Rugbug- right with you doll..Like I said I spent 2 years eating less than 1500 calories each day and working out an hour and half with weights and cardio every day 6 days a week to lose my weight and now to keep it off I can only eat 1700-1800 calories and have to work out an hour a day 6 days a week to keep it off. I truly loathe my metabolism (own fault as I ate next to nothing for years as a dancer and it messed up my metabolism) I swear sometimes genetics SUCKS WIDE!

Rug - See I am equating the Serentiy tat I want to how I feel about my life - not as a firefly lover :) So its BONI!

I can run on a treadmill at 12% incline and not lose an ounce.

When they thought I was having a heartattack, they did a stress test and the doctor thinks I am a freak of nature-cardiovascularly I am about 20.

msg, gasket-flipping is bad. If you can, shiny, if not, we understand totally.

Exercise. I was never all into it. When I was younger I could eat my weight in junk food and never gain a pound. Unfortunately, it's catching up to me now. I am not obese at all, just developing the "barrel" shape of my predecessors. I have always been proud of the musculature of my legs, and try to keep them in shape by fighting, etc, but I am losing what little butt I had...not sure where it's going!

I agree. No names in ink. Bad idea, even if you think you'll be with that person the rest of your life.

After losing both of my parents and getting diagnosed with kidney disease in one 14 month period, I had the Chinese symbol for "Strength of Heart" put on my lower back. It's covered, it's for me, and I touch it when I need strength.

As for lawn care...I used to manage a laser hair removal spa, and from the numbers of women who paid $$$ to get brazillians...permanent brazillians, it would be my professional opinion that many, many men prefer the garden trimmed waaaay down. That, and my own man folk seems to like that as well.

So sorry about your parents and all hope you are well, but oooh mavoureen I have questions many questions...ok a few anyway
So is it really permanent? How badly does it hurt? and How many treatments for a permanent brazilian? I keep pondering the lazer thing, but want to be sure it's worth it!

ok...is exercise imponderable?....
i've always been an active person.... not a couch potato type.....
and i've done a lot of the things active type folks do... but a few years ago i pretty much focused on running, and that kept me in condition...then the dreaded plantar fasciitis got me... for those who've not heard of it - it's also known as heel spurs - and it affects the muscle on the bottom of the foot - (and it usually happens to older runners - insert me).... i had to stop running for a year and man, did i gain weight - i eventually got back on the mountain bike and knocked it down and i've been slowly getting back into running in the last year although i doubt that i'll ever get back to where i was..... and the thing is, i love running - it's the best therapy i could find - just concentrating on placing one foot in front of the other and your mind clears...any troubles i had at the time melted away.... running is as much a state of mind as muscle.... i miss the good old days!

endeavor to persevere...

It works amazingly well. I haven't shaved my legs, underarms or wahini in two years, and i have no hair there. It is gone. However, it hurts. It hurts bad. My company used a numbing cream so that helps a lot...but any company that says it is pain free is using the laser at such a low intensity it is a waste of your money. And yes, it is permanent. Make sure you find a company that uses the Lightsheer Diode machines, as those work amazingly well.
It feels a little like a hot needle being poked into your skin everywhere the laser pulses, but the anesthetic really helps, and the results are well worth it.

Edit: Full Brazillian is 6+ treatments spaced every 10-12 weeks apart. Don't EVER let anyone treat you at any interval than that or again, a total waste of money.

I've got a tattoo on my lower back too - a celtic knot, vaguely in the shape of an upside down triangle.

I'd wanted to get a tattoo for a long time, and the lower back is always a nice place I think. I've lived in Ireland my whole life, so I've been surrounded by Celtic myth and culture from my earliest days. I always knew I'd get a Celtic symbol. I chose a Celtic knot as it's supposed to symbolise our place in the universe - I was struggling to find my place in the world at the time. Plus it's pretty :)

I've never regretted getting a tattoo. I still love it three years later. I'm seriously considering getting a second one. I'm thinking of getting the word "poet" written in ogham on the back of my neck, or on my upper back between my shoulder blades.

Did it hurt? Not as much as I thought it would, and I'm a total coward when it comes to pain. It's sort of like a cross between a deep scrape and a very mild burn when you get the outline done, and the shading is very, very easy - doesn't really hurt at all. Mine took an hour and a half. It's not large, but it's a fairly complicated design with some shading effects to it, so it took some precision.

Prior to the move to the UK and the whole "I am an Ae problem with the ex-FMF, I used to ride 12 to 15 miles a day on a bike, and I was IN SHAPE - started running too, but went to fast -not running to running 4 miles in a week (oops) and got stress fracture in me foot. Now I just can't seem to get back into exercising and I LOVE IT! I am hoping to get started again this week. :(
