    too much fiber?

    Thank you for all the advice and tips so far. I don't think lack of fluids is my problem. I don't know how I could drink any more water without floating away. I drank hot water all day yesterday and that didn't seem to do the trick. I have been taking flaxseed oil capsules so I think I'm...

    too much fiber?

    According to sparkpeople.com, I regularly consume over 34 grams of fiber a day. The FDA recommends 20-25 grams per day. I do not take any fiber supplements, but I do eat really clean. I have been eating like this for over a year so one would think my body would have adjusted by now! I have...

    Chloe won!!! (Project Runway)

    I also was a bit surprised by Chloe's win. However, I think her business experience might have been what helped her win. Although he turned down the Banana Republic internship to work on his own collection, last year's winner, Jay, hasn't put out a collection since his win. Maybe they wanted...

    RE: Kathryn, a puncture wound story for ya Kathryn - OUCH! I hope you recover quickly! I feel your pain. When I was in grade school I sat on my bookbag and a pencil lodged into my calf. I pulled the pencil out but there was still a huge piece of lead in my leg that the doctor had to...

    Are you a fitness snob?

    I do not intend to blast anyone with my comments, but I felt as though I had to respond. Sometimes it is not that easy just to get off your butt and lose weight. There are so many factors that affect one's weight. Earlier posters mentioned many, including genetics, personal issues that affect...

    For contact lense wearers....

    I have had to wear contacts for the past 5 years and almost every time I go in I have to get a lower prescription. Like Amy, my doctor said reading a lot may be why my eye sight continues to improve (and like Amy, I am in law school which means all I do is read.) I wear Purevision lenses...

    What color shoes with a yellow dress?

    Another member of the no white club, here. I hate white shoes and think they stand out - and not in a good way. I agree with ladies above me who suggested gold and strappy or a nude shoe. Jessica

    (St. Louis) Cheesecake Factory was a lot of fun! (Thanks, girls!) :)

    I'm so bummed I missed it. My brother called me last night and told me they were moving his daughter's birthday party to Saturday so unfortunately I had to miss lunch. We definitely have to meet up again! I can't wait to see pictures! Jessica
