Starting over!
Hi Everyone!
My name is Jessica and I was on Medi back in 2009 for 10 months, during which I lost 100 pounds! I LOVED this plan and the way I looked!
2 years later.. I have gained it all back! Ughh.... lots of reasons "why". Had to have my gallbladder removed, developed an ulcer from the meds. 2 miscarriages, and finally bedrest during my pregnancy with my son which resulted in me gaining 60 pounds during pregnancy.
My son is 6 months old now and I am ready to get BACK to Medi and to the way I looked! Bedrest during pregnancy really did a number on me but I have been regaining stamina and I'm ready to LOSE this weight!!
Had my 1st appt back at my clinic yesterday & today is DAY ONE for me! I'm so excited to get back onto the plan and get this weight OFF!
Oh, and we are DONE DONE DONE having kids, so I sure plan to have this be the LAST time I do this because this weight... will NOT be coming back! :)
Thats GREAT!!
I am so excited for you!
You've gone through alot, you deserve this!
Congrats on the new baby and the decision to start again. You made it work before and you'll do it again!!
Welcome back Jessica. I to started over 1/1/2012. We can do this.
For Jessica - You can definitely do it again, Jessica! You have the determination, the willingness and the heart and spirit. You did this before with body/mind/spirit commitment.
If there is anything I can do to help you, just let me know. I will be there for you all the way!
Sending hugs your way!:hugs::heart:
Thanks Jo! I knew you would still be here, staying strong! :) I am doing well so far, currently visiting family for a long weekend and I've been able to do well eating on-plan (always a challenge when being a houseguest).
You're right, I did it before, I can do it now! With baby #3 here it's even more important to me to be fit and strong for my family!
Hi Jessica! You and I started right around the same time last time. I, too, have had a 3rd child and gained it all back. Ugh! I was poking around here trying to get some motivation to start eating well again. Can't start Medi till I'm done nursing, but I think I really want to go back when I can. I remember how great I felt while doing this plan and want to have that feeling again.
Good luck to you ... I hope that getting back into the swing of things is not too difficult for you!
Thanks Robyn :) My son is HUGE.. 22 pounds, 28 inches tall.. he's in the 97%ile for height and 96%ile for weight. I just couldn't keep up with his demand nursing-wise! He's proportionate, not like a budda baby, but he's just BIG! I decided that since I was going to stop nursing that would be a great reason to come back to Medi!
Good luck!! :)

New Maps of Hell - Bad Religion
- Band Name: Bad Religion
- Record Label: Epitaph
- Release Date: Jul 9, 2007
- Summary: The hardcore, often political rockers return with their 14th studio album.
- Record Label: Epitaph
- Genre(s): Rock, Punk
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 6 out of 11
Mixed: 5 out of 11
Negative: 0 out of 11
It finds that the guys don't just still have it, but they sound goddamn rejuvenated, bristling with electric energy and undeniable fervor.
New Maps is a terrific sounding record; at least two-thirds of it begs many repeated listens.
'New Dark Ages,' with its layered background harmonies, wall-of-sound instrumentation, and quietly propulsive drumming, is a 27-year career in a nutshell.
There's a heavy metal fence around much of New Maps of Hell that does sometimes feel new, or at least like revitalization of old habits.
It's business as usual for Bad Religion, the US punk rock stalwarts recently restored to full power with the return of guitarist Brett Gurewitz. [Sep 2007, p.100]
It does nothing to distinguish itself from other BR releases and some of the premier punk albums released in the past few years, but it also can immediately trump most of the stuff being put out these days on the virtue of BR's tight and likable style.
Score distribution:
Positive: 10 out of 12
Mixed: 0 out of 12
Negative: 2 out of 12
JamesP.Sep 1, 2007This is what I have come to expect from the worlds foremost authority on inteligent punk. Only a great album like so many before it. Bravo.
darrisc.Aug 5, 2007its what i wanted. wasnt it what you wanted?
JamesD.Feb 2, 2008superlative; this album is immensely enjoyable. No band writes catchier punk songs than bad religion. Oh, and their drummer, Brooks Wackerman, is excellent.… Expand
ChrisW.Aug 11, 2007Love this band, havent lost any steam since they started, but in some songs you really get the feeling that they overedited the thing... they lose some of the rawness of thier previous releases.… Expand
KezMAug 28, 2007Awesome Album and still going strong after many years.
JonAug 21, 2007Not their best album by any stretch of the imagination. However it's still a lot better than most of the other rubbish being churned out in this genre of music.… Collapse
MrL.Aug 2, 2007When was Bad Religion ever anything but a vehicle for the mentally underendowed to feel temporarily more intelligent than was their right?

