Pregnancy & Parenting	Getting Pregnant Woes	Oct 20 2009 18:54 (UTC)	16
Were you talking birth control pills before you started trying to concieve? If you were it can take about 6 months to ovulate again. Sometimes a full year. Relax and keep at it ;)
The Lounge	Gay Guys with Guns at Town Hall Meetings	Aug 18 2009 23:51 (UTC)	3
Original Post by hotfuss: Original Post by trustwomen: Sounds like a great gay porn setup: Some army-type bearish guy starts shouting up a town hall meeting, waving a gun, causing the broad-shouldered congressman to whip off his jacket, jump out from behind the podium, and wrestle him to the ground. Shirts are torn off in the process, and the grunts of their combat soon take on a different tone... The smooth-chinned young liberal finds himself kissing the stubbly, impassioned face of his foe... And "shoving healthcare reform up Americans' asses" suddenly takes on a much more literal meaning... (Sorry, hadda go there) fans herself oh my! Did it just get really warm in here, or is it just me?? Hahaha suddenly I'm excited about politics again! ;)
Fitness	Where does jogging end and running begin?	Aug 14 2009 19:00 (UTC)	24
Running. I think of jogging as 4.1-5.5... but who cares! That guy/girl at the gym is just an insecure idiot who wants to feel better about themselves by making you feel bad.
Weight Loss	Wondering if there was a Group for Brides trying to lose weight	Aug 13 2009 00:48 (UTC)	1
Congratulations! I'm getting married in May 2010 and would love to join a group like that too. Its hard to stay motivated especially with the added stress of planning.
Weight Loss	Attainable goal? Your input is greatly valued.	Aug 08 2009 23:48 (UTC)
Change up your workout routine. Over time your body gets used to the same workouts and burns less calories. Mix in lifting or some other type of exercise and see if that helps.
Pregnancy & Parenting	Paraguard IUD vs. Mirena IUS	Aug 06 2009 20:54 (UTC)	6
Original Post by roo_the_roo: I used the Paraguard for 3 years and had it out last July to start trying to conceive. I was pregnant within 3 months of having it removed. I had my baby 3 weeks ago and am going to get the Paraguard again in the future. I loved it. I didn't want to use anything hormonal because I haven't had the best experiences in the past. I remember health classes too from high school and they made the IUD seem like such a scary option but my midwife told me that they are the most widely used form of birth control worldwide. I had slightly heavier periods but no increased cramping. Ha I heard the same thing in health class and was terrified of IUDs, then I went on the pill and had the most horrific experiences ie hair loss, depression, and mood swings. It was at that moment I realized that it is far more unnatural to take artificial hormones than to have a little piece of copper.
Pregnancy & Parenting	Paraguard IUD vs. Mirena IUS	Aug 04 2009 20:11 (UTC)	13
Original Post by shannynegans: Original Post by smwhipple: There is a string that hangs down into the vagina I meant that he could feel this, it's a sharp metal wire. The Mirena isn't made of copper, it's a flexible plastic. I'm thinking about having it removed if I don't stop spotting soon. It's driving me insane. Go to your GYN asap! Nothing sharp or pokey should be hanging out. If there is that means your IUD is out of place and may not work properly!!
Weight Loss	Clean Eating Challenge!	Aug 04 2009 18:13 (UTC)	410
I would like to participate in this challenge too! I've been trying to eat cleanly most of the time (except weekends) and I think this challenge is exactly what I need! Can today be my start date? I've started the day off well. Thanks! About me: I'm 23 years old, 5'10", and weigh between 154.5 and 157.5. I'm having my measurements taken for my wedding dress in 2 weeks and am really stressed about it. When I get stressed I turn to unhealthy foods which is extremely unhelpful!
Weight Loss	Is anyone else sick of hearing about "starvation mode"?	Jul 31 2009 21:39 (UTC)	7
Not really but I am sick of people making the same posts over and over.
Motivation	What would YOU do?	Jul 30 2009 22:54 (UTC)	2
Why don't they just give up junk food and unhealthy eating? Or endure 4 hours a week at the gym. No need to go to jail or shave your head.
Young Calorie Counters	Isn't life funny sometimes? (A Post About Body Image)	Jul 29 2009 18:49 (UTC)	11
Original Post by wormyeyelid: Don't be so predjudiced. You don't know me, and you don't my boyfriend. So don't judge. Do you mean prejudiced? I know 2 very important things about him 1.) he is my age and is dating and having sex with a 15 year old girl. 2.) he "likes only skinny girls. The skinnier the better". Wow he sounds like real winner.
