Funny thing is I knew what "AF" was... but it's only in this context that I finally figured out what TOM was! I always read it and thought "why is everyone hating on this Tom guy!?" But yeah, I weigh during my period, but I don't sweat it too much.

I've dated younger guys, and I would again. Probably within a limited range though. I'm 32... so maybe 26 or 27 at the YOUNGEST, and he'd have to be "mature" for his age.

This was exactly the situation in my my gym this morning!! Usually at 6:15 is empty. I usually have one empty treadmill on either side of me, but I was side by side with folks this morning. For their own sakes I hope they keep it up!! But, if I get a little more breathing room in a couple of weeks I won't cry too many…

Because, even though I'm American, I think that "real" football is the one that actually uses feet the most and is played by 90% of the globe. and I absolutely respect that you are completely free to disagree with me... I knew the apology would piss people off. It's not what I intended, but that doesn't make a difference…

Probably not particularly. Just when people start spouting about "our football" is the "real" football it demonstrates (IMO) a real cultural ignorance... that's my point.

Wow... it's amazing how quickly people can jump to conclusions, and how nasty people can be just because they're safe and anonymous behind their computer keyboards. many individuals, including many fine people here, are probably very culturally savvy... but generally... sorry, we just aren't as a society very aware of…

No, not at all. Sorry I wasn't clear. MANY people legitimately do NOT know that what we call Soccer is called Football EVERYWHERE ELSE. That's all I meant. I'm not one to say the (American) Football is better or worse that "Soccer"... I don't know why one has to be better. I was just saying it's sad sometimes how much we…

YES!! ALL OF THESE THINGS PLEASE!!!!

Saints vs Patriots! YES... and the Saints can dominate!!!

I adore American football (like... I have the day preseason starts marked on my calendar) BUT.... I know darn good and well that Soccer is the "real" football... in reality calling AF "foot"ball doesn't make a ton of sense and I know how exhausting football/soccer is to do. Mad respect, and I apologize for the general…

And in regards to American Football... ^^ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love my Saints!!!!

I haven't followed it regularly in a LONG time... but I'm partial to Manchester United... has to do with a boy I liked once. The boy didn't last, but the team stuck! :tongue:

Some of us women live for football season... and don't participate in women only posts. Just saying :ohwell:

Actually. 17lbs is only since finding MFP... But in reality, from my heaviest it looks more like this... 48 lb Carp!

I agree!!!

lets see if I can do this... 17lb salmon (I'm from the Pacific Northwest, we measure everything in Salmon anyway) :tongue:

I knew the ladies would understand me on this. Thanks!! Still making me smile :happy:

It's different for everyone, but here are things I try: -brushing my teeth -drinking a couple glasses of water -if I'm genuinely hungry, I have a small bowl of a very lightly sweet cereal (something with a lot of fiber and protein) those are my tricks. Hope it helps.

I know this thread is old, but I just searched it to see if anyone had asked this question before. I appreciate the input! I thought about gloves too, but have avoided them for this ^^reason precisely. Guess I just need to suck it up!

That's tough... I'd say work on finding ways to prepare things in a way you can tolerate (and hopefully begin to like) and stretching yourself in the area of taste. But some "sneaky" ways to get veggies in. -Boil cauliflower and mash it in to some potatoes (equal parts). -I blend spinach and/or kale into fruit smoothies,…

I guess I haven't been around enough to hear about actuall couples happening. I see plenty of flirting... but (for the most part) that's just fun!! I thought the same thing about "who's your crush." I've got less than 20 friends, and 2 of them are guys (great guys, but I haven't known anyone here that long!) There's one…

I've gone on three dates with guys I met on online dating sites. One was comedically awful!! (he actually asked me if I'd ever been hand-cuffed, and if I had a zombie apocalypse survival plan!). The other guy I went on two dates with, but he (unfortunately) thought my consenting to kiss him was an invitation for a lot…

Wow, honey! I struggled with an eating disorder in college (and well into my 20s)... it's a vicious cycle, and hard-to-damn near impossible to beat on your own. You said you're in college? Does your campus have counselors available? If so... PLEASE consider talking to someone. Breaking free from that kind of cycle is…

^^ THIS... This is why I'm planning to bust my a** is the gym tomorrow morning... there will be much (much) wine before midnight... and after...

I'm in love with my Community Center! They've got a fitness room (cardio, weights, etc), an awesome pool, a gymnasium, and even a roller skating rink in the basement!! It's $28/month and includes Boot Camp classes, water aerobics and a few others. There are other more specialized classes for an additional fee. It's 1 1/2…

I'm looking forward to feeling comfortable (as anyone can) in airline seats! AND I'm excited to wear sundresses! And, if I'm being honest, I'm really looking forward to feeling attractive and confident naked... just saying! :happy:

ALL of the above!! (and apparently I'm late for all the "good stuff" too :grumble: ) Everyone's journey is different, but I feel like on MFP people know that. And the other side of that coin is, that even though we're all getting there in our own ways, we understand more of each other's struggles and joys. I'm so grateful…

Get's the point across anyway! :smile:

I joined in the group here... do I need to join tumblr too? I'm fine doing it, just haven't before.

Just gonna come out and say it, you are a cutie! :blushing: BUT more than that you seem to have your thinking straight. I mean you're thinking through what you want out of life in general, and in the midst of this "transformational time". I think that says lots of good things about you. I know guys who never stopped to ask…
