Thank you! All of you ladies here are just so wonderful! Thank you all so much for your kind and thoughtful responses. I knew this would be a "safe" place to come with this. I've had to deal with disclosing many times in my 21 year experience with hsv2 and for the most part, my partners have...

I read these forums every day but haven't posted for a long time. Ok, here's the embarrassing part, and I can't believe I'm posting this...I have genital herpes (have for 21 years) and was just rejected by my boyfriend (of 3 months) because of it. In 21 years, this is the worst experience I've...

Ugh - this drives me nuts. x( They're even having some sort of "Low Carb Summit" here in Denver this month. Keynote speakers are the couple who wrote the Protein Power book. From browsing the agenda it looks like it will be a gathering of people interested in making a buck from this country's...

Wow - from a 12 to a 2 or 4?!? That's excellent! You did all this by just doing Cathe or did you change your eating habits also? Can't wait to see your pics! Congrats on such a huge accomplishment!! Malissa :-)

Gosh, Wanda your excitement about your new adventure is contagious!! How do feel about the training materials that you received? Is the CAI course put together well? Is it structured? I mean, I know it is self-study but do they give you any guidance about how far you should get in the materials...

Thanks, Wanda! Sounds like you really considered all your options. I really do hope this goes very well for you! Definitely keep us all posted! :)

So Wanda, do tell please! What school did you decide on? I'm very interested in this thread because I've been considering the medical transcription field for a very long time now. Thanks! Malissa :7

It's funny...everytime I start thinking about something I come to these boards and someone has posted about it! Anyway, read "The Fat Fallacy" by Will Clower. It's main premise is that the French eat all sorts of butter and breads and cheeses and creams, etc. yet are, in general, healthier than...

Thanks, you guys! I'm going to go try it again right now. Hey Sherry, I did the same thing with MIS...couldn't even get the warm-up so I didn't even try the rest of the workout. So sad to be a klutz!:+

I tried Power Circuit yesterday and I was hopeless! For you fellow klutzes, how long did it take you to get it? (please tell me you finally did!) It looked like a great workout and I'd love to be able to do the whole thing without tripping over my 2 left feet. Can anybody offer me any...

Hi Lisa! I have a mini-dachshund, not a pug but I've always thought pugs were adorable. In fact, I just came from taking my cat to the vets and there was a woman there who brought in one of her pugs for observation because he had just pigged out on a bag of chocolate cookies and she was worried...

Well I'm really not sure where I'd work, actually. I'm going to one of the local community colleges tomorrow to talk to the woman in charge of their HIT program - they also offer the coding certificate. I'm going to ask her about job opportunities in the area (Denver) and pick her brain about...

Hi Lisa. From what I understand, once I have this HIM certificate I would go on to sit for the RHIA(?) exam. Not sure what I'd be doing then although this certificate prepares people for more of a mgmt. position, I think, although I believe the program still requires learning coding. I like the...

Hi Sara. One thing I definitely am is organized. I've been trying for the past year to find a career field that I would enjoy and where I'd be able to use my natural skills like organization and attention to detail. I've also taken the Myers-Briggs personality test and have come to the...

Lisa, yes I would expect to take a cut in pay but I'm at the point in my life where I realize that liking a job is more important than how much money it pays. Took me a long time to figure that one out! The one thing about this career field that I'm not sure about is the statistics. I mean...

Sara, thanks! That was very helpful information. I'm actually looking at a certificate program in Health Information Management. I already have a bachelor's and a master's in Computer Info Systems but I'm sick to death of my field (software development) and I thought this field might, as you...

Hi. I'm considering a career change to Health Information Management and was wondering if anyone works in this field and could tell me what it entails, how they like it, etc. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Nancy, Great info! I'm fascinated by any sort of nutrition talk. One question for you...what kind of credentials does your nutrition consultant have? I'm very interested in a career change and would love to study nutrition but have found various avenues and am not sure which would be most...

Angela, it sounds like a great way to develop the biceps. Ok, you've convinced me...I'm going to buy CTX. Which of the new workouts are you all going to get? I shy away from the step stuff because I'm a total klutz. If I want some cardio I just get on my treadmill. I'm only interested in...

Wow, Bobbi, that looks like a really grueling workout...5 miles and THEN S&H Legs??? You Ectochicks are machines! :-) You know, most people wouldn't call me overweight either but if only they saw me naked...the HORROR! I'm definitely a stick girl but I've got a couple (or more) layers of fat...
