Thoughts from anyone who has tried the new Tilly’s flavour? I am a big fan of the chocolate brownie flavour, hoping this is as good?
On the kids version of supersize vs superskinny, they blindfolded the kids and had them try new foods. Would it be worth having your husband buy new foods, and serve you a bite size portion of each for you to try and see if you like them? You might surprise yourself and find a new favourite food!
Excuse my while I go clean out stock of this at my local woolies!
F/26/5’6” [193 > 139 = 54lbs] 12 months. This only shows the physical progress I’ve made, but the mental strides I’ve taken alongside the physical progress has been the real game changer!
I love all the bars/brownies that I’ve tried so far, but the chocolate ones are the best I’ve got to admit!
What do you wish you enjoyed more of before becoming a parent?
If my dr didn’t bring up losing weight to have a healthy pregnancy when I told her I was thinking of TTC should I be concerned?
Thank you! CICO was the method but a lot of it came down to the mental side of things - accepting it will be a slower process than I would like, calling myself on BS excuses, not eating when I’m not hungry, stopping the ‘all or nothing’ mentality etc.
From what I’ve read, weight doesn’t necessarily affect fertility until you’re in the obese BMI category or higher. That being said, an underweight BMI can have the same affect too.
If you feel like losing weight is what’s best for you and your future pregnancy, go for it! Just make sure to do it healthfully and sustainably.
How long have you been consciously waiting to try?
It depends on how you view it I suppose. I knew I wanted to get married and buy a house before trying in an ideal scenario. Got married in feb 2019 and bought a house in July 2019. About two months later I felt settled and ready to start a family which soon started turning into full on baby fever. I sat down with my husband and was disappointed that he was nowhere near ready. Fair enough, it honestly wouldn’t have been ideal to get pregnant at that time in retrospect. They really don’t show that scenario in any TV shows or movies so I was really confused if nothing else.
But before that in 2017, a coworker had his wife come in to introduce their newborn twin daughters. Now I’d never held a baby in my teen/adult years as there was never the opportunity to. Another coworker who is obsessed with babies basically handed one of the twins to me after she’d had her cuddle. I looked at the mum in the way of ‘is this okay?’ to which I was met with a smile. 10 seconds later, I’m literally in tears. Happy tears. I knew in that moment that I for sure wanted children. To this day I’m not sure why I cried, I’m usually not much of a crier.
When Stephen Colbert moderated the final Lord of the Rings panel last summer at Comic-Con, the ultimate J.R.R. Tolkien fan took what has become a somewhat mandatory stop on a publicity tour and transformed it into an hour-long gush fest, where it was totally acceptable to revel in unabashed enthusiasm for a piece of fiction. Colbert spoke Elvish, revealed a delightful outtake reel and displayed a contagious level of love for the 13-year odyssey.
So it’s no wonder that Lionsgate, in its Comic-Con swan song for The Hunger Games trilogy, would try and up its game in bringing Conan O’Brien in to San Diego to moderate the studio’s panel for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. But will O’Brien display the same kind of uber-fandom devotion that Colbert easily handed out last summer?
His fiery red hair notwithstanding, the 52-year old comedian and talk show host has featured many Hunger Games cast members on his show over the years, including Natalie Dormer, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth and, of course, Jennifer Lawrence. During his interview with Hutcherson back in 2012, a.k.a. Peeta Mellark, described all signs devoted fans created for his character during their publicity tour, including the group of girls calling themselves Peetaphiles and one fan who decided Katniss and Peeta should be a couple, under the moniker Peeniss.
So, one thing is for sure: O’Brien will bring the laughs to Hall H during the panel. And what a relief, considering how the final chapter of The Hunger Games trilogy is so bleak.Welcome Michelle Cook to our Mid-Atlantic ADA Center team!

Individuals who are working to recover from addictions such as alcoholism and substance use disorders are generally considered to be people with disabilities who are protected under the ADA. While the law excludes from protection those who are currently engaged in illegal drug use, those who are not currently engaged in such use should not be discriminated against based on their addictions. People who experience alcoholism are similarly protected, regardless of whether they currently consume alcohol.
Because the consumption of alcohol is not illegal for adults, alcoholics do not need to refrain from drinking to be protected under the ADA. However, they can be held to valid standards of conduct in employment or programs that require sobriety. For example, an employer does not have to allow an employee with alcoholism to drink or to be under the influence of alcohol at work, and the employer can expect compliance with legitimate, consistently applied job performance requirements.
The Illegal use of drugs, which includes using prescription medications in an illegal manner (e.g., taking higher doses than prescribed or taking someone else’s medication), is addressed differently under the ADA. Covered entities may consistently take actions based on illegal drug use. For example, employers can refuse to hire applicants who fail tests for illegal drug use, regardless of whether or not the individual could perform the job. However, care should be taken to distinguish between test results that reveal illegal use of drugs and legal use of medications. Many people appropriately, legally take a variety of medications to treat a broad range of conditions, including addictions.
An employer in West Virginia rescinded a job offer upon learning of the applicant’s use of Suboxone to treat her opioid use disorder (OUD). According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), the employer made its decision based on generalized information about possible side effects of Suboxone, without any individualized assessment of the applicant. The employer agreed to pay $60,000 to the applicant, establish policies to ensure individualized assessments of the abilities of applicants and employees with disabilities, train staff, and appoint a compliance monitor within the company. See the EEOC's press release.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has entered several settlement agreements with health care providers across the country to resolve allegations that patients were refused admission or denied treatment based on their OUDs and/or use of medication-assisted treatments. Most of these agreements require the health care providers to revise policies and practices, implement extensive staff training programs and record-keeping procedures, and in many cases, pay damages to complainants and civil penalties to the United States. An example in our region is the agreement with Selma Medical Associates, Inc., a private medical practice that provides primary and specialty care in Virginia.
The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) entered a voluntary resolution agreement with the Office of Civil Rights in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (OCR/HHS) to address allegations that the DHHR discriminated against an aunt and uncle who wanted to adopt their niece and nephew, who were in the custody of the state. The DHHR allegedly denied permission for the adoption because the uncle received Suboxone treatment to support his recovery from OUD. See the OCR/HHS press release.
The Pennsylvania court system, according to the U.S. DOJ, subjected individuals under court supervision to policies that limited or prohibited the use of medications to treat their OUDs, resulting in denial of court program benefits,
