    Are Protein Shakes Necessary?

    Charlotte, I believe you. Your arms are showing it! I am planning on getting the Probolic SR, after seeing your arms. Perhaps it's all about bodytype and goals. Those of us interested in growing serious muscle and training for that purpose, may benefit of the extra protein. Specially ecto's.

    Experience with Wellbutrin/Bupropion?

    I have taken wellbutrin. I used to take it in the morning ONLY, the slow release. It didn't cause insomnia because I was taking a combo of meds, and at night I took Risperdal, which made me sleep. I can understand your insomia, though, because wellbutrin is very "thrilling". Tell your doctor...

    Crest Whitening Strips - OUCH!

    I haven't tried any whitening system, because I have always been scared of damaging or debilitating my teeth. I don't know why everyone is so obssessed with white teeth, anyway. I don't think teeth were intended to be pure white. Besides, I don't think anything topical, unless it is penetrating...

    Any of you suffer from the OPPOSSITE of anorexia?

    That is... Believing you look absolutely slim when you are totally overweight? I have suffered from that symptom, though I wasn't very overweight. I would have progressively lowered my standards if it wasn't for my "reality check jeans".

    Ok, tell me what you think about this. ..

    My husband didn't use his wedding ring for a long time, because it didn't fit him anymore. But finally, he had the ring enlarged and now he is using it. I use mine only when I go out. But if I am going to my mother's house or any informal place where I want to be physically comfortable, I...
