That's such a great accomplishment! Thanks for letting us share your anniversary! Congratulations, Allison

Thanks -- we'll take a look at VS! (I can't believe how expensive some suits are!)

Thanks for the good ideas, everyone -- I will check them out! Gisela, I think you feel "our" pain! Your advice to try on lots of suits is good...you never know what might turn out to be the right one. I wish I could give her a huge dose of body confidence, because she's beautiful! (Spoken...

Hello all! I'm wondering if anyone has any advice to help with my search for a bathing suit for my almost 16-year-old daughter. She's about 5' 6", wears a size 2-4, and has a very small chest -- not quite an A cup. So our trouble spot is her bust, and we're looking for "enhancing" details --...

I'm so, so glad!!!! Allison

"The Nearness of You," played by a full big band! My husband is a musician, and one of the perks at the time was having "the band" play at our reception. It was lovely! Allison

I also had a successful laser experience, on my jawline and neck area. My initial treatment involved 6 sessions, each about 2 months apart, and I got almost 100% hair reduction in that time. Recently -- about a year after my last treatment -- I went back for a single session to try to zap the...

Janice!! It sounds like you found a FABULOUS job! Congratulations! I think I told you that I'll be on nights, too, after I orient on days for most of the summer...and I've never been a night person! So I'm a little nervous, and I'll be interested to hear what others have to say about...

A bit of personal experience that supports this idea: My younger brother, who happens to be adopted, is the only member of my family of origin who has not had to battle weight issues. The only time I really think about the fact that we're not biologically related is when I think about our...

Janice, Thanks for your good thoughts for me! I totally hear you, about starting at night. I'm not 100% convinced, but I'm so excited about the area that I decided I just have to give it a try. I agree that nights should be a good learning time, a little slower, more time to think...and...

Janice!! Congratulations!! I've been thinking about you, and was so glad to see your post! You know I understand just what your journey has been like! I did it too -- my graduation ceremony was on Saturday, and it was such a happy day! I'm starting my NCLEX study...it's the next big...

I'm on, and just because my young classmates "made" me create a profile (actually, two of them did it for me)! I'm the 41-year-old "mom" of my nursing school class -- most of my classmates are traditional college age -- and they thought I needed to be on Facebook. We're graduating tomorrow...

Best birthday wishes, Janie! I don't post too often, but I read a lot, and your posts are always uplifting! I hope you know that you are touching people you've never even "met" in important ways! Have a wonderful birthday, Allison

Very best birthday wishes, Nancy! I hope you had great shopping success!! Allison

Lisa, I agree that there may be enough need that you'd be able to negotiate working during the week only. You should definitely contact hospitals in your area to find out what kinds of schedules they offer their CNAs. I understand how you're feeling, at least a little. I'm graduating from...

Heather, How interesting that switching to evening workouts made such a difference for you. I bet you're glad to learn that, and now be back to your a.m. workouts. Best wishes for great success in March, and thanks for posting your monthly results -- I enjoy reading your stories! Allison

Kathryn, I'm also one who enjoys your informative and helpful posts...since I'm more of a lurker than a poster, we haven't interacted much. But I always appreciate your perspective and knowledge, and I hope that sharing your stories here will help you find some support. I'm so sorry about...

Tneah, You have my great admiration for finding the strength to turn your life around! The little bit of clinical work I've done with addictions and recovery during nursing school has taught me how very difficult it is to do what you've done. And I agree with your thoughts about celebs and...

I tried Vaniqa before I did the laser hair removal on my chin/neck, and I ended up with cystic acne in that area -- something about it was pore-clogging, at least for me. Allison

Anne, Just a quick reply to say another enthusiastic YES -- I did laser on my chin and the center of my neck, and it was some of the best money I have ever spent! I'd do it again in a heartbeat -- it has given me great freedom (I was obsessed with tweezing). Good luck if you choose to go...
