  1. I have nectar Fuzzy Naval and have heard nothing about wonderful things about it but I tried it and it was gross! Any suggestions? I put 4 oz of Water into a shaker bottle, put in half a scoop of the Protein Powder, shook it up a few times and took a sip. To start with, the powder wasn't dissolved all the way and there were chunks, it was GROSS. Cloudy and not like fruit juice at all, I tasted the whey and I could only stomach one sip. Are there any tricks? Maybe mixing it with milk or blending it in a blender with ice? Help! I want to like it so much but as of now I can't handle it.
  2. I just added you as a friend, for future reference you go to their profile and towards the top right there is a button that says Add Friend
  3. Haha! I've heard of that side affect for guys...lucky. Our boobs don't magically grow or get super perky...I've heard that they deflate :0 Ftomivec, I'm sure you aren't boring! Maybe you should talk to your wife about it and see if there is a reason she's not as interested...if there is it may be something you can work through. Sex is a very healthy part of relationships and without it there can be a lot of problems! Good luck! Girls are tricky creatures.
  4. Yeah, the one I have is CVS's own brand so is generic. You should be good!
  5. You can also lie and get away with having a thyroid problem that your now on medication for. Those make you drop pounds like CRAZY.
  6. Yes, it's not often that you guys get to pry into our girl talk...now you know what you are missing I personally didn't get any pm's but I've made it clear that I have a pretty stellar boyfriend so that is a deterrent to any nice guys and of course you are all super nice and innocent (NOT!) well maybe you guys here on the forum but not guys in general. Sorry, but there are only a few good ones out there!
  7. Haha I'm pretty sure I'm just weird though...most girls don't like it. And, I mean like I'm not going to drink it but it's not this terrible evil thing that everyone makes it out to be and like we have pointed out it is legitimately good for you.
  8. The celebrate stuff is from: www.celebratevitamins.com and the biotin is from www.vitacost.com
  9. I come bearing solutions My Vitamins taste like candy, there is no weird after taste and they go down super smooth. Celebrate Multivitamin in Grape, Mandarin Orange, and pineapple Strawberry: they taste like Flinstones but are MUCH MUCH better for you. Celebrate Iron+C Grape: very good for being Iron, I took a sip of Water afterwards then had a pleasant grape taste..went down easy. Celebrate Calcium Plus 500 Cherry Tart: These literately taste like cherry sweet tarts...I even pucker my mouth up...yum! I also take Biotin and I have Nature's Way Biotin 1000mg 100 lozenges, they are yummy! I could easily eat a bunch of those...not terrible but a slight after taste. All of my vitamins are reasonably priced as well. Good luck!
  10. No problem! If you ever need any research done I can handle it I was not satisfied with there being "no" liquid tylenol for adults. I finally found it at CVS and it's even yummy.
  11. I agree, it's kind of a part of oral...it's awkward not to do it and it's really not that bad as long as the guy is clean and healthy. They do all kinds of stuff for us sexually so I think we owe them. Plus, I love making him happy...it's the best part and it's kind of like winning. You conquered it and it gave you a present
  12. YES! We do both...our boyfriends will be happy!
  13. No, but you see CVS carries their own brand of adult extra strength liquid tylenol. I can find ANYTHING
  14. Okay, so this is the consensus. 1 tsp of ejaculate is: 150mg of Protein 11mg of carbs 6mg of fat 7% Potassium 3% Copper and Zinc More Vitamin C than an orange
  15. Matt is currently trying to calculate the amount of Protein it contains per teaspoon
  16. Teehee, yes well I mean I'm not sure I'm comfortable rubbing that on my skin...however if you think it'll make the stretch marks go away then I suppose I could have a talk with my boyfriend
  17. Yep, get that! My surgery is next Wednesday at Des Peres Hospital in St. Louis
  18. I also ride, but I ride english and do hunter/jumpers. What I'm looking forward to is placing higher than those skinny girls without skill. It's so political, you won't win unless you look pretty and I can't wait to see the look on those girl's faces when I beat them which I will because I can actually ride versus pay for $100,000 horses and look pretty. So excited!
  19. Well, they are all different quantities. The Jello and waters that I spent $50 on I consider grocery expenses and will only be the first few weeks The chicken broth supplies that I spent $25 on will only last for the first few weeks but again, grocery costs The Protein powders will last me the 6 weeks I need to be on protein supplements The Multivitamins will last me 3 months The Iron and Calcium will only last a month. The b12 and the Biotin will last 2 months. The hair care will last 6 months The gas-x strips and biotene mouth spray along with the tylenol are only for the first few weeks but are really necessities that you should buy! I think that covers it, my monthly expenses are on Vitamins which run roughly $70 a month then when I need to re-purchase hair care it'll be the same cost for another 6 months.
  20. Ooh, I have a whole post on it.

You most likely won't need that much! I'm also EXTREMELY paranoid about hair loss so there is that big extra expense in there for preventative hair loss treatment from Bosley.
  21. Mine literately taste like candy. I have: Celebrate Multivitamin in Grape, strawberry pineapple, and Mandarin Orange...taste like flinstone Vitamins without any weird powdery after taste. Celebrate Calcium + 500 Cherry Tart which literately taste like a cherry sweet tart...YUM! Celebrate Iron+C 30mg Grape, again pretty yummy with little to no aftertaste. I took a sip of Water after it and had a pleasant grape taste in my mouth For the bi-lingual B-12 mine are just tiny so they dissolve in seconds. I got them from Trader Joes for like $6 I got Nature's Way Biotin 100mg lozenges and I actually had to debate with myself how many I could eat before I'd od on Biotin They are all pretty good and in my opinion affordable.
  22. I know, it's possible. Can we count it as protein? I've heard it's good for your hair maybe it'll stop the thinning!
  23. My doctor told me to bring them to the hospital. Mine are yummy though so I'm hoping I won't have any issues.
  24. Lol, my boyfriend is spoiled. I already have a pretty darn high flexibility level and my rule is I'm willing to try (most) anything once. I cheered and did gymnastics my entire life well until I was too heavy to do it, I fold all the way in half and can comfortably sit in the middle splits and can easily tuck my feet behind my head. I'm not as flexible nor as balanced as I used to be but I'm not bad for being heavy. That's one thing I've been working with my personal trainer to get back.
  25. Haha. It is actually hard to shop in the middle of young and mature. I'd try the Macy's Misses section and see how you do. Kinda depends on your style too...if you like expensive looking things I'd also try discount department stores. If you can find a good specialty thrift store you may have luck. I know we have one here that is half teen designer and half misses designers and I find STELLAR deals there. You just have to find your perfect store. For me it's Plato's Closet but that would be less appropriate for you unless you have a young spirit. My mom shops there with me and we trade clothes but she pulls it off because of her personality. People guess her to be way younger than she is. She wears skinny jeans and uggs at 50...gotta love it! My mom just rocks though, you have to find clothes to match your personality.
