread because there's all these men pulling their kids behind them... and that's kinda hot. :blushing:

If you like sweet and fruity, stay with white or the champagne. But if you are going out and picking up your own, try a good Moscato or reisling (my personal favorite). The absolute best I've had is Bartenura's moscato. Ah.mah.zing. Otherwise I love black sheep moscato, Cupcake reisling, and I'm now obsessed with pink…

Madone 4.5 with shimano. Love it. Loooooove it.

Mapmyride is consistently wrong for me. In fact, so much so that I'm convinced it is on crack. I haven't tried anything else. I just use my cateye on the hybrid and my node 1.1 on the Madone. I would like to try something else though....

Gosh, I wouldn't give a rip if my husband went through my computer, phone, etc. I mean, if he really wants to read all about work, work, more work and probably a little bit more work, along with goofy texts from my BFF about needing some venting time, so be it. Seems like good reading to fall asleep to, actually.

Different goals. His - to be ripped, lift heavy, see abs. Me - To fit into reasonable pants sizes, stay that way, be comfortable with myself and look good in clothes and better than I used to without. Also, long distance biking. I do not care about muscles. And in fact, not a fan of abs. I think accepting that we are on…

I think we all agree that without any potential issues in the picture, we all think our kid is the best, cutest, most smart kid to ever walk the planet. But friends like that annoy me - and then to compare when comparing just isn't even fair, that really stinks. I would avoid your friend... you can find better playmates,…

The only time I remember hating that was back when I was a teenager and anorexic. But I was the type to cover it up, didn't want anyone to know I was less than "perfect" while trying to look "perfect" and be "perfect". So if someone told me I looked like crap (which happened most often from a teacher who had been anorexic…

They actually recommend NOT using Q-tips, because it compacts the wax in your ear and can cause further problems. And boogers eventually would come out on their own - it's the body's way of protecting you from unknown objects. So half of your thread is completely invalid. Thanks for playing anyway.

I manage to work in either wine, Cadbury eggs, or Fun Dip nearly every day. And I love it. No ill effects here!

My husband said this. He can drink a pot by himself if it's available. Now he's converted, too. But I order coffee from websites like shoffee.com at much better prices. :-)

I didn't lose weight for 3 months eating 1,200. I upped to 1,500 and it fell off. Now I'm kind of stuck again, but I bike long distances a couple times a week, and I think I need to A) commit more, and B) try to balance it all over the week. But I'm to the point where if I don't lose any more weight, I'm not really sad…

Pumping is INSANELY hard work. I wish I could have just breastfed. Pump, bottle, then feed baby.... rather than just feeding the baby. Then you need to wash all the parts and bottles. I estimated it burned an extra FOUR hours each day by me pumping. FOUR. An AM pumping session alone (once you can sleep through for 6 hours…

We need to ban all babies using bottles in photos then, too. Seriously, why is this inappropriate? In other cultures, women walk around shirtless. Watch the documentary "Babies", for example. Until you are a mom, you don't realize how there is a huge split between moms who breastfeed and moms that do not, and the hostility…

Yes, it is. Unfortunately, I'm self-employed and my boss doesn't let me take lunches. :sad: No time to take lunch. You get it done, you get it done fast, you eat over a two hour period while you're getting it done, and you get more work to get done. More work = more money = my kids get to eat and I pay my mortgage.

Just a random question - so by your logic, you would be okay with women posting photos of them breastfeeding right? I know it's totally a different topic, but I find it slightly frustrating that cleavage shots are acceptable but typically speaking people complain about breastfeeding shots. Also, to those that don't approve…

When I started biking (spring 2011) my average speed was about 8 MPH. Now my average runs about 16.5 MPH. Instead of going 10 miles, I go 40!

I find that I did best when I had eaten a few hours before. So I guess I would go in between. But I'm also one of those people that is randomly prone to getting nauseous during some workouts - not all, not only when I work hard, just randomly from what I can tell. So I don't dare do it on a completely empty stomach, and I…

My mother in law is obsessed with hers. This, of course, is enough for me to never even want to see one in person. You know, logically and all.

Counting calories is like balancing my checkbook. If I do it in my head, I always end up underestimating or forgetting things completely. So I track my calories and work hard enough that I don't have to worry about balancing my checkbook. Easier all the way around. :grumble:

Once I went without the trailer, I wanted to go all the time without the trailer!

Gray boy shorts with white stripes. Except for my bike ride. Then, well....

There is so much more wrong with that than just the duck face....
