I wish I was having NSVs. Unfortunately the clothes have been agreeing with the scale. The one NSV I've seen is that my endurance is much better than it used to be. Four miles is a piece of cake, it just requires me to dedicate the time for it (as opposed to driving). Before school ended for summer, I had days where I'd…

BTW, is anybody else getting really frustrated with Davina? When it started she was one of my favorites, but it seems like now every time that Sean does something that is outside of her ideal of her fairytale prince, she just throws up her hands and says "why am I even bothering with you?" and doesn't want to accept that…

I think that's a really good idea, or at least give updates at the end of the last show. I mean, it usually takes MONTHS for them to go through all of the footage and put it together into the show on TV today. These couples were married in Dec 2014, so now it's over 6 months later. (They might do this, I won't know until…

^^^ I love that! And I'll definitely wave my magic wand and give it a shot next time. Thanks for the chuckle :D

Is there some magic way to easily spot the married ones??? I was just talking to this guy (profile said single) for 5 days and over 300 long messages of platonic conversation. We really hit it off. I was trying to find an old childhood friend of my dad's online and thought "hey, why not google him?" It turns out he's…

I'm not talking about moving to be with my SO. I haven't met the right guy yet. Judging by the guys I've met/dated/talked to in my area over the last 3 years, it's not going to happen here. I'm considering moving partly to increase my odds of meeting the right guy (i.e. a little more cultured than the mudding, trucking,…

I've tried a few long distance relationships that fizzled quite spectacularly. In general LDRs are really hard and take a LOT of time and effort. I'm usually the one willing to work my hardest for the relationship and so far the guys have been the ones who let things fall apart. There's also the issue of meeting people…

One of my friends just posted this on Facebook http://www.wired.com/2015/05/tinder-users-not-single/?mbid=social_fb Now, I've never used Tinder but I have used online dating in the past. Crunching some numbers using their statistics, I figure that only 1.8% of their users fit what I'm looking for for where I'm living…

I wonder how much of what we're seeing is edited for the drama. That said, if a guy treated me like Ryan has been treating Jess (when she was trying so hard to communicate telling her "I'm not going to tell you why I'm mad, you should know! Any decent person would know!") I would be PISSED and probably feel like it was…

Seattle is one of the places I'm considering moving to. I currently live about 50 miles away and that's where e-harmony found the nearest matches for me.

Alaska? "The odds are good, but the goods are odd"?

This is how cream is defined in the U.S. Half and half (10.5–18% fat) Light cream (18–30% fat) Light Whipping cream (30–36% fat) Heavy cream (36% fat or more) (or 36+ grams of fat per 100ml) Heavy cream is not the same as the British double cream. Double cream has 48% butterfat, 8% higher than the highest-fat cream…

Same here! That's why I started online dating, guys actually start chatting with me. In real life, in 7+ years of dating I've never even had a guy ask for my number. If they're interested, they sure hide it well.

(Guilty admission) I've been watching it and honestly, it's made me wonder if I should try to find some sort of matchmaker for myself; not for marriage at first sight, but at least for dating. They seem to be doing a lot better in their matches than I have in picking my own for the last several years.

It's a great article and really hits close to home for me too. My problem is that I can't ever tell if I'm sending off a just friends message. What are some other ways than the awkward [shuffle] "I actually like you" [kicks ground] discussion to give a guy that go-for-it vibe? If you're sending a back-off message, what do…

I definitely count my calories. My goal is 1200 cal a day and 15 g of carbs or under. I might go up to 20 g of carbs on occasion but I try to keep that under control. My metabolism adjusts really quickly and I have been known to plateau or even gain at 1200 cal a day pre keto. My goal now is that even if I have a splurge…

As someone who's worked in a college cafeteria for years, go ahead and ask! With so many allergies out there, we get asked every day. It's not that hard for them to go look at the label and see if there're fillers or cornstarch. Burgers are easy, ask for it wrapped in a lettuce leaf (bunless). Ask them if sauces are gluten…

Guys who message me "So can we have sex?" I seriously got one of those a few days ago. Drug use is a big one for me and anyone who says "in an open relationship".

@lologyr @laurenz @lkaoki Yes! Thank god I'm not the only one who feels like this! We are not alone!

Here's a random question, what's the expiration date for pictures on your online dating bio? How old is too old before it should be replaced with something more recent?

Ooh! I just saw this on the "surprise carbs yikes!!!" thread:

Have you seen these? http://fluffychixcook.com/basic-psylli-wraps-low-carb-gluten-free/ I use them all the time for tacos etc. The taste isn't quite the same as flour, but the texture is pretty good and they hold together really well so your taco doesn't disintegrate in your hands. I've also seen caulifower based ones (…

Actually, no it's not. He's an ex for other reasons :wink: but I have noticed a huge difference in how guys treat me based on weight. When I'm over 220, I become the invisible woman and instantly in the friend zone. On one hand, I almost don't want to get involved with somebody who wasn't attracted to me when I was…

Hi guys! I'm Kyla. I mostly read the forums on weekends, but that may change since I FINALLY figured out how to see them on the app. :) I've been doing low carb since mid September. One of my close friends was doing pre-bariatric weight loss and I sort of copied her high protein/low carb diet to start. I switched to keto…

Have you seen these http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/almond_thins.html ? Tatiianag13 - I miss popcorn too! I've read on suggestion to break up oopsie rolls in popcorn sized pieces and then dry them out in a dehydrator or a very low temp oven, but I haven't tried them yet.

I've always been off and on in my dating life. I dated some in high school and college, but then I had a crummy relationship (he was dating both me and my roommate for an entire year and telling each of us that the other was just a "friend") and I really gained weight so I swore off dating from age 19-29. I dated a few…
