Like clockwork.

This is a great point. Nearly all current social media platforms have 'muting' and 'blocking' For instance if some MFP user constantly is a 'reply guy' to nearly every post, a good social media platform would allow me to simply block them, and mute any replies. I don't want to be constantly pursued here by a user who…

It was just FDA approved for sleep apnea and next is Medicare adding it to approved treatments. That can't hurt the company's sales.

Even better. A nice tip.

That's handy, thanks.

Very inspiring. Congratulations.

I guess one good thing about changes MFP has made, MFP "Friends" are now not really functional. We can remove all of our friends, never add any new ones, and this current MFP experience will be identical. Sad, but MFP "Friends" no longer adds anything for us users. Sorry to hear you getting targeted....I wonder if it is a…

Good luck. I had a MOH on my head. They got it on the first wack. No stitches. Later that night I went on a first date. Things progressed, things were nice, then things fell apart. After four months the relationship ended last week. The surgical site is nearly invisible. So the recovery time lasted just a bit longer than…

That's a good week ... keep at it!

Jim, good luck on your 100-days! What's the story with stopping the meds?

To sow less confusion "...join a group thread (like in Motivation and Support) ..." is confusing, because you are using the word 'group' and that is a misnomer. MFP has a big, worthless, unused, confusing feature called 'Groups' which do not serve any of us users. There about 30K defunct, unused Groups in MFP. On the…

Yesterday I lifted weights for the first time. I've gone into a gym before, but being there with the intention of resistance training was a first.

I think that is simply false. I believe "it was used a lot, and we couldn't figure out how to monetize it" is a more accurate reason.

My newly minted "ex" was a self-proclaimed "Carnivore" it's a new offshoot of Keto. A few doctors and influencers informed her. She lost some weight, and talked about feeling better. I'm big and didn't really want to criticize or judge or nit-pick, but it was strange. I asked about fiber. ("fibre" for our EU based English…

First morning in downtown Las Vegas. I got up and went to the hotel gym for :30 minutes. I'm feeling responsible.

I love yoga and am almost completely incapable of practicing yoga at home, alone. 99.9% of all my yoga has been in a class with a teacher. It's a mental thing. Today, I did a :30 minute at home practice.

Today I dusted off my yoga mat and did the base/intro level series of poses. With creaking muscles and shortened breath, got through it. Day 1.

Lynch, I'm next. Derm scrapped something off the top of my head. It was cancerous. I have a MOH surgery in a couple of weeks. What is it? What happens?

💲💲💲💲 Nope. This is a labor of love. Not one penny. It was a bad joke. 💲💲💲💲

The paymaster withheld our checks this week, so we're on a lowkey strike.

Nope. A lot of material, we're digesting.

Hello everyone, Where to start, first thanks for thinking of me, it's touching. Long story short I'm okay. Reading about @shanaber really sucked. Coming on here last year she reached out and I felt a Southern California kinship and appreciated her support. Who knows what's going with her, all I can do is hope for the best.…

I'm a big fan of flame weeding using LPG, BBQ gas, propane, etc. It's fun, but takes a couple of season to really rid all weeds. Best done in late winter, early spring when weeds are small and germinating.

You are unquestioningly the best. Your welcoming sealed it for me feeling this was a safe space to share my fumbles and foibles with running. When you can't run that's on the rest of your fam here to get the running done for you. Know we'll keep the sole side down and the knees up...we're all getting it done together. Chris

Though perhaps with some extra pounds overall it looks like you are making the most of your 64 year 357 days.

No debate here, that's the coolest thing ever. I am wishing you all the best for success and contentedness.

Do you want to join the group of people who are all just now trying it?
