    Yucky thigh spots question.

    ...the problem is being caused in part by the friction of body parts rubbing against one another and warm-ish, moist-ish areas in which bacteria (or fungus or whatever) can breed. Microorganisms are always on everyone's bodies, but they usually stay on the surface of the skin and don't gain a...

    Todays' Oprah

    This is what I think (on general principles, not regarding Oprah or her show or this particular show): Everyone is judged at least partly by their appearance. Given that fact, many people will invest a certain amount of time, effort, and other resources trying to look "good" (whatever that...

    The look of LE vs. the look of extreme obesity

    ...what LE is, how it may be exacerbated by other conditions, and how it's treated. http://www.elymphnotes.com/detail.asp?ci=256&it=ICI I'm sure that other articles on that site could be useful for some of us here, as well. But the article, above, is good for starting with the basics...

    The look of LE vs. the look of extreme obesity

    ...illustrating a non-obese woman who has been afflicted with lymphedema in one leg from an early age. (Notice how otherwise-thin this woman is on her "normal" side. I don't know what happened to this young woman, but I can tell you the LE is a not-uncommon side effect of having surgery for...

    The look of LE vs. the look of extreme obesity

    Well, the pix that I've seen posted on the LE boards are of the members' own legs, so even if I were to copy them over and then crop and alter them, I feel that I'd be invading someones privacy to post them here. And my own afflicted leg isn't in the shape that I have in mind, so posting a pic...

    The look of LE vs. the look of extreme obesity

    --That is, until I joined some LE boards and saw photos of members swellings, I didn't recognize LE for what it was when I viewed photos and illustrations of very fat women.

    The look of LE vs. the look of extreme obesity

    To summarize: 1-Over the years, I've seen photos and illustrations of 300+ and 400+ pound women on this and other sites and in print, along with comments by FAs as to how attractive these women's physiques are. OK--so far, so good. 2-Then, a bit over two years ago, I developed one or more...

    The "Foods I Wish Were Still Around" Thread

    ...was that you'd get out the electric mixer, whip it at high speed for a while, and then, as it cooled, it would automatically separate out into three separate parfait layers (one of which was like Jello and one of which was a mousse--was the 3rd like a pudding?--I can't remember). The stuff...

    WLS from a Fitness Expert's Point of View

    ...are a common side-effect of any severe caloric restriction. AAMOF, many bariatric surgeons recommend that ones gall bladder be removed prior to WLS. My last diet was that infamous 400kcal liquid fast (and, no, I didn't jump on the Oprah bandwagon, as I did this diet before she made it...

    The "Foods I Wish Were Still Around" Thread

    ...Whip 'n' Chill. I'm sure that it was 100% noxious artificial chemical ingredients...but it was easy to make, and it tasted pretty good (to my child-aged palate).

    What ever happened to...

    Ok, ok...I realize that your quesion was probably a rhetorical one, because I doubt that anyone since Marilyn Monroe has fit that description, and she died in the 1960s. If that had been intended to be a straight-up, serious question, then I'd have (rudely) asked whether you'd been asleep for...

    2 bbw voyeurs with nowhere to go...

    I hang out on a sexuality board, AskIsadora.Com, and there is a section on that board called "Nontraditional Sex." You might try joining that board (it's entirely $$ free, spam-free, virus free, etc.), posting something in the "nontraditional" section, and seeing if any of Isadora's other...

    How prevalent are FA's?

    ...middle-class (and above) European-American men are sincerely grossed-out by the sight of blubber. Their biggest fear is that they'll marry someone and she'll "go fat" on them, and they'll "have" to get divorced, cheat on her, or fantasize about the latest PMOTM (or suchlike) in order to have...

    "I'm good enough to sleep with, but not good enough to date"

    ...and even then, it's only to the extent that our society lowers a man's status for being seen with a fat woman. The real problem is the so-called "double standard," and that's something that embitters both men and women. I think that men started this whole double-standard crap, so I'm...

    What the Bleep?

    The basic premise is that all of this New-Agey mumbo-jumbo (or, religion-in-general) has some sort of a scientific basis, on the level of quantum physics. (It's not entirely about the RAMTHA cult, although the woman who claims to channel RAMTHA had a fair amount of input.) The...

    Taurine

    SERIOUSLY?! Wow, who'da thunk it? I mean, Taurine is a perfectly natural amino acid--actually, an ESSENTIAL amino acid, which means that everyone needs it in their diet. Now, the Guarana/caffeine that's in Red Bull--given that it's a powerful ('though natural) stimulant, and I can see how...

    Taurine

    ...I do know that when one is taking extra doses of a particular amino acid--such as Taurine--that it's recommended to take it on am empty stomach and alone--then wait an hour or so for it to be absorbed. Taking it at bedtime is the way that lots of folks do it. Cats happen to need extra...

    bad news!

    I used to date a guy in my ceramics class who is my age. The teacher is about five years older than us. The teacher is of Japanese ancestry and--not that "all" Japanese folks are short--he's way shorter-than-average (height-wise). My former BF is my height--5'8"--and he constantly complained...
