Other reasons... teeheehee!! Love it. 5tephoscope, welcome to Chicago!

can i add "bumping and grinding via group post" to my cardio diary today???

bump (and grind)

Three words: Dump. Him. Now. You are young, you have your whole life ahead of you, and you can do so much better. It sounds like the "mean" thing and the suspicious behavior are a classic redirection technique. No one deserves to be treated like that at all. He has issues and they're not yours. Sorry but I've seen several…

I am loving all the sports bra suggestions here! I usually wear 2 so I don't give myself black eyes and/or concussions whilst working out. ;) Going big-boob sports bra shopping this weekend! Thank you.

I'm in! Sounds like fun. Let me know where/what time when you work out the details. :)

No color preference, I'd wear any. Agreed about supportive sports bra! I like the pocket idea too.

Gonna sign up. :) I like the idea of a meet-up after it, too.

1. This thread is awesome. 2. I'm STILL laughing @ the penis quote. Brilliant.

This thread rocks! You are all awesome. I needed the laughs! :D Nice to see all the guys checking in (& their nice profile pics). :) Signed, Single 30something in Chicago

Chicago :)

Yeah, boys, come out & show yourselves. Er...wait, that... ok, you know what I mean.

I'm definitely interested! It sounds fun. I'm not really a runner either; I do jogging & power-walking or moderate walking. I've never done anything like this before & would love to try it!

Thanks for the great tips, all!

I think any kind of "adult" cereal is ok, just not the sugary "kiddie" types? Something about the combo of grains & milk to soothe the body, like comfort food. I don't know, maybe it's just a physiological trick but I love cereal so I figure, what the heck? Good extra fiber/nutrients regardless. I've tried chamomile tea…

I've been experiencing sub-par sleeping the past week or two (since I've been using MFP). Otherwise, I feel great--but it's taking me quite a while to fall asleep at night & I wake up once or twice. Someone recommended having a bowl of cereal an hour before bed, so I'm going to try that. Would love any other tips! I…

I'm a former dancer too, & am getting back into it slowly but surely. I just borrowed the Yoga Booty Ballet DVD series from a friend & am excited to try them! I have done salsa & ballet videos in the past, too. I'm also working on my flexibility again (slowly) through yoga. I'd love some more recommendations too. :)

Hi, everyone! Nice to meet you. My name is Emily and I live in Chicago. I studied dance for about 18 years. Mostly classical ballet, but also tap, modern, jazz, & a bit of ballroom. I eventually quit my studies due to too many tendonitis issues & podiatry problems. Over the years I've really missed dancing. I have gotten…

Hi, everyone! Nice to meet you. I'm Emily. I'm 33 & I live on the NW side. I've been using MFP for a couple of weeks now & I'm loving it. My goals are to lose 30 lbs of "skinny fat", become more active, reclaim my confidence, & lower my cholesterol. I've been jogging, power-walking, & dancing/doing aerobics for exercise.…

Hi, I enjoyed reading your post and a few points really resonated with me. I feel like my struggle has been on and off, too. The pendulum effect. I just got back into using MFP, too. I joined about 7 months ago but didn't use it much because my mind was otherwise occupied, and over that time I gained some more stress…
