Haha...you do have to be more specific these days when it comes to clubs...long gone are the days of weekly residencies and parties. Check out Brooklyn! Park Slope is very close to the city...a few stops away on the F train and it's a very cool area...plenty of shops, food...etc. Parts of...

me too!!! Cashews and organic, natural, unsalted cashew butter!!! MmmmMmmm! It satisfies me too...and for some odd reason if I have a killer chocolate craving it kills it.

I haven't been on the elite board for a while...when suddenly something made me check my private message box where I found this message!!! I am so sorry for the delayed response....but THANK YOU. This information helped me out a lot...especially right now. Guess that random p/m box check was a...

That's so funny b/c one of my favorite cheat treats is a rice cake or 2 with soynut butter and sugar free rasberry jelly (I recently discovered a very annoying allergy to peanuts/peanut butter and almond butter :( ...and I luuuuuvvvvvvvvvv p/b).

Sorry about that...I skipped right over that part. :qt:

I was happy to find this thread as well...in fact...I signed on to ask a similar question myself. I know how to properly care for my diet and training. I used to make my living as a personal trainer, and my boyfriend is a trainer himself who has been bodybuilding and competing for over 11 years...

wooo...started it yesterday and let me tell you...my DR DID NOT WARN ME ABOUT THE POSSIBLE DIZINESS AND NAUSEA!

thank you so much for all this info...looks liek I have some researching to do!

How does the copper IUD work?
