I got stretch marks on the inside of both boobs (on the cleavage side, if I had cleavage) sometime in early 2006, about a year after I went on the Pill. I would have thought that if my boobs were going to get bigger because of the Pill, they would have done so within the first four or five months after I started it. The other thing is that my boobs didn't actually get bigger when the stretch marks showed up; my bras all fit the same, and I didn't change sizes when I shopped for new ones. They bothered me a lot for a while until I realised that some people have them a lot worse and most people don't notice them at all anyway. They are rather fainter now, too, so much that I don't even see them most days.
So that is my story about this one time when I had something about my body I didn't really like! Hooray!

I also read somewhere that doing the Wii Boxing that came in Wii Sports for half an hour burns more calories than jogging for half an hour. I tried it, it seems to be true.
onewheelwizzard:
It probably burns a lot more calories than actually just hitting a punching bag for a half hour, too. Since it's a video game, you're constantly in high-tension twitch mode, and just relaxing and flowing into the exercise doesn't happen as easily because you're always reacting to something. It probably takes a lot more energy just because of that.
I always notice being way way more tired after a Wii Boxing match or 5 than I theoretically should be given the amount of movement I just did.

I got Wii Fit about a week ago, and it's pretty cool, guys... as you workout, you earn fitness credits, which are equivalent to minutes working out. When you get enough fitness credits, you unlock more games (or aerobics moves, or yoga poses, or whatever section you're in). There's also a jogging portion, where you can race against a friend--it's virtual reality, f'reals! You don't even need to be standing on the balance board or anything!
Anyway, that combined with the fact that I got a gym membership two weeks ago (and I'm actually going regularly) means that maybe I'll be in good shape again for the first time since middle school.
Barmymoo:
I'm extremely scornful of Wii Sports in the same way that I was scornful of MP3 players until recently... meaning that I'm insanely jealous of anyone who has one and wish I did. Do they really work as well as the adverts claim?