Motivation	Who has the "Perfect Body"?	Jul 29 2009 01:55 (UTC)	17
Original Post by darkylinky: Original Post by jaefuma: Original Post by inacio68: Original Post by jaefuma: http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/blog/2007/mar/ 29/size12isfat ^ A size 12 is not fat. That article shows a picture of a size 12 model. I know, what a cow (joking). It depends on how you're shaped. 12 doesn't equal fat. Hell, if someone's short, a size six can look chunky on them. Anyways, my perfect body canidate? Behka. She's a korean singer, so I'm sure no one knows her, but I think she has a wonderful body. She's "fat" by korean standards, but who isn't fat these days. :/ EDIT: More "fat" 12 size models. http://img3.ak.crunchyroll.com/i/spire2/e8bbf f109546686398d7be6ab1b441991237924700_full.jp g http://www.linksengineer.com/Admin/NewsImages /d3672809-2ff0-484f-bb11-c48366eca6ff.jpg I'm pretty sure all those women are size 12 UK, NOT US. That means they are size 8 here... I don't know about the first one (if she's UK or not), but the second one could be, but the last one is an american model. So she's most certainly a size 12. :) And not fat. Lol. The the only point I'm trying to make is that a size 12 doesn't always equal fat. :0 yeah the first one is def. uk, look in the web address. the bottom two are firstly airbrushed like crazy. the bottom one is the antm winner, go look at other pics of her, she's disgusting. in candid photos where she's not airbrushed you can see not only is she fat but she's untoned. if your going to be a plus size model at least have some tone. so yeah you've only proved my point that your "perfect bodies" are a size 8 max. Umm... your point is moot. All models are airbrushed and nearly all editorial photos are airbrushed. So these "perfect bodies" are not real. None of them... not the 00s or the 8s or even the 12s are real. You are thinking of every reason to bash on a size 12. Why?

Original Post by darkylinky: yeah, the sizes shown are UK sizes so -4 for the american equivilant. as for marilyn monroe being a size 16, it is actually estimated to be more of a 12, not to mention if you include vanity sizing over the years shes about a size 6-8 in todays american sizes. sorry if i burst ur bubble, marilyn was not fat and yes a size 12-16 is fat deal with it. A size 12 is not fat! What an ignorant thing to say! It's all relative to height, hip width, ect. I have some female volleyball friends who are very in shape and 6'2". Some of them wear a 12 but definitely are NOT fat. It's all relative deal with it.
Health & Support	laxatives?	Jul 24 2009 00:09 (UTC)	3
General rule: no laxatives unless it's an emergency. I don't think a crazy diet cleanse qualifies as an emergency.
Motivation	Am I getting ahead of myself?	Jul 23 2009 21:27 (UTC)
Hey tofu_monkey we have almost the same stats (23 years old, 5'10", weigh 155) and I know how you feel! Don't worry about inches and lbs gained in the first week or so of exercise. It is water retention due to your muscle swelling. Also, 1200 is way too low! I have tried to eat 1200 in the past but just end up binging because I'm basically starving. Try to eat at least 1500. That is still low but enough to keep me satisfied. We are tall and need more energy than the shorter girls. Hang in there!
Fitness	Why women don't want to lift big - one reason at least	Jul 22 2009 00:11 (UTC)	11
Original Post by sugarshocked: that's weird - I'm a little girl, but the guys at my gym are polite and always ask if i want to work in. Maybe because its my regular gym and I go in the AM when its not crowded so everyone (the regulars, at least) knows each other. Same thing happens to me but I am not little (5'10.5"). They are more polite to girls than other guys. It makse sence: the real (evolutionary) reason most males lift is to attract females and fend off rival males.
Weight Loss	Revenge Weight Loss?	Jul 21 2009 19:49 (UTC)	6
Sweet revenge. I was an athlete in college until I severely injured my back and gained weight. I overheard some of my guy and girlfriends talking about it. I shouldn't have let it bother me but it did. Stupid jerks! When I hit my goal weight I am planning a trip to visit them.
Weight Loss	Alli Weight Loss!	Jul 21 2009 19:15 (UTC)
It doesn't make sense to me either. If you have to eat a low fat diet when taking alli then why do you want to block more fat? Fat is good and necessary for survival. I added more fats and fish oil to my diet and my hair and nails have never been healthier. Plus, anal leakage? eww who wants to risk that!?
