Also:
never said "Hashtag"
I have:
-Participated in a fantasy football league - I Do this! and actually won the trophy last year, and came in a very close second this year!
-Done the Macarena
I've said "hashtag".
I've also said "YOLO"
Ha!
If I say YOLO it's very sarcastic. And also mocking this generation that uses it as a legitimate word.
Well, when I moved away from my hometown (where I lived for years because of the free babysitters), it was because my (then teenage) daughter said, YOLO mom.
It's true...
I have never said "on fleek" or whatever that is.
En flique - it literally means under surveillance - dance teachers/cheer coaches use it to mean "clean" or that you've checked your own form so that they don't need to yell at you.
The French Verb is fliquer, to police.
Dang. I totally SHOULD incorporate this, then. LOL
Edit: "certain people" my brain moves faster than my fingers...
Huh. I learned something today. Somehow, I think the vast majority of people who use it have no idea what it actually means.
I'm sure they don't. I think I learned it from a gymnastics coach when Tamara was small. But I looked it up when she used it because I took French and her "cleaned up" didn't sound like a direct translation and then I heard a dance teacher call out "en flique, people are watching" to her students at the Christmas parade this year and when I looked it up again that did stick. (the Nutcracker principals aren't allowed to ride the float because God forbid they get hurt, but the mice and minor dancers are always in the parade to advertise).

Some of the things that I haven't done that I'm proud of:
I have never:
-Worked out with a giant inflatable ball
-Said “we’re pregnant”, whatevs, ginormous, “that’s fab”, brain fart, or delish
-Worn a do-rag
-Participated in a fantasy football league
-Done the Macarena
-Worn Vibram 5 finger shoes
-Owned a little yippy gerbil-type of dog
-Posted a Facebook status update with the hope that Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg were going to give me free money
-Posted a cliffhanger Facebook message to draw sympathy or create curiosity, ie, “At the hospital “ or “Worst day of my life!” and then disappeared for the rest of the day.
From your list, I have only:
-Done the Macarena (I was a kid when it was big so...)
-Said ginormous (may have said whatevs but was making fun)
-Worked out with an exercise ball (and decided it was not at all for me)
-Owned a yippy dog (another childhood mistake)
I have also never:
-Worn skinny jeans
-Bleached my hair
-Worn elfish dress shoes where the toes curl up
I currently own skinny jeans.
I used Sun In back in the day. That's sorta like bleaching?
Never worn elfish dress shoes, I don't think...
I've never changed my relationship status on Facebook to "It's Complicated"
I own skinny jeans (multiple pairs). It's OK for females, right?!?
I bleached my hair, on my own, with facial hair bleach when I was a teenager.
I have a pair of shoes that my husband and son call elf shoes (but they don't turn up at the toe).
My FB status has always been "Married."
I have never said "on fleek."
I have never watched The Walking Dead, CSI (any of them), How I Met Your Mother, or Big Bang Theory
I would imagine in your line of work, CSI would drive you crazy. Love the other 3 and I used to love CSI, the original, a long time ago. Don't hate me
I don't own any skinny jeans and every time I read that they are going out of style, I secretly celebrate. Now I need them to actually go out of style so I don't feel quite so dated.
I have never even heard "on fleek" or "En flique". Now I really feel old.
As far as Facebook status, I think I want to change it to "It's complicated" and post some random "worst day of my life" just to see what people would say.
I like the original CSI with Grissom! I stopped watching shortly after he left. And the red-headed guy on CSI Miami drove me crazy!!
I have never watched Big Bang Theory or How I met Your Mother. Or Star Wars..any of them.
I have never and will never wear skinny jeans or elf shoes.
And I also have never heard "on fleek" or "en flique"
Never bleached my hair either.
Same for these ^
That made it easy to respond to that part anyway.
ETA: So for the original list. I do own a giant ball for some weird reason but never worked out with it. I've also never done the other things on the list so that made it easy too...
I've used a giant ball for years, since I had to go to physical therapy for my back.
I've never said "we're pregnant". I was the pregnant one. I've said the rest I am sure.
I've never worn the finger shoes or posted on FB hoping someone would give me money. Money doesn't work that way.
I've worn skinny jeans, but I don't really like them.
Bleaching my hair would take forever and probably make it fall out by the time I got it to blonde. I like it black anyway.
I watched part of a.Walking Dead marathon in the ICU waiting room in 2014. The whole time I wondered why the guy that was watching it on purpose wanted to watch a show about zombies when someone in his family was at.death's door. I liked CSI original and Miami, but nit New York. Never watched the others, but I am a Star Wars fan girl and a trekkie too.
I have worn elf shoes for a play. Does that count?

