    cauliflower as mashed potatoes

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I tried this and thought it tasted awful. What's the secret?

    HELP! Afraid to switch bc pills-Yasmine

    I just started taking Yasmin. I asked my doctor if it was preferable to tri-cyclic pills and he said Yasmin is the one he prescribes the most. Didn't really answer my question, but that's a doctor for ya, I guess. It's too early to tell how I'll do on it... I'm in the first week... but I have...

    Yep, when it hits, it can hit ya hard. There are several other ladies on this forum that are going through a similar ordeal. You may have missed the earlier thread. I read two different books on premenopause. The first recommended OTC natural progesterone cream, the second recommended low...

    You're dieting, he's trying to gain!

    Hey Kathy, Hope he'll be interested in the program... there are a lot of amazing success stories. And if he does it, he'll only have one "free day" a week, so that'll help keep things peaceful at home! ;-) Angela

    You're dieting, he's trying to gain!

    Hey Kathy, Yes, I understand where you're coming from. My husband's diet is awful... nothing but junk all day long. Sweets, fast food, chips, pop corn... lotsa sugar and carbs. He even sits in his easy chair and eats while I'm working out. You may have seen my thread about the Girl Scout...

    Ever met anyone famous?

    Waited on Mr. T... he was rude and offensive. Accepted an award from Bill Clinton back when he was our skirt-chasin' governor. I'd trade 'em both in for a short glimpse of George Clooney!!!

    your laugh for the day

    "But I am a person who simply cannot be attracted to a fat man, and that is pretty non-negotiable. Friends fine, lovers, no way." I totally agree. It's fortunate for my husband that he is naturally very thin. He eats all kinds of junk. People kept saying it would eventually catch up with him...

    Hello Ectos!

    I agree! I still can't do pull ups unassisted! I've been working on negatives, but even those are tough for me.

    your laugh for the day

    I've complained on this forum before about how my husband never works out and, worse, sits in his recliner and *eats* while he watches me workout. Yesterday evening, I paused in my workout to get a drink of water. It was then that I noticed he was eating Girl Scout cookies while I'm sweating...

    what about bikini waxing?

    RE: You go Trevor! Yeah, I thought about asking the guys on an almost all male fitness forum I frequent, but I was afraid everyone would have the same opinion you just expressed. Thanks for giving us a male point of view, Trev.

    update from premenopause poster child

    Clare... I'm so glad to hear you've been able to get an appointment in April! I know you'll be counting the days. I may be way off base here, but since you mentioned chronic fatigue, muscle weakness, etc., have you considered a candida element? I can recommend an excellent book, if you...

    what about bikini waxing?

    Thanks, ladies... still undecided. I don't like the idea of having growth in between times. I can probably deal with the pain. The "redneck Riviera" is the gulf area... Mobile, Biloxi, Pensacola. Primo vacation spot for those of us in the southern central states.

    what about bikini waxing?

    I've been considering a bikini wax for an upcoming trip to the "redneck Riviera." Anyone have any advice or experiences you'd like to share? Don't think I'm ready for the brazilian approach! :o Angela

    RE: saw the doctor today Well, I know that horses can control the time they go into labor, but I've never heard of humans having mental control over their hormones... :D The only things I've heard are related to cycles of the moon and also that if you're living in a household with other...
