gah. Bra shopping today. 'tis such a heinous event. dunno why they don't make those things the size they say they are. It gets tiresome trying on every new style. Although, if anyone is interested, I did find a cut that appears to be designed to maximise the fat under your arms. Seems like a POW style....

Mygawd, I am VERY interested.. . . .:huh:.... . do you mean that this bra magically collects all of one's underarm/tricep fat and recruits it into one's bra cups?

Whoa... . ... .I'd be, like, a double F er sumfin'.... . . .. .

I think POW is how I will determine style from now on.

I have to go throw this iced tea out! It tastes like soap! I knew I shouldn't have scrubbed the iced tea pitcher. I usually just sort of rinse but the tea builds up & I scrubbed it really well. Now it tastes like soap! Good thing Dawn is gluten-free. :blink:

Yep, I'm in Auckland, but don't hold that against me :P

Bra shopping... there is a subject dear to my heart... ladies - proper fitting makes all the difference in the world - I've been known to stop people in the street and let them know why their bra is not fitting properly ;) Back fat is NOT PRETTY! West Aucklanders make POW look quite refined don't you know!

And please don't behave on my account... I have plenty of naughty in me!

The worst, most uncomfortable, ill-fitting bra I evah bought/wore (once) in my life was one bought from a specialty bra shop called U-Fit-In in ChCh. Well, obviously I didn't fit in, in their store or their bra. I guess the shop was designed for those with ginormous boobies which overfloweth all cups and know no bounds, whereas my problem is that I have BIG bones and small mammalaries and the cup sizes for my around size start at something like DDXXXX :lol:

Lol Mushroom. I'm the opposite... lots of filling for the cups, not a lot of ribcage on which to rest 'em... if the band size starts with 12 or 14 (34 or 36 in old money) then it often doesn't quite go high enough up the alphabet :D The very, very best fitter I've ever met is in a little shop in Howick - she's the absolute business and won't let you purchase anything that doesn't absolutely fit perfectly... hmmm... I can feel an expedition coming on.

BE called whilst I was shopping and I told him it could take a while. He thought I was kidding. :blink: I was showing him one of the cute ones :ph34r: and he asked what size I wore. Humorous to me that the actual presence of the said appendages is not nearly so entertaining as the numbers associated with them. :P:rolleyes:

I always liked Lands End suits. You could get different bra types and strategic draping or pleating. As strategic as an article of clothing can be that leaves 80% of you uncovered.

I personally go for a one suit that covers my thighs. can't get around the cleavage part because although I'm only 4'11" I have big boobs. I can't wait to feel well enough to sit in my backyard (while the neighbors kids are in school). Can't go to the beach until the strips holding my incision together fall off. My neighbor without the kids said I'm welcome to sun in her yard when the older ones go nuts on the trampoline. She also make jewelry (very different than mine) so we plan on trading skills this summer.

Today I see the oncologist af find out my biopsy results. Clark took the day off. Will let you know how it turns out later.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      By Jane02 · Posted

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.