The Lounge	Virgin and Proud	Jul 16 2009 22:44 (UTC)	10
I can't understand why people want to wait until they are married to have sex. You need to take the car out for a ride before you buy it... make sure everything is working properly if you know what I mean. ha
The Lounge	Evolution or Creationism? Which do you believe, and why?	Jul 15 2009 23:54 (UTC)	136
Original Post by susiecue: Original Post by live4health: Why on earth would you want to believe you came from an animal? Because I did. And so did you. Humans are animals therefore your parents and my parents are both animals. Therefore, we both came from animals. There are lots of things that I do not want to believe that are nonetheless true. I do not want to believe that there are sexist and racist people out there, but there are. I do not want to believe that eating a pound of chocolate every day would make me fat, but it would. Wanting to believe something does not make it true, and not wanting to believe something does not make it false. ^Yay agreed! except for the thing about eating a pound of chocolate everyday ;)
The Lounge	Evolution or Creationism? Which do you believe, and why?	Jul 15 2009 23:32 (UTC)	139
I grew up catholic and I know all the stories and arguments ect. However, I am working on becoming a PhD in bioarchaeology and have had a lot of exposure to evolution (particularly human evolution). I've seen a good amount of the human fossil record and you can literally see humans evolve. I've also had the opportunity to study million year old hominid remains and there is no doubt in my mind that evolution exists and continues to happen. Evolution is amazing! Also, it really bothers me when people say "I didn't come from a monkey." Duh! You came from a common ancestor about 6 million years ago.

Not bad at all! I do the same thing. As long as you stay within your calorie limits you are fine. It doesn't matter when you eat... a calorie is a calorie at any time of day. Cool hair! :)

Original Post by carmenxox: Original Post by musicalfishmich: Original Post by carmenxox: you need to understand that first impressions are unavoidable, and sometimes very accurate... the way you look tells a lot about who you are (whether you 'care' or not) you wouldn't go to an important job interview in sweats, greasy hair, and a stained shirt would you? I sure hope not... and if you have, I bet you never got a call back. it's okay to be comfy and lazy every once in a while... hell I do it all the time, BUT I do it at home, or at the grocery store. You know somewhere that it doesn't matter so much what you look like... But I would never ever go to work dressed like a slob, or go over to someone's house looking like I just rolled in a mud pile. Not only does that show laziness and a lack of self respect, but it shows a lack of respect for the work place or for another person. If my boyfriend came over looking like crap on a daily basis, I would get the impression that he doesn't care enough about me to try and look good, or maybe I'm not important enough, that my opinion is irrelavant. if the real you is very laid back, then I would suggest that you don't get a 'fancy' job that requires a strict dress code if you can't keep up with appearances don't think that only personality matters.. self presentation is the first thing seen and first thing judged, you're personality will never be noticed if someone has no desire to talk to you based on how you present yourself harsh but true please people, practise proper hygiene.. it only takes minutes out of your day and will make all the difference ahh.. superficiality at its finest. what i love about humans most. yes, because regularly washing yourself is REALLY superficial I'm sorry I don't like the smell of BO and the feeling of greasy knotted hair there is nothing wrong with taking care of yourself go tell your cat or dog next time he's licking himself clean to stop being so stuck up and superficial Oh geez if this is true I wonder how I've survived all these years! When I go to work in the field I'm often covered in dirt and, depending on the location, do not have access to running water for weeks but I still get plenty of booty ;). I guess archaeologists are just special or maybe I look hot with dirty hippy hair!! Haha I often go to work in dirty cloths. P.S. I love long hair it's fun to play with but it's also hard to deal with!
Weight Loss	Is this a good weight goal?	Jul 08 2009 21:46 (UTC)	3
Honestly, no that is a bad idea. If you feel like you have a lot of fat you should work on changing your body composition. Add muscle and lose fat. Start lifting weights it will raise your metabolism. Also, eat more and add in more protein to your diet. I think i saw a post by you claiming that you eat very little. You should eat at least 2000 calories. You are tall and still developing. I have male friends that just stopped growing at 22.

ooh more replies, thanks! I like the PB and J idea and beef jerky, almonds, carrots bananas and apples. I think I'll stick with water and diet coke (for caffeine) to drink.
