Totally this. And what does "dating" have to do with half dressed photos? Am I trying to date everytime I wear a bikini? No, because I've been with the same dude for 5 years. And I definitely don't need to impress him. People are allowed to be proud, confident, and show off their hard work. That dude/lady can clutch their…

Of course. I was raised properly. It's rude as hell to sit somewhere and honk or wave out the window. Are you serious with this? It's like holding the door. You hold it for anyone and everyone. It's common politeness. We're not animals. And my son already holds doors for women, children, and the elderly and open my car…

@lookat6 Anyway OP I'm on your side here. In theory.You're concerned about your daughter. That's totally normal. But running in front of cars, trying to "talk" to him, Facebook friending... that's not going to give you any useful information on what kind of person he is or what his intentions are. And it's going to…

Not like meeting parents and having a chat. Literally it's rude to not come up and knock, even if you both scuttle away. It's disrespectful to the woman who's doing the dating. As an adult woman, I'd definitely cancel a date with a guy who didn't come to my door properly. It's a sign of not thinking the woman is "worth"…

Yes, that's traditionally disrespectful. Gentlemen don't sit outside and honk the horn. They come to the door to pick a woman up. Including when you live alone. That's pretty commonly universal. This guy was clearly raised wrong and sadly... his daughter isn't demanding respect, either. Running out to jump in his car? Ugh.…

Me personally? Lol.... my parents were MUCH stricter than this guy. They already had the background info on every dude long before I gave them any details willingly. And they were right to do so. They still check out my current boyfriend. And so do I. That's the reasonable thing to do regardless of age. All this…

No, it's that any parent who claims they "stop parenting" at the magical age of legal adulthood are liars. A 22 year old is mentally a baby. And rent or no rent, she's in his home and he has 100% right to parent her. If she doesn't want to be directly patented, she can get her "adult" self an apartment. And I already said…

OK, nope. That's a predator and the parents failed if they allowed anything but prison to happen for that man. Only someone who is mentally ill in some way seeks out at teenager at 40 years old. Totally unacceptable and disgusting.

*Edited to delete quote from wrong person, too lazy to requote* I agree totally. My Dad STILL writes down the license plate numbers of every dude I've ever dated. And I'm 36 years old with a 13 year old child! I background check my own boyfriends and even my current significant other of 5 years because you never truly know…

That doesn't make a mom stop worrying like every mom does and should. And the other poster is right. If it's under her roof, it's 100% her business. I had to stay with my parents for a brief stint of 6 months between houses and even though I was 28 and a mom with a kid... I followed their rules, their curfew, and paid them…

Since I'm new to Soda drinking in general, I feel like I can weigh in here and say the comments suggesting that the "sweetness" of a Diet soda makes you crave more sweets/eat more has been totally opposite for me. I drink my 1 can of Diet Cherry Pepsi right after the gym each day as the only thing I have between breakfast…

Oh! Here it is @Jthanmyfitnesspal! It's called Lyte Show and is actually $14.95. But they're still doing the $5 off first purchase (which is probably how I paid $9.99). Try promo code "CHEERS711" https://www.drinkwel.com/collections/frontpage/products/lyteshow-4-oz-bottle-electrolyte-concentrate-for-rapid-rehydration

@Jthanmyfitnesspal I know OP got her answer, but "Drinkwel" (online brand/website) makes these electrolyte drops that I got as a free sample that were totally awesome! I forgot all about them until you mentioned that. The website is actually geared toward rehydration for active people who like to drink alcohol, so their…

Wow. I've never been to one and know lots of people who do... I had no idea it was *what sounds like* a stress-inducing carnival of rules! And here I thought my local YMCA was probably lacking and I just didn't realize it! Geez, we can hear dudes screaming up on the cardio floor and even in the studios for class sometimes!…

I was also always like this PLUS I eat TONS of *sea* salt. And I mean "tons" by anyone's standards. I am good about water now because I just force myself to keep chugging (and I add fruit) by always having my water next to me whether car, home, literally anywhere. Now I'm drinking about 140 ounces to 200 ounces per day.…

Looooove red wine. We used to have it every night with dinner... and then with dessert. But I cut it to 1 glass every few weeks with Italian style dinners and just make sure it's a worthy bottle (for only having one serving).

If you like seltzer, try La Croix in fruit flavors. No sweeteners or anything added. I keep the pineapple-strawberry around for when I've had too much caffeine, but don't want plain infused water.

Ooh. Love <3 French-Pressed Coffee, but I'm lazy during the week and use the Ninja. We use the French Press on the weekends, though and it's definitely the freshest, best tasting way to have your coffee.

Well, it depends on the day. I take tons of classes, but some days the classes are less intense, so I'll add additional cardio or strength those days (keeping me there longer). Monday: (Lower impact/intensity so longer day) 9:15 am - Pilates (60 min) 10:30 - 11:40am - General Weight Room (60-70 min) 12:00pm - Les Mills…

Have you seen a Physical Therapist who can assess *your* personal strength, pain, mobility, recovery etc? That may be a good way to have someone assess what really is best for your specific issue measured by how much you improve in Physical Therapy with the OK to lift again coming from them based on the evaluation and…

I just finished Physical Therapy in May for my back and my right rotator cuff and also lift doing OH presses and power presses. I just always go lighter on my shoulders and give them a break by modifying "presses" holding weight plates instead, so that I'm still getting the motion/push and benefits(some of them, at…

Menstrual changes due to "increased exercise" or high levels of exercise is one of the most common causes or irregularity. Weight loss and gain also causes fluctuations because losing or gaining are stressful to your body (even good stress) and "stress" levels also cause fluctuation. Now that you're maintaining, your body…

I'm very routine in general, so Monday - Friday I hold myself to doing 2 hours of live/instructed classes each day and then follow up with either weights or cardio for a 3rd hour minimum. Weekends I rest totally except for errands and chores. I find that my body responds better to my weekday routine when I take weekends…

Clearly OP doesn't realize many of us are hoisting the barbell onto our backs for lunges and squats as much as we are doing Zumba (which is amazing fun and excellent for you). Lots of people can love their chosen cardio as much as weights and vice versa. The more variety you have, the better your body will look and perform…

I'm boring now and make Flat Whites every morning with 1 shot of espresso per cup with the rest "Rich" Brewed. I whip 0% milk cold first in the mug and then just pour the coffee over when it's ready. If I'm indulging I add a bit of organic chocolate powder (for hot chocolate or whatever) and whip that into the milk first.…

I've been nearly living on "Love Crunch" Dark Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cereal (Vegan, Organic if you're concerned over that stuff). It's delicious and even turns the milk chocolate. Sadly, the boxes are tiny and it's hone in a heartbeat. I don't know if it's new... but it's new to me!

I hit Taco Bell and get 4 Crunchy Taco Supremes and slather them with Mild sauce. It's only something like 550 calories.

Yes, it's all over Facebook and Morning News shows. I wish they stocked cold groceries like Jet.Com does. I despise grocery shopping and would love to give Brandless all of my money to drop everything I need on my doorstep. I have an Amazon Prime membership, but Prime Pantry is the worst. I'm definitely going to give…

I agree. Cottage cheese is truly vile and considering my diet is 70% dairy... it has to be truly disgusting for me to hate a dairy item. Yogurt is freaking gross, too. I can only tolerate the 0% Fage because it tastes and smells like mostly nothing. I don't know how people eat this stuff.

I don't get the argument here. No one is blaming people for being fat. Stuff happens. But at the same time, no one on earth actually thinks fast good is "healthy" or "low cal" when they go and order a bacon cheeseburger with fries. They're well aware of what they're doing. So? That's not the fault of Fast Food tricking…
