Pre-WLS party/shower
OK. Please tell me if this is a stupid idea, but I was wondering if anyone has ever had a WLS shower i.e. like a baby shower but instead of celebrating a new baby it is celebrating a new life? I am having my op in May and was thinking about all the great gym clothes I will be able to get into and show off and if my friends…

Exercise in the weeks immediately after op..
Hi everyone, I am having an RnY op next month and am worried about losing my fitness. Basically I have gone from being so disabled by being sedentary that I could walk to the end of the block to building up to where I am now- going for a couple mile walk (power walking) a few times a week, swimming, aqua aerobics, zumba…

Struggling with pain issues and alcohol *No JUDGEMENT*
Hi everyone, I have come to the realization that I am an alcoholic. I keep trying to quit and keep failing. This last time I managed three and a half days without a drop but caved last night and had 6 x 500 ml tall cans of budweiser. 1) I became an alcoholic because of pain issues, I have back problems, sciatica and…

naturists - Get nude - be happy!
I know there are alot of mixed feelings out there about naturism and getting nude, but I've found the experience of a naturist holiday does amazing things for self confidence!!!

Anyone ever have their nostalgic memories shattered?
The other day I was searching for random people I knew in high school some 15 years ago and came across my biggest high school love, we went out for about 2 1/2 years and in the end I broke it off pretty badly just before turning 18 and finishing school.. he hadnt been as attentive for a while and I was suspicious. Turned…

Oh God... Have I blown it?!!
Ok, I've been low carb for years with short breaks inbetween where I up my carb intake to a more 'normal' level. I am now on my last leg of the weight loss journey and want to lose about 25 more lbs, so I've thrown myself back into ketosis just over a week ago and have rigidly been keeping my carb intake to about 18-20 per…

Linseed/Flaxseed users
Hi, I am guessing if you are reading this you use Linseed/Flaxseed as a suppliment - I have never used Linseed before, has anyone had any problems with its use/adverse reactions etc? My husband has problems with constipation as he just cant seem to manage drinking enough water (despite my nagging) and so feels…

Mind over matter? Is hypnotherapy the answer?
I really love the sport of running, always have, but up until my early 20's I had a heart condition which prevented me from running. Ive since recovered/grown out of my heart condition, got the all clear from my cardiologist a few years ago, and really want to get into running and always try to mix it in on my long…

My new scale is mean :(
My old electronic scale was behaving odd, bringing up errors etc despite trying new batteries... so I bought a new scale, same make but a different model, one that is meant to be the most accurate they make, but then when I weighed myself the next morning (as usual) my new scale gave me a shock - I am 6.5 lbs heavier than…
