    yeah... I figured i'd give the post a shot. see if anyone else was familiar with it. The thing that makes me so mad is that i DO honestly eat well and exercise. I watch my calorie intake, fat intake, carb intake, sugar intake... Eat lots of protein and fiber (which my dr said will help). so frustrating!!!!

    I'm going to see my doctor next thursday. I'll have to ask her about the liquid version. All I want to do is lose weight. I'm trying so hard

    The odor is AWFUL. It smells like my python's excrements (sorry, gross).

    I've never seen that website. I'm checking it out now. Thank you.

    It didn't ever occur to me to crush it. I'll have to try that since it's not XR.

    Hey everyone. Last year, the doctor diagnosed me with PCOS and recently, I went on the medication Glucophage (generic is metformin). It's supposed to help me with weight control, but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. And here's my question. It's gross, but are you supposed to digest the whole pill? The entire thing comes out whole. To me, it doesn't sound normal. Another question. What do you do to help maintain your weight? I eat a well-balanced, healthy diet (no fried food, refined sugars, etc.) and get a fair amount of excersize in but I'm so much heavier than I was a few years ago before this disorder became really full-blown. Advice of any kind would be VERY much appreciated.

    I've been on Yasmin for about 3 years and I have gained SO much weight, it's been terrible. In addition to the BC I also have PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) which also makes it very hard to keep the weight off. Like 'miserableme', my boob size went from 34D to 34DDD. Someone needs to come up with something to help with that. Doctors SAY birthcontrol won't make you gain weight, but that's a bunch of bull.

    The whole phone thing makes things a little difficult, but it's not necessary. Some people, myself included, are more apt to start fights on the phone as opposed to in person or texting. I'm not entirely sure why. It definitely wouldn't hurt to meet him though, just to see how things go. I tend to jump the gun on things and overevaluate before a situation even happens. Just play it by ear. Meet him and go from there. Who knows, maybe you two will be completely wrong for each other. But, on the other hand, you could have an excellent relationship. It's too hard to say.

    I cant BELIEVE how young these kids are who are already expirimenting with various illegal substances. I live in a small, affluent community with genuinely good people but here are FIFTH graders smoking pot! By 8th grade, some are doing coke. It's unbelievable to me. I didn't even know what pot was in 8th grade. I don't know what I'm going to do when I have my own kids someday. Im going to be a wreck. I know what havoc I caused on my parents. With that generation, who knows what things will be like...

    That's really hard. I grew up in a very loving family, my parents still married and relatively well off. But, as much as they opposed, I still expirimented with drugs (I haven't done anything in years now). I don't think there's really any one thing you can do to keep your kid from NEVER trying anything. In today's world, it almost seems like a part of growing up. Even the smartest, well-rounded kids at the highschool I went to expirimented. Just be very open with your child, expressing you understand the peer pressure, but drugs are not the solution to popularity. That's such a tough call....

    Definitely agree with you on that one. Mothers just have a way of knowing and as much as i HATE to admit it, 99% of the time (with everything), she's been right. As sweet as this guy may be, her mother may see things that her daughter can't. And I see that you're 14 and I assume your friend is around the same age. She's still young. There's a lot more to look forward to in life. Many more "fish in the sea". Best of luck to her.

    Well, I'm in the exact same situation, except for the fact that I'm 19. I met my boyfriend online and we talked for months before finally meeting. To date, we've been together for 6 months. He lives about 2 hours away. It's not easy, but it CAN work. The fact that you're still underage makes things more difficult. Do your parents know about your situation? Do you have a car? Is he willing to visit you as often as you make the effort to see him? Ben and I make it work by talking on the phone every night, IMing during the day when we can and seeing each other every week or two. Realize, though, that it DOES get expensive with the gas and whatnot. Since you've met his friend, and you can trust him, there is, in my opinion, nothing wrong with meeting this boy. Is he the same age as you? Much older? I recommend meeting him possibly with one of your girlfriends, just to be on the safe side. And please, let your parents know what's going on. But to be blunt, yes it can work, but it takes a LOT of effort on BOTH parts. Good luck to you.

    Whatever you do, don't bring a child into this world to get back at your parents. You'll only wind up with hatred toward the baby later on.

    Do you have any reason to believe she's cheating on you? I know that when I cheated on my ex-boyfriend (i feel so so so unbelievably bad now), that is exactly how i acted. I would recoil at the slightest touch and when he wanted to have sex, i would get mad at him for wanting it too much. We would actually go months without doing anything. Another possibility: is she on anti-depressants? Certain medications (Zoloft, Effexor, Lexapro, Prozac) can pretty much eliminate the sex drive. Same goes for certain types of birthcontrol and countless other meds. You can go to different websites (I use ePocrates) and they will tell you side effects of different medications. I hope this helps a bit.

    I'm 19 and he's almost 28. We don't even notice it. He's mature, successful, respectful... i think those traits are really hard to find among college boys. I went to Michigan State last year as a freshman and I couldn't believe how rude and inconsiderate they were as a whole.

    I am so sorry about your cat. I am a huge animal lover and it took me years to recover from the death of my first cat, a sealpoint siamese named Brandy. Brandy also had kidney failure. She was diagnosed with it around the age of 7 or 8 and lived to be almost 15. With the help of the Science Diet KD and loving care, she had a great quality of life. I hope this reassures you a little about your kitty's well-being.

    I know EXACTLY what you're going through. Last year, I started my freshman year at Michigan State and my experience couldn't have been any worse. They put me in a dorm with 3 sophomores who were best friends and hated the fact that they had another person with them, and I'm shy so I didn't meet anyone. I have never been as depressed as I was then. It got to the point where I would just sit in my dorm room all day and night. I wouldn't go to class, I wouldnt go to the caf to eat. Everytime I met a guy who I thought had serious potential, it would turn out that he was just another * * * * * * * frat boy who just was in it for the chase. I wound up dropping out. Come next semester, Im going to try my luck at Grand Valley, where I KNOW i have at least one true friend. I don't know what to tell you, honestly. Just know that you're not alone in this issue. It hurts really bad, I know that. If you just want someone to talk to, email removed is my MSN and JenniferGrace110 is my AIM
