While I would never say anything - unless it was someone I know - I think it's icky not to wash your hands or use sanitizer after using a public restroom. I am a germaphobe. I'm aware no one is sticking their hands in their urine stream (well maybe not no one who the heck knows) but you are touching all the surfaces (door…

I mean that this should always be the case regardless of gender. Gender has nothing to do with it. If a person feels threatened to the point that they need to defend themselves or others they should have that right regardless of whether the threat is a man or a woman. I'm not necessarily talking about a face slap - which…

I think it's better just to take gender out of the equation... If I hit a 250 pound woman - I don't expect her not to hit me back just because I'm smaller, so why should I expect that of a man? Why should anybody wait till the other person is "kicking their tail"? If someone hit's me I will defend myself whether they are…

There's no sign in at ours. If someone is taking a headcount it's so discreet I've never seen it.

I guess I don't care either way because there's no enforcement - anyone could be on here at any age. They could be being themselves or have any type of made up identity so it doesn't much matter. This is the internet - you can be anyone and so can they.

This is true. Someone I know hit her husband with a frying pan - and someone else intervened because it got so bad. Her husband (now X husband) did nothing because she was like 90 pounds. Yes - if he defended himself he could have injured her BUT she was hitting him with a FRYING PAN - hard. Her X had every right to defend…

Double standards indeed. Women can be just as violent as men and men should have the right to defend themselves. It's not OK for a woman to abuse a man and physical violence in any form is abuse.

Yes it works - just stay within your calorie limits. Deprivation I find just causes me to binge later. A slice of pizza now and then isn't going to make you "unhealthy" either. If I want something I try to only make or purchase the portion I should have - like a small snack size bag of doritos instead of a family size huge…

I've seen far worse.... it's just a lovely perk to shared bathrooms. I've often been driven to run from floor to floor in my building looking for a suitabe place to go. It's icky but it gets me moving!

Tormaresca Neprica Puglia, Italian Red great for under 20 bucks. Depends what you like.... I can find great bottles of red under 20 easily.

BOTH! Just move it! I run till my body says stop and otherwise walk at every opportunity - in addition to formal exercise this means walking to the store VS driving... parking further away from entrances etc.

It looks normal around here. Plenty of runners in a base layer then shorts including myself sometimes! The base layer keeps me warm but is skin tight so.... the shorts cover my butt and the combo is a lot more comfy than heavier pants. You won't look silly - you'll look like a runner :flowerforyou:

Black tag (20 a month) is transferrable. My husband changed his "home" gym a couple mos ago. It's good at any PF but there's a visit limit on those outside of your home gym or gyms. Go to PF and have them transfer it - they can do it there in person.

I started with a very small Analon set years ago - still have/use all pcs of it... and added individual pcs from there because the bigger sets had unnecessary pcs and lacked what I really would use - I don't like T-Fal at all, found their pans cheap and quickly needed replacing. I have a Calphalon roaster which is great. I…

I don't like stairs... I would rather run for miles than walk up say 15 flights of stairs. Anything 5 floors or below no problem, but I just don't enjoy trudging up any further than that. I'm on floor 8 - I have forced myself to take the stairs but never enjoy it.

Have never been a morning person... I am up at about 530 every work day and hate it. Been doing it for years, for 5 of them had to be up at 5am because had a longer commute. It hasn't gotten better or easier even with coffee. I'm just not a morning person but I force myself to get up. I also don't go to be early enough for…

True. It's possible to express an opinion without insulting others. Some need to learn how to do that. I don't necessarily think they type things with malice. If you want to look like the bikini contest winner - go for that! If you want to look like the plus sized model - then do that! No need to insult one another.…

Piercings I like the usual - I don't love the eyebrow or lip piercings but they look OK on others... you can always remove them too and it's pretty much invisible. Gauges I personally don't like the look on anyone I have seen with them. My nephew had to have expensive ear surgery to fix his lobes back to normal... to the…

I don't think anything on the treadmill really mimics outside. I run different outside - much more free and faster. I like running outside and prefer it. I wouldn't say it's harder - it's different. It's harder for me on the treadmill because for me it's such a bore unless something really interesting to me is on TV which…

I just did it for the 1st time - week 1 using 8 pd hand weights... sweating my butt off, tougher than I thought it would be!

Then I'd drop it and move on. You have other things to concern yourself with like your uncle. I hope he is OK. The older I get, the less patience I have for those all about me drama type friends....

Well too late but I would have told her up front it had nothing to do with her and what it did have to do with... why did you not explain then? She's basically not speaking with you over absolutely nothing. I would never have agreed to remove the post because it makes it look like you were guilty of what she said... but…

My husband is doing it in VT in a couple months... I haven't seen him do much training lol. But he seems not to train for anything... he runs like 5 miles at a time a few days a week - and prefers the treadmill. Yet he seems not to have a problem in any outdoor races or marathons doing this. I've never seen him seriously…

I shower before work. If I work out at lunch I shower after... takes all of 10-15 mins to shower and change back for work (I do not wash my hair there. Sometimes I then workout again in the evening by going for a run or gym with my husband and then yes, I shower again, full shower at home. My lunch is an hour and sometimes…

South shore here - just south of Boston. Friend me if you want - we hike and get outdoors pretty often when weather permits, I love being outside!

:flowerforyou:

Here's another mile - you can do it! woo hoo!

Seriously... enough with the "EW's and ripping someone apart just because they don't want to look like your ideal. So so very negative... why are women so catty? The tanning was explained... it's because of the competition lighting and maybe it was a spray on tan? Who cares? I think no matter who's picture you put up - no…

I'm doing this starting tonight.... in addition to my other exercise. Needing to find more things to do @ home when short on time and to supplement when I run outdoors. We'll see how it goes!

Well you know there are plenty of women walking around looking like men who don't work out at all - so I don't really think fitness has much to do with it. I don't say ewwwwwww about them either - some women purposely want to look like men too. I don't, but they do so whatever makes them happy. I get it - it's a defensive…