I am bad though, my past alcohol consumption would probably really shock you, but I haven't had a drink in 10 days and feel brilliant!
Way to go on the #soberdays! As the child of an alcoholic, I doubt your consumption would shock me.

These responses to my "Some of the things that I haven't done that I'm proud of" list are hilarious! But this isn't the definitive list, there must be countless other ridiculous things that you are oddly proud that you haven't done...
Things I've never done of which I am proud:
Never smoked weed (I feel like I've confessed this before)
Never seriously said "YOLO"
Never played with a Ouija board
Never had a speeding ticket
Can't think of anything else.
I confess that I threatened to sprinkle Holy Water on my roommate's Ouija board in college if she didn't take it home.0 -

I haven't had them in forever. I don't like them anymore. But I used to be able to finish a whole bag.
If I brought them home, the boys would consume them before I got even one. I've tried repeatedly...0 -

I despise skinny jeans with a passion. I honestly don't think they look good on ANYONE, regardless of their gender, age, or physique. But then, I have the same opinion of leggings and all stretchy/clingy pants in general.
I agree with this. Unless you are a 6' 100 lb model they don't look good. But the low cut jeans were worse. The ones you couldn't wear underwear with and had to wax. A la 18 year old Britney Spears.
Hey, now! I wear skinny jeans! AND if I recall correctly, my most famous picture on here is me in skinny jeans!
My maroon skinny pants are almost too tight in the calves since I started lifting seriously.

Well I wasn't really posting it as being proud of not wearing it, merely that I never had. But that is a good perspective and you are right.0 -
My husband hides his sweetie stash so I don't find it and pig out. Normally works brilliantly but sometimes I find the stash, EAT IT ALL and then he finds a new hiding place. Today I found the stash and I put it out in the rubbish being collected tomorrow. I feel guilty but if I'd eaten it all he still wouldn't have had any...right? 0

Skinny jeans. Me.
Heh. Heh heh heh.
Hah.
Confession: wife said I should try them now. On my aged frame, no less.

Marissa, you're right. And same as Patricia, I was just repeating from the original list the things I haven't done..not necessarily whether I'm proud about it or not.0

Two words: Melungeon hair. A do rag serves the same purpose for me it does "for a person of a different race".My husband hides his sweetie stash so I don't find it and pig out. Normally works brilliantly but sometimes I find the stash, EAT IT ALL and then he finds a new hiding place. Today I found the stash and I put it out in the rubbish being collected tomorrow. I feel guilty but if I'd eaten it all he still wouldn't have had any...right?
I find it easier to write his name on it. If something definitely belongs to someone else, I wont take it without asking and I certainly wouldn't eat it all.
But, no, he wouldn't have had any either way.
Edit to add: Marissa, I don't like the way my reply sounded. I am mixed race - specifically Melungeon which should be an ethnicity all its own, in my opinion. My skin is an olive "white", but hair is very definitely not a white person's hair. I wear do rags because I need them occasionally.0 -

