There are people that wouldn't?!?

LOL if only life worked in neat logic like that! :wink:

@Brandon0523 - Nick Mangold in his healthier days @ jeanHermida, I'll take Ginger Spice! What I usually get is DJ Tanner. Not grown up, beautiful Candice Cameron, but chubby cheek DJ Tanner from 1992. LOL :bigsmile:

I had that experience for the first time. I belong to NYSC and they have an express line of machines - basically it's about 12 machines you do one after the other for a full body workout. There was no one else around, so after I finished my cardio I started at machine 1 (as a normal person would do). So about 60 seconds…

Hahahaha and I thought I was an 80's hair band loser for seeing him post Juanita Croucier (although misspelled) for me and thinking is this dude trying to tell me I look like the bassist for Ratt?!? Then when I saw Stephanie Pearcy, I realized what he was doing. There's a rule the kids in my family have to live by... funny…

@skinuppinup - Lindsay Lohan around the time of Mean Girls (aka "before")

I've gone to a lot of hockey games after work where I'm wearing a dress and no one that knows me would ever contest that I'm not a real hockey fan. If it were a date where I had time to plan, it'd depend upon the team. Mets game would be more like #1 and Yankees would be more like #2. I have a Mets jersey, but since I'm…

Brooklyn here too... feel free to add me. :)

Definitely Danza Kuduro and Dale Don Dale! I speak practically no Spanish, but love, love, love reggaeton, bachata, etc. Here's my current set for the elliptical (closest I come to running): Daddy Yankee: La Despedida, Lovumba, Ven Conmigo Wisen y Yandel: Sexy Movimento, Rakata DJ Laz: Move, Shake, Drop Nina Sky: Oye Mi…

LaVanila's Vanilla Summer. I was in Sephora yesterday and saw these... oh yum. Here's the description: Breathtaking sunsets meet the sounds of lapping waves in this limited-edition summer fragrance. Escape and experience the irresistible, long-lasting summer blend of fresh mango, juicy pineapple, creamy coconut milk, and…

Yep, I have! I bought some for my sister in the Irish imports store. :) I should have bought it when I was in Ireland - holy mark up! Mine are: Daytime: VS Pink with a Splash Warm & Cozy Evening: Black Amethyst, Bath & Body Works

This is interesting... I went to a doctor last year who specialized in weight loss. She weighed me, took blood then immediately handed me a photocopy of a set plan for 800 calories a day and told me I should come back in 2 weeks. I'm 5'1" and I was 170 at the time, so I was obese but not morbidly. I took my…

How is anyone supposed to guess what is more attractive to any individual person? My best friend and I have the same reaction to a tall German (her) and a short Puerto Rican (me). I wouldn't skip a pic of my friends and me just because someone might find one of them more attractive. if you like and they're single, message…

Me too! I'm in with you guys! :)

I was using sparkpeople and my sister was using MFP. She showed me how to use the barcode scanner to add food and that appealed to the part of me that's always looking to do less work, so I made the switch. Then I told another one of our sisters and now three of us are on. :)

Ahhhh, I totally know where you're coming from! I used to go to WW with my girlfriend and the pounds fell off her, 2 to 3 a week consistantly. She hit goal within 2.5 months. I was losing, just slower and not as visible as hers. After we'd weigh in, she'd be all excited about her numbers and ask to see mine. I'd to hide my…

Absolutely! When I went to my rheumatologist and told him about the diet, he went ballistic. I didn't go back. The sad thing is she's an MD here in Brooklyn that bills herself as an obesity doctor. Her plan was a photocopied page that everyone gets and she didn't take any of my medical conditions into consideration. Bad…

I went to a doctor for weight loss and was prescribed Phendimetrazine Tartrate, 35mg 30 min before every meal and an 800 calorie a day diet. I lost 11 lbs in 2 weeks, but not sure if it's from following the diet so strictly or the pills. I didn't last when I went back and she said it wasn't a jump start program, I'd need…

Definitely pre-planning is the top priority. Read the menu or call the restaurant and ask if they can tell you their specials. Most places (I'm in NYC, so this may or may not be true where you are) post their menus online. The key to ordering without inspiring any questions or raised eyebrows is to know exactly what you…

I have lupus - my physical therapist had me doing pilates (until I lost the good health insurance, blah). It was great for improving my flexibilty, no impact and my range of motion in my joints improved a lot. I'm a huge fan of the elliptical for cardio since it's pretty much no impact and burns a lot of calories, but it…

I'm in this niche too... I'm 38, single and have no children. It makes it even worse that I have no one but myself to blame for the sabotaging! :grumble: I'm definitely with you, cinsuccess, on the not turning 40 unhappy with my body. Every year that passes the little aches get a bit more annoying, now's the time to fix…
