Right now I'm 141-143, 8/10 in pants and small/medium in shirts. I'd love to get to 6/8 in pants but I don't mind the shirt size I'm now (I don't wanna lose any more from my boobs! >_< ). |

Wow, it really seems that everybody here have such a nice shape (based on the sizes).. I'm 5'7.5" and in the low 140's (141-143) and size 8/10. I'm just such a pear shape - 27" waist with 40" hips :[ |

They put on your skin drops of allergens n scratch u with a needle a bit, really nothing painful or anything (I am afraid of needles as well n it didn't bother me at all ^_^). Here they do it on your arms, so u have to sit for half an hour without moving your hands, so it's pretty boring. |

Had the same problem. I went to a skin doctor who told me it's common to have allergic reaction to the perfume in the deodorant. Try getting a fragrance free one (without any perfume). Also, u shouldn't use deodorant on irritated skin, so try using aloe-vera to calm it down n then apply deodorant. |

Shampoos don't really thicken your hair, it's oils (unless u want to go n buy some brand that promises to thicken your hair). Just go to the phamacy n look for different oils - they usually state on the bottle that it stimulates hair growth. And Dove have a shampoo for damaged hair - doesn't help much, but the hair looks fuller and they promise to stop hairloss in a few weeks of usage. |

I'm 20 yo n I live in Israel so we get drafted when we are 18, right after high school n we get out in our twenties n only then begin university. If not for the crisis (as there are no work opportunities right now) maybe I could have gotten a job an a network administator and moved out, but it doesn't seem to happen. I do not feel comfortable living at home since it's like I'm mooching stuff out of my parents so I don't understand people who live with their parents from their free will. |

I can't get myself to weigh since my crohn is acting up n my stomach is all swollen. Plus, my scale is plain crazy. I will be going to a nutritionist on the 31st (to get some advice about eating habbits with the disease) so I'll know my weight then. My measurements r the same though :) so I'm pretty calm. |

| Motivation | Why Do People Try & Test You?? | Aug 02 2009 14:34 (UTC) |

YES! I've been working on losing weight for a year now and their behavior is getting old, but still.. Why when I wasn't watching what I eat we never had food at home and suddenly we always have cake, ice cream and other stuff..? Before I began my diet my father would always ask me "are you really eating that? should you?" and stuff and suddenly when I got on a diet (don't remember if I lost weight by then though) he began offering me stuff. And I KNOW they aren't sabotaging me cuz they do want what's best for me, but it's still weird. The weirdest is my mother trying to give me food to take with me when going to friends, so she can be sure I have something to eat. Do ignore them or try to explain they could sabotage your efforts by doing what they are doing. Congratz on the weight loss so far and good luck!! |

| Health & Support | How can I push out my period? | Jul 20 2009 18:45 (UTC) |

If u skip the sugar pills n start a new package without taking a break, u shouldn't get any period. At least that's what my gyno said. She also said that it's not recommended but once a year or something it will do no damage. But the best thing is ask ur doctor... |

Robert Heinlein is a great writer, I would recommend "have spacesuit-will travel" and "Waldo". Also "the stars my destination". The last 2 are a lot about determination and achievement, but the first one is my favorite. |

Well, manga+vampires= HELLSING! ^^ if u haven't read it then DO (or watch the series). Manga n Anime as well - my favorite is Fruits Basket. Comics of all kinds :)) I enjoy watching sad n depressing movies but only on my own, like I get irritated if someone else watches it with me. I guess I'm feeling weird cuz most people think these movies r boring :( I really really love old russian tales n myths. Got so excited when they appeared in the Hellboy series. Heh, n I like Backstreet Boys n Nsync >_> which is kinda weird to people cuz i do tend to strike as more rock\heavy metal type |

I find it easier to buy jeans that fit my hips and then I just pay additional 2-3$ to narrow the waist. I'm also a big fan of dresses, they fit me perfectly :) |

Have no idea how much I weigh, since I gained some water weight a while back and since then haven't got on a scale so it won't de-motivate me. I lost 4 cm from my waist though :) |

I have such a common name (Maria) but here it's so uncommon, I actually was teased when I was a kid. I live in Israel -_- how come MARIA is uncommon? :) Oh, and I've been sung to fir 3 years of highschool and 1.5 years of army service. My friends know me as Masha (Russian shortcut for Maria), which also annoying here since "what time is it" in hebrew sounds like Masha. AND I have a last name NOONE here can spell -_- |

Like belfish said, better cooked than raw to prevent the bloating. For me it only lasts to the morning after, so not that long. |

Don't get me started in this one -_- In our family the guys have this slim structure n the girls.. well, I'm lucky I got the height too at least. My brother eats whatever he wants n he also rarely hungry anyway. When he was in the army he lost 10 lbs just from depression, I on the other hand gained those 10. My father had to be begged to eat till he was 30 or so! BUT, the men in my family also tend to get serious diseases from eating rubbish - cholesterol, high blood pressure n such since nobody thinks they should get tested for this cuz they aren't fat.. So actually, while we have to struggle with our weight we gain health n understanding, while people who don't go through all this don't. |

I used to feel this way too.. But I also used to hate everybody else even more than myself, and people would see that and back off.. I usually don't care for other people now n less hate myself cuz I realised I have a problem n went to therapy. I was told I was worrying about too much n I should try to be a bit egoistic n ignore everybody else. Maybe u should try that as well - just tell urself that the sun comes up every day just for u.. I'm quite shy n insecure n being a bit egocentric just makes me like everybody else ;) .. |