Man, you go away for a few months and everything changes.
I think it sorts by when the thread started and this one is almost a year old.
Nope, the mods killed our thread so it won't appear on the front pages anymore. This was because a lot of members were making a stink about how we're always off topic and why aren't they locking us down.
I didn't know that. And I don't agree with it, either. How can a confession or any response to one be off topic? anyway, thanks fir educating me.
They tried to move us to chit chat but you got a bunch of weirdos when they did that. So we complained, they moved us back to general diet and weight loss, and froze us so we stayed way back as if no one was actually posting in here.
They felt that our digressions weren't related to diet and weight loss even though we kept saying we have inspired each other in so many ways and have really managed to teach each other how to lose weight, how to be sensible, inspired running and lifting and any number of other activities.
No idea. If you ever read through all the pages there were some people who were quite passionate about the fact we didn't belong in general weight loss.
I remember a night where some of the more blunt members of the forums came to this thread to try baiting us.
Trolls cause stress and stress causes weight gain. Therefore, by the transitive theory trolls cause weight gain. Since trolls cause weight gain, I refuse to be baited by them.
Good linkage there. Even more argument for our thread. It's a destressor.
Hilarious!
I think every time someone picks a fight in here we can all yell Yahtzee.0 -

I stopped by CVS and saw a bag of Sweetos . I was very tempted to pick them up.Susieq_1994 wrote: »I love that this thread is having some new life breathed into it!
I confess that all this recent talk of Cheetos sent me searching to the supermarket for a big bag of puffy, cheesy goodness. I also confess that I returned home disappointed and Cheeto-less.
The Sweetos were alright, but the limited edition Angie's Popcorn was better.
Sugar Cookie, Candy Corn, & Peppermint all yummy.0 -

My husband hides his sweetie stash so I don't find it and pig out. Normally works brilliantly but sometimes I find the stash, EAT IT ALL and then he finds a new hiding place. Today I found the stash and I put it out in the rubbish being collected tomorrow. I feel guilty but if I'd eaten it all he still wouldn't have had any...right?
If I can't have it in the house, he doesn't bring it home. If he brings it home and I find it, it's fair game for the trash can. My husband knows that... yours will learn. Haha!0 -

Some of the things that I haven't done that I'm proud of:
I have never:
-Worked out with a giant inflatable ball
-Said “we’re pregnant”, whatevs, ginormous, “that’s fab”, brain fart, or delish
-Worn a do-rag
-Participated in a fantasy football league
-Done the Macarena
-Worn Vibram 5 finger shoes
-Owned a little yippy gerbil-type of dog
-Posted a Facebook status update with the hope that Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg were going to give me free money
-Posted a cliffhanger Facebook message to draw sympathy or create curiosity, ie, “At the hospital “ or “Worst day of my life!” and then disappeared for the rest of the day.
You guys are all white, why is this an accomplishment? Not wearing something that has a useful purpose for individuals from a different race is something to be proud of?
Two words: Melungeon hair. A do rag serves the same purpose for me it does "for a person of a different race".My husband hides his sweetie stash so I don't find it and pig out.

I find it easier to write his name on it. If something definitely belongs to someone else, I wont take it without asking and I certainly wouldn't eat it all.
But, no, he wouldn't have had any either way.
Edit to add: Marissa, I don't like the way my reply sounded. I am mixed race - specifically Melungeon which should be an ethnicity all its own, in my opinion. My skin is an olive "white", but hair is very definitely not a white person's hair. I wear do rags because I need them occasionally.
I confess that I just googled "Melungeon".

I confess that I quite like the runny yolk and happily eat it that way. It does annoy me when I wanted to use it for something that requires hard boiled eggs rather than soft boiled, though. 0 -

So you've never seen whites wearing do-rags? I see it all the time, I just did in the gym this morning.

My family is definitely that. My oldest brother has a red afro, olive skin like mine and freckles.0 -

Lifestyles of the serially offended...
Marrissa's post didn't read as offended to me, just as pointing out a different perspective that might not have been considered.
I am not sure what defines a do-rag vs similar ways of covering the hair, but I sometimes wear something similar while scuba diving to contain my hair long very fine hair which otherwise comes loose and floats in an annoying clingy cloud around my head completely obscuring my vision.0 -

I like it in fried. In hard boiled it grosses me out.0
