okay, sounds boring, but when I was that age my friends (and now husband) used to stay up all night playing dominoes.  We had a huge set and it came with instructions on various different games we could play.  It was especially fun to play in teams.  So if you know another couple....  maybe you could convince them to try it.  Or maybe not.  Just a suggestion.

good luck.

Suede thinks Suede is cool.  Gosh, that is so annoying.  Some how he will end up staying around just because he is annoying. (I do know his name though, guess he has that working for him)

I agree I liked the black dress and the winner looked like something a barbie would wear.  I didn't understand why she won.  Maybe they didn't want to give the person with the black dress immunity, since she was in the bottom the week before?

I really like the way fiber one honey cluster cereal taste.  (although I haven't tried  the Kashi GoLean that everyone raves about)  I think fiber one taste like Kellogg's raisen bran, which i like.  I really needed to up my fiber and fiber one really helped with that.  I almost got kashi the other day, but noticed it did not have as much fiber as fiber one:(

Hi!  We are almost twins.  I am 37.  I am 5 foot 1 and a quarter. (every cm counts).  I was 150ish!  I started awhile back, so now I am down to 105ish.  Anyway, I have to kids, so I understand the snacking issues.  My downfall are cashews.  My son loves them. (and unfortunately so do I) 

As far as calorie counting.  It gets easier.  You just have to be diligent.  Soon you will know roughly about how many calories are in the foods you eat (after you have looked it up 30 or so times!  lol) 

First, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. 

Second, welcome to the site.  I have found it very useful and I know you can loose those last 30 pounds.   You have had a lot of obstacles in life and I admire your positive attitude.

Wow.  I am not even sure why I skimmed threw all that....

I only speak English.  However, I was six hours short of a minor in Spanish...  Unfortunately I haven't used it much and now have lost most of it.  I understand bits and pieces when I hear it. 

I agree that you should report the guy.  What he is doing is wrong, no it's, and's or but's.  I would make talk to his supervisor.  The EEOC (Equal Employment Oppurtuntiy Commission)  website may be helpful to you ( http://www.eeoc.gov/ ) .  Filing a charge with the EEOC would be a last resort.  First talk to the immediate supervisor and let them know what is going on.  Start documenting incidents.  Writing down dates, times and exactly what happened and who witnessed the incident.  If at all possible take that information with you when you speak to his supervisor. 

This may seem all overwhelming, and that is understandable.  You shouldn't have to walk away from the job, but no one would blame you if you did.  Well, I wouldn't pass judgement on you.

As for your husband.... I am divorced and now happily married to a wonderful guy.  Your husband is not being supportive for what ever reason and that sucks.  Have you tried marriage counseling to talk things out?  If he won't consider going, well, then perhaps you may really consider if you are in the kind of relationship you want to be in.

Good Luck. 

I have had the Mirena for about for about 3 years.  My memory is a little fuzzy on the details, but I do remember a lot of spotting in the beginning.  Now I don't remember the last time I spotted.   And I don't have periods either.   

If you are worried call your doctor.   Oh, I just noticed that the original post was July 3!  Hope everything turned out okay.

You may want to up your fiber intake slowly.  Too fast and it may do a number on you.  Make sure you are drinking enough water, to keep things moving. Also, I noticed someone recommended the fiber one bars... although delicious I have know numerous people that can't eat them.  (they can cause you to have flagellates at very inopportune times and frequent trips to the bathroom)  Personally they make my stomach cramp.  (just beware, maybe eat half and wait a few hours?)  I do love the fiber one honey clusters cereal.  That is what we have for breakfast every morning.  That is half of your fiber for the day!  Try high fiber bread, if you haven't already.  Some tortillas have a lot of fiber.  Popcorn, granola bars.   I don't eat too many fruits or veggies either, so that is how I get it.  Hope this helps.

Alright, at least you guys have given me a few laughs. (wow, I have no life)   I know things could be worse, but think I will extend the pity party until midnight anyway *sigh*

Okay, my pizza kind of sucked.  They screwed up the toppings.  Figures, huh? I wanted spicy Italian sausage and it was some regular hamburger.  Of course I picked it off and ate some anyway.  But to top it off, I just talked to my in-laws (whom I love dearly). They went to my favorite Japanese restaurant without me.

Any more bad birthday stories would really cheer me up.  (just so i know i am not alone, not that I enjoy other people's misfortune)

Fiber one cereal is great.  I find it fills me up and taste good also.  Bananas are good.  And a high fiber bread helps too. 

I was hungry at first, but after a few weeks it got better.  I would just snack on carrots or a few cashews.

I did eventually lose my baby weight!  (45 lbs!)  So it can be done, hang in there.

My B-day is Thurs.  I won't be counting calories that day, but I won't go over board.

Try cereal or a breakfast bar/granola bar in the morning.  Fiber one cereal is great and would be great for everyone in the family.  It would only take 10 minutes to eat a bowl of cereal and a breakfast bar you could eat as your walking to class (or whatever.)

If you don't have lunch, bring some snacks to eat in between classes.  I like to snack on cashews.  You need to eat something during the day.  Make a sandwich the night before if you have to. 

I am 5'2" and was 152ish.  Now I am 108, so it can be done.

Good luck.  And I agree with erica, if your parents aren't helping you out try talking to someone else you trust.

a_hall is right.

Don't beat your self up and talk to your doctor. 

I gained about 60 lbs with my first baby.  And 35 lbs with the second.  But now I have lost it all and have 2 gorgeous kids to show for it.

I too lied and said I was 140, but I was more like 145 (atleast) okay, probably 150.  Now I am down to 120.  I won't change it until it is time to renew.  Maybe that explains a few looks I have gotten from cashiers.   Hadn't thought about how different I look from my DL picture;)
