  1. I really don't think it will matter much with the first fill. They put very little in the first time. After that, it might be a problem.
  2. Yea, I do need to up the exercise. I have been quite lazy lately.
  3. I have never heard of that before.
  4. I don't understand how some have lost so much and others like me haven't.
  5. Plenty of women who have had an abortion don't regret it. Just because someone is prochoice doesn't mean that they've had an abortion. I don't personally think I could ever have one, but I can certainly understand why someone would have one. And if I were ever raped and needed to have one, or if my 12 year old daughter were raped and needed one, it is good to know the choice is there for us to make. It is no one else's business.
  6. But not everyone feels the same as you.
  7. I don't think most women who have abortions decide it easily. I think it is a very hard choice to make. There are many reasons why women have abortions. I don't think we have the right to judge unless we have been in their shoes.
  8. I only support second or third trimester abortions if the mother's life is in danger or if there is something wrong with the baby and it would suffer greatly if it were born. By the second trimester, a woman should know if she wants to abort or not. Abortion in my state is only legal up to 12 weeks. I knew one girl who had to go out of state to have an abortion because she was late into her second trimester. She was just lazy and kept putting it off. But she had like 5 abortions before, so I guess it was no big deal to her. I think that is so wrong. Abortion is also a lot more dangerous after the first trimester. I don't really see why a woman would need to have an abortion during the third trimester if her life was in danger. There are so many medical advances today. A lot of babies born very early in the third trimester live and do just fine. I have a friend who had twins early, like 8 weeks early, and they are normal 3 year olds now.
  9. That's a good idea about the prunes. I hadn't thought of that.
  10. I think a woman that is pregnant from rape should be able to make her own decision about continuing a pregnancy or not. It is really no one else's business. She should not be forced to carry a child of rape. For people against abortion in this case, I just wonder how they would feel if they themselves, or their wives or girlfriends, were to become pregnant by rape. None of us know how we would feel or what we would decide unless we were in that situation. I don't think it's fair to say it is wrong unless we know what it is like.
  11. You can buy boxes of Splenda (not in packs) and it measures just like sugar. I use about a cup for 3 quarts. It works really well.
  12. I would like to get below 200 too. The day that happens, I will really celebrate!!
  13. I just bought some Nioxin. A girl at work swears by it. I really hope it helps.
  14. My port is right in the middle of my chest, in between my breasts. I like it there. The big scar is hidden by my bra. And if I ever want to wear a bikini top, it will cover the scar as well. I haven't had any problems with underwire bras.
  15. Yes, I agree, it is very hard to get in all the water when you can't drink at meals. That has been my biggest problem.
  16. I think a BMI between 20 and 26 is considered normal anyway.
  17. I had my surgery in May too, and I have had the same problem. Nothing has seemed to help.
  18. I thought I looked pretty good at 150, and weighing that, my BMI would be in the healthy range. So that's why I chose it.
  19. My husband was worried about a lot of the things you are. But it is not bad. She will have to eat slow, so you will probably finish eating at the same time. It is no big deal once you get used to it.
  20. I didn't feel anything from the actual needle. But a few seconds later it felt like a really bad bee sting. But I had actually forgotten about it until now.
  21. It's nice to hear you are excited about turning 40! I freaked when I turned 30!
  22. Mine is falling out too. I asked the doctor about it today and he said it was not normal, but after reading a lot here, I'm not so sure. I am taking Biotin too, and it is not helping.
  23. Well, I feel the same as you so I guess I am arugmentative too. I feel very attacked for no reason.
  24. Very harsh. I will be sure and go buy that wig. :tt1:
