Goodness, we've reached new heights. 😲

I was already looking for where those eggs were, then I realized they’re on Bimbo ii. 🤣

A week or two ago, I finally hit the max level, and now the game is just... sitting there. I log in every day out of habit. I had this intense drive to "finish it," but now 🤷.

There's no way I'm deleting it. It's just frustrating that it's so difficult to design new levels.

Ladies, where have you all been? 😢

I don't post here much, though I’ve spent plenty of time lurking in the women's corner. It was a shame when they moved it.

I hit level 45 yesterday—feeling pretty proud of that. It made me think back to when I first stumbled upon this thread (well, the old 😬) and discovered the game through it. That feels like a lifetime ago. Now, I'm actually climbing my way to the top.

The game itself doesn't excite me quite like it used to, but I've grown used to having Bimbica around. I wouldn't want to delete her. When there was that double points promotion on VIB, I really wanted to grab a six-month subscription, but then I realized I couldn't do anything without a credit card. 😢 Then again, who knows if I'll even still be playing a year from now. 🤷

Here are my photos. 🙂

Briefly, you can see my current stats in my signature, which outlines the methods I used.
I weighed myself this morning; the scale read 142.6 pounds.

In total, I have lost about 33 pounds. My waist is down roughly 10 inches, and my hips by 15.
I still aim to hit 136 pounds on the scale, but seeing how I look in these pictures, I am more than satisfied.
Yesterday, I lifted some restrictions. I don't plan on staying on such a strict regimen forever. I want to be able to have sweets or pancakes when I feel like it, though I will still track calories. I won't exceed 2,000 a day. That is my absolute limit.

I treated myself yesterday. Instead of my usual 1,200, I ate 1,600 calories. 🤣

Before and after shots. The last two are from Saturday, when I finally realized I actually like what I see. 😍

Before and after, with less clothing 😬; the final one is from yesterday.

Finally, here is a photo where I was surprised to recognize myself. I am quite... petite. 😁

I have never been this thin. More importantly, I feel good about my appearance.
I know I am not perfect—my stomach isn't exactly rock hard—but I reached my goal.
I'll keep up with the gym and better eating habits. But that's that.

Go ahead, try to bring me down. 😢

In short, I don't need it. 😬

I asked my trainer about post-workout supplements, and he started going on about protein and why I should bother with it. To be honest, I figured it might help speed up fat burning or help build some muscle definition. Though, maybe taking L-Carnitine before the workout would be more effective. 😕

I'm not entirely sure, so I thought I'd ask for some advice here. 😁

Hello. I’ve been hitting the gym for two months now. Since switching up my diet about ten weeks ago, I’ve dropped 10 pounds. My goal is to lose another 8. Currently, I'm training five days a week for about ninety minutes per session. Lately, I've been looking into protein supplements. From what I've read, they don't necessarily lead to bulk, right? 😁
I spoke with my trainer, and he mentioned there are various types available—some even labeled as "mass" products, if I understood him correctly.

Looking through some catalogs, three options caught my eye as potential fits: PowerBar, BodyShaper, and Weider. I checked out a specific line at CVS recently called Das gessunde plus; the macro ratios seem reasonable for what I need.

Any suggestions? My aim is to shed those final 8 pounds while maintaining a fit, toned look. I'm not looking for anything flashy. 😍

In my garden, they mostly grew with four leaves. Some had five, others six. 😬
After the first mow, they came back with three.

Hi there. 😁

I’m looking to order a custom mug from Dell for my boyfriend’s birthday. I want to use some characters from his favorite old shows—kind of an inside joke between us. The fine print during checkout mentions that I need to own the rights to the images I upload, though I'm not quite sure how to phrase 🤣 this legally. Does anyone know if I'll actually run into trouble if I just use photos I found online?

Anyway, has anyone here ever ordered something like this before? Also, if you've used Dell for custom mugs, how was the quality? 😍

I'd say about 10% of the total.

I was once on a Greyhound bus, sitting in those back rows where there are only five seats. The bus was mostly empty, yet this vagrant sat right next to me.
In moments like that, my first instinct is to get off at the very next stop, but I decided to be brave and stay put. He told me I was beautiful and then started rambling about how he’d recently lost his job and was having a hard time, eventually asking if I’d let him use my phone to make a quick call. I was terrified; I nearly handed it over before stammering that I didn't have any money in my account. I managed to endure the rest of the ride and finally bolted when I could. 🙂

Back in the day, when Fox had a solid lineup, it was my go-to channel.
Now it’s just background noise—TBS, or those other niche networks. I don't think I ever considered it part of the main rotation.

dustycrane73, thanks. 🙂

Hello. 🙂

So... we just got back from our trip to the coast, only to find a ticket waiting for my son at home. He ran a red light—or so they say. He insists it was yellow, but the police followed him afterward, which implies they saw him blow through two reds. This was his first offense. The officer told him it would just be a warning, yet here we are. The fine is $667 and he’s facing a three-month driver's license suspension. I mentioned the beach because we had no idea he wouldn't even be allowed to drive until today. 😁

Anyway, I have a question: is an appeal worth the effort? They told us a first offense was "just" a warning, the officer promised, but now this happens. I'm not interested in debating whether he's guilty or not; he was in the car with his mother, and both of them saw a yellow light, though the officers clearly disagreed. 🤷

Thanks for any insight.

For me, Diana is perfect. My libido is great, no depression, and I feel wonderful. 😍

But Yasmin and Triquilar... they were both terrible. I had zero interest in sex; I can't even tell which one was worse. I love being intimate, but those pills made me feel completely numb. Once I stopped taking them, I felt like myself again. 😁
You really should mention this to your doctor. There’s no point in taking birth control that doesn't work for you. It isn't just about libido—depression and weight gain are also signs that something is wrong.

Jamie Barnes60 said:I honestly have no clue which sub this belongs in, so I'm just dropping it here—my search engine isn't giving me anything useful.

So, my OB-GYN gave me a referral to get my reproductive hormones and thyroid levels checked out. He told me I need to go get bloodwork done between day 3 and day 5 of my cycle. But—and here's the kicker—he didn't actually tell me *where* to go, and I'm totally lost. 🤷

Can I just head over to the local community hospital to get my thyroid tested too? And does anyone know if I’ll be hit with extra out-of-pocket costs for that?

Is there some kind of saint out there who can point me in the right direction?

I did something similar at Johns Hopkins. You have to make an appointment. I actually called them and explained that my cycle timing was unpredictable, so I couldn't book ahead of time, and they managed to squeeze me in the next day. Just give them a call to confirm they handle all those specific tests.

The contact info is at the bottom of their page.

Now, for my actual question.
I started on Diane, and everything felt fine.
Then I switched to Yasmin because they were milder. That’s when things went south—libido dropped, depression set in. Never again with Yasmin.
I've been on Triquilar for about four or five months now. Lately, I've been having chest pains and shortness of breath. It's terrifying. On top of that, the depression is heavy and I've gained weight. It might not even be the pills, but I'm worried. I tried calling my doctor, but she hasn't picked up. I'm seeing her this Friday, but I can't just stop taking them mid-stream without advice; that could be worse.
Anyway, has anyone else dealt with something like this? I know I need to talk to my physician, but I wanted to see if anyone here had gone through something similar. 🙂

I've been considering a diaphragm lately. $117 It isn't a massive commitment given the timeframe. I'll need you to check in once you start using it—how the insertion and removal actually feels. The idea of having to put it in thirty minutes before intimacy, then waiting six to eight hours to take it out, is a bit daunting.
Waiting to hear if anyone else would be willing to share their experiences. 😁
