You are correct. My apologies.

Sorry, for you guys that this has turned into a personal attack on me. But, I love the fact that this is just a forum for discussion. Makes no difference to me one way or the other. Never intended to offend anyone. "Scientific research" changes every day & is often flawed. So, it doesn't mean much to me. If I listened to scientific research & statistics, I wouldn't be alive today. So, forgive me for being skeptical. Have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Because they both have children. The youngest is 2. A total of 7 kids between them. No fertility issues there. No one has been tied or snipped either.

Misty, my opinion was based on my personal experience with Plan B which has a much higher dose of hormones than regular bc pills. If you & the article are referring ONLY to bc pills, I'd probably agree. But, I'm referring ONLY to Plan B. Please, don't take it personally or me too seriously. I said I think the article is bull. Not you! I still believe the article was an interesting piece. I just so happen to not agree with its weight limit.

The part about it being less effective in women weighing more than 165 lbs. Yes, I'm very familiar with Plan B in my line of work. I offer my advice to my friend as a professional & someone who knows her medical history. She suffers from HBP and Plan B only increases her risk for complications concerning her HBP. Plan B is not meant to be used as a long term form of bc (It does work for her although she weighs more than the 165 lbs mentioned in the article). Therefore, I reiterate, this research is bull.

This is bull. My friend, against her better judgment, frequently uses Plan B as her method of birth control considering she only sees her fiance once a month due to his job. She weighs approximately 260 lbs & is 5'3. I am trying to get her to try a different form of bc because I think it will adversely affect her in the long run, especially when she wants to have another child.

I can't find any cute shoes in my size. I wear a 10.5 wide...wide because of my fat feet. 1. Stuffing those fat feet into size 10 med. because they were just too cute & I can "make it work". Blisters! 2. Afraid to go to my kids' schools for anything because I don't want to embarrass them. 3. Being the fat friend at the party who sits at the table & holds everyone's purses. 4. Being oinked at in Walmart in front of my kids...yes, some guy actually oinked at me! (Jerk) 5. Wearing animal prints from plus size section that make me look exactly like that animal (cow, zebra, etc.) 6. Sweating...all of that very unattractive sweating. 7. Only one comfortable "romantic position" with the hubby. Either butt is too big for this or gut is too big for that. Also, knees hurting & out of breath if attempting to "ride the bull". 8. Being the fat sister & daughter. 9. Not being flirted at (I know I'm married but it just would feel kind of nice to know others find me attractive). 10. Being afraid to go places & travel.
