I'm 23, but I play a 50-year-old on the interwebs. As far as you know.

Man or woman, divorce sucks. I was married 19 years, separated a year, divorced going on three. My problem has always been hating myself rather than directing my anger at my ex; it's frankly a problem I've had to come to terms with, this whole self-worth thing. Which is wrapped up with my identity. Which is wrapped up with…

I love using the Apple Watch and tracking the daily activity with it--and I've set it to automatically import activity into MFP. But I never eat any of my activity calories, so I don't get too worried about accuracy; it's more of a general guideline of activity than anything.

I do it. Smoked oysters and/or kippered snacks, at least a couple times a week. I rinse off the lids, and rinse out the tins, when done. And I put them in the outside recycling container right away so the smell doesn't linger. By and large, it seems to take care of the smell. Does nothing for the people who are disgusted…

I think this is a general meme on here, as I'm in the same boat. Lost 60, stopped tracking, gained back 30. Or considering the weight I put back on while not tracking, maybe it's safe to say I'm actually the boat.

You are not my typewriter, but you could be my demon moving forward through flaming doors.

I'm gonna go with "weight challenged." Hey, many of us struggle with self-worth; in those instances, it's better to listen to those who care about you more than that voice inside you.

Point of clarification: I'll settle for carnies. Oh, okay, everyone is welcome. The more the merrier, as they say! Except when it comes to pounds. Unless, um, you're one of those people trying to gain weight...in which case I can be of great help to you, as I'm something of an expert on the subject.

Prodigal son returning home to MFP after a long break; please take me back, MFP family. I'm open to all ages, sexes, and species.

Of course you can have more than one soulmate in a lifetime. But the magic doesn't find you when you specifically go looking for it; you have to get out, meet people, and let the magic find you. Annnndddd...you don't tell yourself your one true soulmate is in your past. "One of" your true soul mates, okay, but acknowledge…

Working in downtown Spokanistan even as we speak. Well, not really working. Because I"m on MFP. But AT work.

Protein first. I try to have protein with anything I eat...helps balance out the carbs, and manages spikes/drops in blood sugar, which can lead to that hunger. That said, I think there's something to be said for volume. I know it's about calories, but sometimes I just need to eat volume to make it feel like I'm really…

I've had a Nike Fuel Band for a year, and I'm a fan overall. It's easy and unobtrusive to wear, and I like to be able to see patterns in my activity. I know a lot of people love the FitBit wrist band, which seems very similar, and lets you track sleep patterns as well...and I believe you can get an app in the MFP App…

Sounds like a definite NSV to me...and a great one at that!

Hi. I'm Willie. I'm an online stalker. I live in my mother's basement. I collect unemployment and medical disability. Freakin' doctor says something about "Bipolar Disorder" every time I go see him. I like to huff gasoline. Where are the ladies?

The opposite side of the coin also comes into play. It's not worth losing weight to please someone else...because he'll never be pleased anyway. As you lose weight, he'll become more jealous, needy and demanding as he perceives he has less control over you. So you'll end up in the same place.

My motivation is a picture, as well...but more of an internal picture. I've never been able to think of myself as an "athlete," to be able to say it and believe it. So I have this vision of being able to say "I'm an athlete" and keep a straight face while doing it. When I can do that, I figure I'll be in pretty good shape.

A good question. I didn't really leave. I started over with a new profile, thinking I should do it all myself and really knuckle under with a profile that didn't reflect the weight I'd lost. You know, act as if I were just starting out with my weight loss. But I stopped logging regularly, and didn't have the motivation to…

They ask questions. :)

You have a memorial service.

Obviously, Brixton, you're one of those people who know the difference between their ashes and a hole in the ground.
