  • Try Enell. It's a bit of a squash, but it's the best high impact bra I've tried. http://www.enell.com/ I haven't tried that exact Chantelle bra, but I've had a Chantelle sports bra in the past, it was a medium impact, I'd say. Though that being said, I'm currently a 36G so experiences may vary.
  • Studying environmental science/biology and my husband is an astronomy professor. I love sci-fi, fantasy, british tv and Neil DeGrasse Tyson. I'm game!
  • There's a lot of genetic abnormalities in my family...so my sister and I made a pact when we were younger to not have children. She's 35 and I'm 31. I love the children in my family to death, but I'm happy without kids of my own. It's a choice for everyone. Let's not assume everyone wants them. Those that have them, should…
  • That answers the question "what would jesus listen to?" LOL. I always thought he had rocker hair.
  • 4 years ago I joined my husband's fantasy football league (they needed even numbers)--for the past two years I've won the league. I wonder if it burns? Quite often loudly. LOL I'm commish this year.
  • Want one? Ready...put your feet together, keep your legs straight and bend over. It will achieve the desired results, have someone take your picture from behind, slightly below waist height with as little clothing on as possible. I'm sure there's any number of skeezy dudes on MFP willing to help with that. Honestly, most…
  • Hmm...this hasn't happened to me. It sounds to me like a loose strap. Can you tighten it up? Otherwise, I know Polar makes sports bras with built in transmitters--if it's that your bra is causing the strap to rub. Or possibly an application of baby powder, if sweat is the issue.
  • I LOVE the DDP Yoga workout right now. DDP might be an old carnie, but he's a REALLY NICE old carnie. It's very gradual strength and flexibility workout. I'm doing it with my husband, who has some medical issues that have kept him from working out. It's great for both of us. I'm sure you've see the video about it:…
  • For some reason, honestly, any guy who has the--implied nudity hip to neck shot of the six pack and pecks...with no face in the picture...yeah, Anthony Weiner, I can listen to anything your creeper fingers type. Yup...sorry.
  • I'd have asked the girls, "funny I was just wondering how you could survive being such vapid c***s? I mean how do you even tie your gym shoes everyday?!" Naw, but seriously..."why would you say something so hurtful to someone who is trying to improve themselves? What is it about my working out that makes you so insecure…
  • Veggie food porn you say?! Why thank you.
  • I think some people might have thought I was talking about my Mom here. Nope. My sister is a compulsive liar. She actually has admitted before that she lies to make her life/conversations more interesting. A while ago she told everyone who asked how I was that "I was so lonely where I was living, that I was knocking on…
  • Well, to return to the original question. Constipation could be part of it too. Water and constipation can do a lot of damage. Maybe when you feel a craving you can have a salad or some carrots or something. That will up your fiber and keep your calories low. Drink lots of water--that will help with both the constipation…
  • Yes. When I was at where you are at now (high "normal" BMI). A LOT of my friends and family would say, "you look great, you don't need to lose anymore!" Right... My sister was the worst, she keep acting like I had an eating disorder (I was on weight watchers and was following the plan). When I would take my mom for walks…
  • But, Binary, our mass would be the same. I have mixed feelings. Where as, that would be awesome and people *should* do this, I'm a little too chicken to say I'm the one for the job. I'd rather figure out how to create ways for the food to be grown for the colonists or some sort of the tech side of it. Besides, my husband…
  • Truth. Some of us might have issued because we were being told to "suck it up" all the time--literally or figuratively. A lot of us self medicate with food, without realizing it. Sometimes we don't want to feel alone in our journey. Sorry to "brine" your curve. You and your pissy friends can go off in a self-congratulatory…
  • "brining" down, eh? Are you giving a class on pickling? Let me get my pencil...
  • If this were true, MFP wouldn't exist. LOL Certain Pizzas, Ben and Jerry's, Coldstone ice cream sundaes, deep fried felafel balls, dutch babies, elephant ears, mocha cocoanut cappuccinos, pretzels, any type of curry...etc...
  • May I just say, AMAZING. Well done to you! You're totally right, it's not about "one bad day" spoiling everything, it's about adding up the good days and going forward--learning to love yourself and how to best take care. You are an inspiration. For the Americans here, she's lost about 150lbs so far. A whole person! Keep…
  • You bet! I'm a vegetarian (my whole life). Worthington, Loma Linda, Morningstar, Yves, Tofurky, Edamame, Tofu--bring it on! Then again if you're worried about soy for whatever reason, there's always Seitan or TVP. If you don't "like" tofu, get extra firm, put it in the freezer for a day, defrost, drain and add a good soy…
  • a bra's support should ALL come from THE BAND. That's why we get stuck with wide bands--more tissue=more support. Make sure you're being sized right. For us larger busted ladies, the band should be as tight as is comfortable (I'm not sure this really exists--tight bands and comfort). The size should not be based off the…
  • No. 1 is see a doctor. But...a few days ago I was feeling nauseated and neck achey etc and it turned out I was having a SERIOUS case of nerves. I didn't even quite realize how badly stressed I was until my husband started talking to me about it. I broke down in tears. The good news is I don't have a migraine or feel sick…
  • Please site your sources.
  • Oh...silly OP! You forgot your filter again didn't you? I AM married and don't want kids. (So many reasons, all mine) I kind of agree with you, but I wouldn't start a post about it. That would be like going and starting a thread about "why religion...?" They can have there big families...the earth *obviously* needs more…
  • Well aside from Trolling...just in case other people search for this; I called Polar today, told them what happened and they are sending me a new watch band for free. :D
  • Vanity sizing has really escalated in the past few years. I have one pair of jeans in my house from my freshman year in HS. They are Calvin Klein "size 10." These are 15 year old jeans. Last time I lost weigh, they finally fit again when I got to a GAP/Eddie Bauer size 6. Right now, I weigh 163 lbs, 5'3", bust 40, waist…
  • Are you on the pill? I have Policystic Overies and used to spend the first few days before my period crushingly depressed, constipated and exhausted, followed by heavy flow, that would wake me in pain, I would spend the first day moaning to myself quietly in a ball. Not everyone with PCOS has these symptoms, and I'm not…
  • High Humidity, Cold Air, days where the air is stagnant and I'm in an area with highly polluted air (downtown Chicago comes to mind) and cat boxes. Except for the pollution and the cat boxes, I really have to be jogging or running to set off my lungs--I can walk just about anywhere in the humidity or cold, but when the…
  • I'm a "crazy rabbit lady." My husband and I have 2 rabbits--they don't sleep in our bed, but they do live inside our house, are potty trained, know tricks (8 at last count) and have free run of my "office" during the day. They also have their own facebook page. LOL. They are the best.
