Funny, I too was the one who suggested we open our marriage!

I can only answer this question from my own experience, but for myself and my husband, we have become more deeply connected, sexually and in life, since we have opened our relationship. While I always knew that sex did not always equal intimacy, it has become 100 times more clear what exactly intimacy is. It's the small…

You're exact words were "As a mother and a teacher, I do not believe an open relationship environment is condusive to safety and stability for children, no matter how it is conducted, and if you think you are hiding anything from your children, you are mistaken." That is passing judgment. You should try looking it up. You…

You want to sit here and claim that you're not judgmental? Really? Wow! At least we can own up to who we are, and what we believe, despite going against popular opinion.

I guess you would go and tell your 6 and 8 year old "Hey, me and your dad had the hottest, kinkiest sex last night"??? Yeah...my kids don't know, since they don't understand about sex yet. I never said I was PROUD of it...the sexual agreement between my husband and myself is just that. I don't boast about it to friends, I…

I am sorry he was so tactless. This is not what all open relationships are like...actually it's not what all MEN are like. Open relationship, closed relationship, either way, I hope your next boyfriend has some courtesy and tact, and treats you like the lady you deserve to be treated like!

I LOVE THIS! LMAO!! I know for some open relationships, there is more to it than this...in mine though, this is what it's all about, minus the participation (at least on an active level...he participates by knowing, and enabling).

THIS!! My husband is not more likely to leave me, just because he can sleep with other people! If he stops loving me, and falls for someone else, that's going to happen regardless of an open/closed relationship status! Really, how many monogamous married couples have broken up due to 1 spouse falling for another person? To…

I agree completely. If and when I am feeling jealous, I can talk to my husband about it. He ALWAYS offers to stop whatever (or whomever lol) is causing my jealousy, but for the most part, I think jealousy is MY issue to deal with. Stemming from MY insecurities. It helps me to talk it out with him. I think we can…

This, to me, is a fabulous description. Every single person has, or will be jealous at some point in their lives, it's about learning how to successfully handle it. Jealousy is called the "Green Eyed Monster" not the "Green Eyed Cupid". We better ourselves when we learn how to work past jealousy, whether it's in open…

Firstly, just NO. If I choose to raise my children to understand that people are different, relationships are different, and that it's their responsibility to live in a way that makes THEM happy, that's MY call...that's why I am the mom. But frankly, my kids have no clue, neither myself nor my husband "plays" at home,…

My husband and I have an open relationship. It's certainly not for everyone, and it is NOT something you want to do if you are hoping to "fix" a rocky relationship. To me, I had sex with people I didn't love before I got married, what's the difference with doing it after, in my opinion, sex is just sex, and I have always…

to FEEL sexy and confident and healthy!

Tats look the same to me...except the middle one (the one he actually took of himself in the mirror, as opposed to someone else taking it like the other 2), in which case they look the same back backwards. Look closer!

If you take out the fries, you will remove a bunch of fat and carbs from your diet, which could then be replaced with a healthier option like peanut butter, avocado, whole grain pasta, cheese. Oatmeal or eggs (or egg whites, or a combination of both, which is what I do) with a fruit for breakast would also be a decent way…

THIS!! My husband has always told me (for 10 years now), that I am beautiful, and sexy and basically his goddess! It's actually so bad that I can't ask him "Does this make me look bad?" or "Is my hair ok?" because he has never once, in 10 years, criticized the way I look. I can, and HAVE gone out for coffee with him, in…

WOW, that is a LOT of inches!!! WTG!!!

I have had a few cheap bars, and then last night I had one that I quite liked. It was an Isoflex, in a blue package. I believe it was Chocolate Peanut butter fudge or something like that, it almost had a coffee taste to it. It also contains 30g of protein, and 330 calories. I think I will be buying these ones from now on.

I went to Mixed Martial Arts Fitness last night....the first night I went resulted in 4 days where I couldn't sit down to pee...I had to fall down because my legs hurt so bad. I have been to 1 class since then, and then last night I went again. Last night we worked on legs....tons of squats, leg kicks, lunges...everything…

Even 50% off is too much for some people. Some people are breaking the bank just to try and eat healthy and get exercise in. A HRM is great if you can get one...if not, well people have been losing weight for far longer than HRM have been around. Also, I don't really think it's helpful to make people explain HOW broke they…

I go to a Mixed Martial Arts Fitness class, which MFP claims I burn 1041 calories in an hour. I think it's very over rated, so I log the class as an hour (despite the fact that it's actually 1.5 hours), and I typically eat back 30-50% of my exercise calories when I can. Sometimes, like last night, it was all I could do to…

Uh...Hi...hello...how ya doing?? ;)

I am 5'7 with a large bone structure (thanks dad) I am aiming for 160 for now, but my true goal is a healthy, strong body that I am happy with, regardless of what the scale says. 160 is just something to set my sights on to keep me going, because "thin and healthy" is just too vague for me, for now.

My doctor says to only eat about 4 eggs a week. I trust her implicitly, however I disregard this 1 piece of advice. I love eggs, I believe they are filling and healthy, so I eat eggs whenever I like. (I have no cholesterol problems, so i think she is just being cautious with her egg advice).

I would love to join! I always love a good challenge!

Try changing the foods you eat to slightly higher calorie foods, rather than changing the amount you eat. Incorporate avocados, nuts, peanut butter, etc, which are all a little more calorie dense, so help bring up your calories.

I weigh in the mornings, and officially once a week. Now, if my weight loss has been stagnant, or if I have been holding water, I will weigh every morning for a few days. If it's going well, I will instead way in the evenings once in a while out of curiosity. I weigh in the evenings because that means my "true" weigh-in is…

My advice would be to worry less about the number on the scale, and more about the cut of your body. For me, my "goal weight" is just a rough estimate, I would be perfectly happy to be 10lbs heavier, if I am lean, fit and strong. Muscle weighs more, per cubic inch, than fat. So if your lean, and fit, and heavier than your…