purchasers, and the infeasibility of meeting certain requirements. The software problem is a complex one, and it is not clear that a specific and evidently correct solution is possible. The end users—voters and local election officials—are not likely to be able to understand the code themselves or to appreciate the implications of its complexity for errors. Inappropriate collaboration between local politicians and the vendor, along with the ability to control the setup of the ballot, may be problematic not only because of potential malfeasance but also because neither the vendor nor the politicians are likely to be experts in designing usable ballots. Requirement specification may also be problematic if the requirements mandated in legislation are technically infeasible or unspecific.
It was observed that electronic voting systems pose a fundamentally harder challenge than many other safety-oriented critical systems because of the high risk of motivated, malicious attack. Because voting is so foundational to our democracy and because there are strong incentives for rogue states, terrorists, political parties, special-interest groups, and even individuals to influence election results, the threat of attack on such systems is highly likely. One panelist estimated that in the current system bribing only a handful of people could allow serious compromise. At the moment, large-scale attacks on medical and avionics system software are relatively minimal; there seems to be little motivation for such attacks because these types of systems tend to be very distributed and physically inaccessible. Accordingly, certification in these domains has evolved without much attention to the kinds of adversaries that voting systems might face,14 although there is increasing concern that such systems may themselves become targets of attack.
The difficulty in identifying the user of the system creates additional challenges for building dependable and certifiable voting systems. In most system development environments, there is a user who can evaluate the delivered system for fitness of purpose, and the same party that evaluates the system has the primary vested interest in its quality. For voting systems, there is no single user. Local election officials play a key role in acquiring and managing these systems, but it is arguably the voter who is the true user. Unfortunately, the voter has little influence on the process of acquisition and certification, and cannot easily even assess how likely it is that his or her vote was recorded correctly.

I don't think you will find a site to download the FISH! video. I'd suggest going to their website www.fishphilosophy.com and scrolling to the bottom of the page - click on FISH! International. They will be able to connect you with a distributor in your area that sells the video.

The AARP Wants to Teach Your Grandparents to 'Sext'
I am not creepy and did not just make that up -- it's honestly a direct quote from an article on AARP's Web site about how to incorporate sexting into your love life if you're old. Great googly moogly, why WHY WHY?!
First of all, "sexting" in and of itself should be done only by nobody ever -- it's not a great idea to spend 10 cents sending somebody a picture of your boob that will live on the Internet for the rest of time. This doubles for grandmas, who already have two generations of living descendants cruising the Web looking for trouble.
The organization would also like to remind all the people out there who just couldn't resist sexting to delete messages from their filthy, filthy inbox periodically so that little grandson Joey doesn't grab the phone and get the shock of his life one day.
Uh, thanks, AARP? Please go back to making sure our grandparents get their Denny's breakfasts at a discount, and leave the sexting to the tweens.

Excuse me? If there's anybody that sexting is okay for, it's older people in committed relationships who won't feel embarrassed a week later to find out that he's "just not that into you" and is laughing about it with his friends.
People who think sex between older people is funny and/or gross are in for a shock when they find themselves older and dealing with their urges. Do you really, truly think you'll wake up someday and not be interested in sex?

I agree that having something sexual (picture or text) that could be documented through your phone company and stored on some digital server somewhere, is not a good idea (not for anyone). I think that AARP is trying to encourage seniors to keep using their fantasy life to enhance their relationship. Perhaps the old-love note-in-the-pocket is a better idea. But there are many seniors out there having a very full and satisfying sex life. This is neither gross or creepy - grow up.

By Emmy-chan
While there's nothing wrong with older people having sexy convo's, over the phone with text is just a bad idea. Not an age think really, since lets be adults here and grow up, but sexting is dumb for anyone! It is saved by the phone company.... and people other than you and your hubby/bf go through you're phone sometimes.

As you read this the nominees, award presenters and attendees will be making the finishing touches to their red carpet outfits for this evening's BAFTA awards. It's called adding the extra Choo in the business!
Given that the BAFTA awards are taking place smack bang in the middle of fashion week we are hoping for a whole lot of love for our British designers on the red carpet this evening. Nominee Amy Adams is a big Antonio Berardi fan so we are hoping that the red haired beauty will opt for a strapless gown from his pre fall collection. Cate Blanchett, a nominee in the same category as Amy, will also be strutting her ethereal stuff on the red carpet later and here at Grazia HQ we have a feeling in our wardrobe waters that she will be aiming to make a statement. Let's just hope that statement is an embellished jumpsuit from Roksanda Ilincic's pre fall collection. Please Cate, do it for us!
Our eyes will be, however, firmly on the rising star of the moment, Lupita Nyong'o. Our main plan is to make her our new BFF before she leaves the capital and we hope when we do meet her on the red carpet later she will be wearing something with a little edge, perhaps something from Alexander McQueen's spring/summer 2014 global traveller inspired collection?
Take a look at the gallery above for our red carpet predictions…
