jolala @jolala (70) • United States 16 Dec 06

I'm curious what kind of diet others with PCOS are following to lose weight. I have to admit I haven't been too faithful with any kind of diet. I've recently started drinking a LOT of water and that seems to be helping a little...

Hotels: Love 'em or hate 'em?

xParanoiax @xParanoiax (6987) • United States 22 Apr 07

I'm in a hotel tonight, which is why I'm on my laptop -- wireless networks are awesome! In any case..I love hotels. I don't know why..I'm just always so much more relaxed out of the house. Whether that's at a hotel like this one...

smithkl80 I'm not a huge fan of hotels. I will stay in one if they are in a nice area & look nice, but I always feel "unsafe" while staying in one......that is the main reason I won't see that new movie called "Vacancy". lol

smithkl80 I would agree with the pineapple. I'm a tough person on the outside & it takes alot to get to know me, but once you do I'm a very sweet and caring person. Hmmm, I might suggest using this discussion in my psych. class.
