You know what sex gets you? Pregnant. Then you're in a WORLD of trouble with logging and food, and all that jazz. Yeah. At 36, you'd think I'd know how that happens and all.

I may be wrong on this, because it's been over 3 years now, that that was something I asked my husband's surgeon when he had gastric by-pass. Dr. K said (if I'm not mistaken) for every 100lbs a person loses, they have anywhere from 5 to 10lbs of excess skin, depending upon the person. So, right now, I've got about 10 to…

I take Phentermine right now, and it's honest to God one of the best things I've ever done, but like another poster, I started taking it to combat fatigue. It helped with that for about a month, then started to have the adverse affect. I suffer with a host of diagnosed mental illnesses, and this has been my saving grace. I…

In a person who's insulin levels are normal, it absolutely *could* cause hypoglycemia, I think that's why the OP was wanting to have a fasting glucose test repeated. Keeping a watch on her blood sugar levels with the glucometer is the best option right now until she an see a physician. I have been prescribed both,…

For me personally, I agree. For everyone else, I could give a rats *kitten* do what you want. I just can't stand the feeling of being hairy. I'm like you, I only want hair on my head, eyelashes, and eyebrows (I wish, but what few I have are so blonde you can barely see them). I was contorting myself to get everything…

Ok, has anyone tried one, yet? Does it actually *resemble* a s'more? Or does it look like a "regular" protein bar with the "s'more" flavor? Regardless, I wanna know how it tastes! It might be a good treat! Looks really yummy! I sure wouldn't mind having some if they're good for snacks!

Girl, that is like WAY over my head. ;) However, the possum, it closely resembles my "Chloe". I haven't been the same since she escaped about 18 years ago *sniffles*.

*The woman who lost 186lbs and only has a lapsed Insurance License from the state of TN, and proudly holds up mah diploma from Cosmetology School, slowly backs out of this train wreck, with her daughter in their little backwoods town somewhere in Appalachia* I just wanted to leave this snazzy possum here, just cause.

*is genuinely speechless*

I'm horribly torn. Of course, all of mine, come from the queen, Joan Holloway.

Ah, so THAT'S where the damn virus I keep getting is coming from! Yes!!! I get it several times a day. McAfee keeps removing it, and I'm having to do a virus scan, daily. So, it's coming from the forums. I'm glad to know at least this is where it's coming from!

Our Dancing Daughters (1928) is one of my absolute FAVORITE movies of all time. It's a silent film with Joan Crawford. I seriously couldn't tell you how many times I've watched this. LOVE it. Caligula (1979) I know this isn't exactly obscure, but it's definitely underrated. I absolutely adore Malcolm McDowell and Helen…

I'll be honest, this is a new one on me. Maybe it's the area I'm from, or the people I've known, but I can honestly say I've never hosted a party with and/or been to a party with illicit or prescription drugs. I've been partying since I was 16, and yeah, there has been enough alcohol to sink a battleship, cigarettes, and…

Formaldehyde is in regular cigarettes, along with God knows what else. I smoked menthol cigarettes for about 23 years. That's some of the worst cigarettes you can smoke. I'm not 100% sure exactly *what's* in the vapor, but I'm thinking it's got to be better than traditional cigarettes. I'm not going to say woo-hoo, they're…

Alright, I throwing my hat in here. This isn't going to be a bashing answer by any stretch of the imagination but a weigh things out carefully. I take 75mgs of Phentermine a day. I take one 37.5 pill when I wake up, and one late in the evening. WHY I take this, is what will blow your mind. I don't take them for weight…

I'm glad you posted this. I am actually really, really sad to see that Manuel Uribe lost his battle. I watched a couple of documentaries about him on Discovery. He had the best attitude and really wanted to lose weight and live. Bless his sweet heart. He had lost 447lbs when he died. I really wanted him to make it. He had…

Seriously. The Godfather Trilogy is like some of the best films ever made.

NOOOOOOOOOES!!!!! Desperately Seeking Susan is seriously like one of the GREATEST movies EVER!!!! I saw that movie the for the first time when I was 8 years old, and absolutely tortured my mom and her best friend with it for many, many years- watching it over, and over, and over again. To this day, I will STILL watch it…

I saw the batsignal and came.

Absolutely.

Every person is different, and unfortunately you won't know until you lose it. Everyone has given you excellent advice. Drinking water, LOTS of water is good! Also, take care of your skin. Moisturize. It doesn't have to be those expensive fad creams, either. I'm talking about regular body lotions, or even cocoa butter. In…

You are too sweet! :D OMG! For real! Seriously! FINALLY another human being that gets it! It's like torture listening to damn Robert Page whine non-stop! Honest to God. The man gets on my everlasting last nerve! There are about three Zeppelin songs that I would say I like/tolerate. Other than that, I would seriously be…

I was on steroids this month for a nasty *kitten* sinus/ear infection, then that gift that just keeps on giving showed up. I was like, damn, really? So, I was swollen like a big ol' bullfrog. I almost cried when I stepped on the scales. I was up like 3 or 4lbs. At the doctors office I was up 5lbs. I was like ready to give…

Crack. Some people smoke it.

Honestly, I get the OP's point, AND I get the "mean people's" point, too. Honestly, what it comes down to is a difference in communication and the way people interpret things. What one person is asking for and *needs* may been seen by another person in a completely different way. For instance- the OP may truly need someone…

Hi There! I'm so sorry that you have a recent diagnosis and your doctor didn't really discuss much with you! Unfortunately, PCOS is such a broad disorder, that it's just not a "one size fits all" thing. It's a complex endocrine disorder, and you will most likely never meet two women who's symptoms and treatments are…
-
You're right. I'm down about 184lbs. Now, I pretty much try to keep my carb intake to roughly, no more than 40 per meal (snacks included). That will even out for what I was supposed to have of six small meals a day, which, I've never been able to consume that much food in a day. I've never cut anything out of my diet.…

I'm 5'8, I weigh 216lbs, and I wear a bikini. I've got all kinds of skin hanging off of me. I simply don't care. If people don't like it, don't look at it. It's there. It's gonna be a couple of years before it gets cut off, and it's the easiest way to tan. Yes, I'm one of *those* people who still tan out in the sun.

I'm seriously having a hard time wrapping my head around this one? I'm really not being mean, I swear, but I think you're on the wrong thread.
