I used the snow as an excuse to not do my regular workout, but I forced myself to shovel my driveway & sidewalk, my two neighbors, and the woman across the street. I shoveled heavy snow for about 2.5 hours and burned some sick calories.
OMG.... how nice are you! Nothing in the world as nice as a neighbor getting a drive or walk shoveled before you get out there.

I didn't 5 years ago or whenever I joined. I've been on forums but small ones and various Yahoo Groups...very different than this type. So might be part of it?

I can't believe I shared that.
I did that with a cake I made for a friend for her birthday. The icing called for melted chocolate, and so I melted a Dairy Milk bar. I only used half of the melted chocolate, and to keep myself from pigging out on what was left (and it was a decent amount), I decided to throw it out. But before I threw it out, I squirted dish detergent into it so that I wouldn't be tempted to dig it out of the garbage.
So...you're not alone.
OMG...we are so NOT alone... think about those that haven't posted about this!0 -
I step on the scale every day, (I know I shouldn't...) and am still disappointed that it doesn't drop dramatically from the day before. EVEN THOUGH, that is completely illogical.
Seriously. I'm putting the scale on the top shelf in the closet tonight, and it's not coming out til April 1st.0 -
And I threw out my daughters birthday cake after the party, so I wouldn't eat it. She had some first, don't worry

Makes me so uncomfortable and then I move to go do something else. I usually text my bf and tell him "Creepy guy staring at me work out" Just in case I get kidnapped
Glad I got that off my chest.
The only time I see this is when I go out dancing. Very rarely there will be lurkers at dance fitness classes/events.
I go right up to them and tell them that there are no spectators--they have to join in! At that point they generally get very embarrassed and leave.

I've actually gotten rid of multiple scales because of this. I have one in my closet now, and I still haul it out several times per week. Ugh.
I haven't done it in a while, but I've also thrown out food and ruined it first. We have to do what we have to do.

Confession: our IT department brings in donuts every Friday. I used to always grab one in the morning with my coffee. I haven't had one in over two months but kind of get a sick satisfaction seeing certain people go back for 2-3.
Although sometimes I like to walk past them just to smell the sugary goodness.0 -

I take it you're not an American
I am, but I definitely don't see people in my age bracket with mustaches around these parts (south Florida). And I mean just a mustache, it doesn't count to have a mustache and beard. If I see men with a mustache, their hair is usually greying. Either that, or they're fellow nerds at anime/comic conventions.
I don't like Reddit. I find the website's design to be poor.My first thought was redditor

No don't! Any more fedoras and/or moustaches and they'll implode into a black hole of hipsterness and you'll never hear about them again.

A couple of weeks ago, I had THREE guys try to flirt with me on my way to/from the grocery store. It's only a half mile walk each way. These weren't even Latinos...Latin guys often flirt with me, but most American men ignore me completely.
This totally confuses me as I am old, not very attractive and still pretty fat. Must have been the red sweater and tight jeans!
My point is...it will happen, probably sooner than you think!0 -
I haven't worked out since Monday and i'm still sore from that workout.
I weigh myself almost every morning on my wii and get greatly annoyed when it shows my BMI and says "that's obese" or when I step on the board and it goes "ooo".
My main motivation for losing weight is so that people will notice me. and my main deterant for losing weight is the excess skin that I will probably develop.0 -

I think part of it is desktop vs app, too. IMO, the app is really counter-intuitive for navigating the forums, since it seems the bar with the search option only shows until the ad underneath it finishes loading, and you won't see it again unless you happen to scroll up. On a desktop it's always there in multiple places.0 -

I admit that I'm very judgey about full grown women asking questions about their TOM. I've been dealing with it for <ahem> years. If something changed, I'd be asking my doctor. Otherwise, I know what's gonna happen, every month.
Totally agree. If I see one more "OMG, it's my period and it's not my fault if I eat thousands of calories, because HORMONES" or "I am bloated" thread, I will scream. Newsflash, it's your period, every woman of child bearing age has one (barring medical issues or birth control that stops it). You will have it every month until menopause (which I have heard is much, much worse) so quit whining about it!
Also before someone says it, I am a woman, not a man (because everyone knows men have no hormones, right??)0 -

Bah. My PMS is way worse now than it was a year ago. And dealing with TOM is not the same experience at all when you're losing weight. One incidence aside, I don't remember at all how my PMS was before I started losing weight... because it probably didn't matter to me if I ate more. Now it does, and it *is* very frustrating when you're a bottomless pit while trying to lose weight.
I also lost my period for a few months, which had never happened to me before, and I had no plan to waste $25 to see my doctor just to be told that it's totally normal (which I ended up doing anyway and wish I hadn't).
Plus honestly if I hadn't talked about my TOM/PMS issues here, I wouldn't have been aware at all that I have a bunch of symptoms of pre-menopause and NOW I can talk to my doctor about it next time I see her... Otherwise it would probably have been brushed off as 'normal PMS stuff'.
So yeah, until it's free to go see a doctor, I hope women feel comfortable asking questions about TOM and PMS here.0 -

Google is your friend. You can easily look up symptoms on there to gauge if there may be an issue. Or even pay $25 to your Dr and describe your symptoms to him/her. I don't think complaining to a bunch of Internet strangers about a monthly occurrence helps anything because the opinions you will get are so varied. And no one can tell if you are just complaining or there is something really wrong anyway, even if they were qualified to diagnose a medical problem. If you think you have symptoms of perimenopause then then see a Dr. I fail to see why complaining about being hungry/hormonal on the Internet saves women from paying medical co-pays though? I guess that's your own logic.
ETA In several parts of the world it is free to see a Dr-1 -
