Shave all body hair! My hubby was my combat swim instructor trainer and the habit never wore off. I freaking LOVE it. Nothing more gross than a guy reaching out for me to snuggle up to him and seeing that he means for me to put the crook of my neck in a nasty nest of armpit hair to tickle. Bleck. Having the uh...…

BeilaLin: I see a definite "cutting in" at your natural waist line in the front view and I'm pretty sure your derrière is a bit more compact in the profile shot... Great job!!! On another note; I may have to gracefully duck out of the September shots, as I'm getting breast augmentation and abdominoplasty next month on the…

10!!! If I could rate higher due to your awesome personality, I would! :)

I showed hubby "the chart" and he says I'm an 11, though personally I'd like to think I'm in some kind of purgatory between 11 & 5. His ideal is somewhere between 3 & 4, though 4's rack is a bit riDONKulous. (This makes me even more wary of his input at last week's consult for my augmentation surgery next month. Granted…

Bump. Interesting, but I usually defer to evolutionary psychology studies for these sort of things (FASCINATING stuff, btw)...

There are only 4 surgeons in the US at last count (2-3 years ago when I looked into it) that are qualified for stem-cell enriched fat grafting breast augmentation. The closest to me is in AZ, I forgot his name. It >might< take you up a cup size. I was hoping it would have really taken off by now, but it hasn't and it…

I didn't find out that my mother-in-law had a c-section until I read her autopsy report, she healed up that well! She was 5'7", 144lbs and in AWESOME shape! (then cerebral hemorrhage out of nowhere, she was dead before she hit the floor) But yeah, the c-section scar in the report was a total surprise.

^ I'm getting silicone too. I gotta ask, how long are your incision scars compared to the saline ones from the first time around?

Mine is scheduled for Aug. 12th Why did you get it? I'm done having kids. I was a perky B and now a saggy B with 3 pregnancies and 26 months combined breastfeeding. By my third trimester with my last baby I was a full D & loved it. I'm sick of putting the "wonder" in my WonderBra. How much did it cost? Did you finance it…

Dedicate your Friday nights to a new activity. Go for a nice long walk with your son or grab a book and get absorbed. Just my 2 cents. You can't simply remove a part of your ROUTINE without replacing it with something else and expect to be successful.

Bump for a new set of eyes...

I'm a former Marine, so I'm up for any distance/difficulty level. My fave is the Red Rocks loop and that was easy enough for my 6 & 10 year olds to tag along for. A good 1.5-2hrs... a finish in the amphitheather with a stair-climb for the really ambitious sounds like fun. I would love to hear about/try other trails though.…

Yes!!! I'm in Westminster!

Yeah, I never heard of a doc saying it was advisable to have kids after a tuck, simply because the results get totally undone vs. augmentation where there is usually some but tolerable change to the results. Though I'm sure it's happened before; I guess you just have to have major revision surgery later. I was considering…

Thanks for the input! Doc says since all of my problem area is from only about a 1/2" above my belly button he might not be able to totally get rid of the old belly button hole, so I might have a slight vertical scar in the middle of the hip scar (I'm giggling as I write because I'm thinking of how one draws a cat's mouth)…

Well I'll be sure to keep everyone posted! The girls I know who have augmentation done never had kids or breastfed, so I'm really interested in hearing the pain/discomfort comparisons from women who've experienced engorgement & nursing, because then at least I'll have an idea I can gauge from. I've heard plenty of…

I give ki4idb a 5, mostly because I'm a crotchrocket kinda girl. May I request an asterik with my rating as this body has churned out 3 little hellions over the past decade? :D

Uh, I do it all the time! I don't wake up usually until about 9-10, get me & baby fed & dressed, at the gym until 12-1, then I have an hour or two to kill before baby's nap time. I usually justify staying in my workout clothes by staying active; either load baby up in the bike seat and take everyone down to the park, or I…

I have a BRUTALLY honest diary that is chock-full with every bite taken for the past 90 days when I started. Maybe not food-scale quality accurate, but measuring cup/spoon & 3oz meat = deck of cards, etc. accurate. In the past week or two I screwed up, had too many cals leftover at night and got a Blizzard, binge drank 7…

1.) Wash hands thoroughly and ensure your index & middle fingernails are like, lesbian short. 2.) Squat all the way down so your cervix is easier to reach. 3.) Use lube if necessary, insert and feel for the strings. a.) if you can feel the hard bottom of the actual IUD, this is bad. Far less likely though without kids. b.)…

Yeah, calipers gives me 19.8%, the measuring tape test found here http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html#accurate gives me 22% and my Tanita BI electronic scale gives me a whopping 34%!

Knowing my body fat % definitely helped me readjust my goal weight. If you look at my stats in my signature, of the first 6lbs I lost scale-wise, I actually lost 11lbs fat and gained 5lbs lean weight. My original goal was 138, now I've revised it to 142-145ish. I prefer the fat to come off first of course, but I only have…

I agree, but kind of for a more sinister reason. I believe that the more government or medical intervention we have as a society the less "survival of the fittest" is able to go on. Why mess with something that's designed to weed out the weak? Re-education is the way to go on this one.

Didn't mean to offend. The link isn't to some sort of opinion article, it's Scientific American's summary of an actual study done on the subject. As for heavier periods, etc. Mine were heavy the first 4 months, but more primarily due to being post-partum (put in at 8wk OB follow-up checkup in Feb 2005 & again in May 2010)…

Insertion is a breeze, just follow previous poster's advice. I do have to question why you are going with Mirena, ESPECIALLY as you are nulliparous. Mirena has been facing class-action lawsuits for causing "secondary infertility" in even women who were able to have children successfully before. Paraguard has been around…

<3 Mayhem's fan page!!!

HRM users consistently report about 10 calories burned per minute. I get 12 due to Adderal though.

I was a size 12 at my starting stats in my signature. Currently a size 10.

It's been my experience that when the girlfriends step in like that, it's usually because they know something you don't (like, oh... she's in a relationship with a more than decent guy who is probably a better catch than you and she's just having an insecure moment) or they picked up something vibe-wise from the guy that…

Ok, ok *hands up* I'm SO late posting these, but they were taken on the 5th. Just got really busy with home improvements. June turned out to be one ginormous plateau for me, I'm only down 1lb, so I think any "differences" can be chalked up to lighting mostly (like where I'm standing in relation to the light coming in…
