Update, I go to Fitness Works on Higley and the 60. You will find me in the free-weights and the ellipticals.

Yeah, I'll stop complaining about my struggles now. Way to go brother Todd!

Hello Tricia, Good to see a new face in the group! That is cool that you hike. I am near San Tan. Is there any good hiking there? I never looked. I also use map my fitness. I tried 2 other apps first but this seemed to be the best for my needs. - Brando

I forgot to comment that this is saved in the food database as "Easy Turkey Meatloaf (Brando's Homemade)"

I commented before reading the article. I didn't accurately understand skinny jeans. Carry on! Nothing to see here!

My wife and I have different philosophies on this matter. She looks for ways to satisfy her cravings with 0-carb, 0-fat and/or 0-cal alternative foods. I just try avoiding high fat/sugar/cal foods completely. For me, it is easier to dismiss those foods completely when I don't consider them food anymore. If I have not…

Woo Hoo!

I totally understand household pressures and temptations. I'm sorry about that. I hope you over come those. Welcome to our group!

That has to be an awesome feeling! Congratulations!

The man should definitely reciprocate. If he does not put into the relationship that is a problem. I just don't think someone should commit to a man who they find unattractive and then expect them to change their appearance afterwards.

^Made me laugh. We'll see how this season turns out. To the other's. The OP asked about opinions. I provided mine and my reasoning. Sorry if it offended. Sometimes we can be sensitive about our poor life-choices.

Hell no. Keep it the way G*d left it. Simple, beautiful, classy and perfect. If I liked that kinda thing I would just have married a public bathroom stall.

Kirkland Signature™ Men's Boxer Brief 4 pk. These are bomb.com. This is a Costco brand. I have other brands in my mix/matched collection but I always save these for my heavy workout (incuding bicycle riding) days.

Now that I ranted. I manscape. I use my clippers and put a 2-guard on it for my chest/belly/shoulders. I clip shorter in the unseens. I just didn't want to tell the OP that because I don't want her thinking she has the right. My clipping is my personal choice and not the choice of my wife.

*** Paraphrased *** I found a man but I want a different man so I must change him. In fact, it sounds like she wants him to be a woman.

I ride my bike. I like in Mesa, AZ so it is definitely HOT! I started off with early mornings or nighttime rides but eventually I conditioned myself to the heat. Yesterday I was biking in 112 temps. I was with my wife and she couldn't take it (near heat stroke) but she is used to the air conditioned gym. So yeah, I think…

Personally? I don't belong to a gym because, except for the ellyptical (which I miss,) I found I can do anything without a membership. I bicycle, walk/jog, hike and swim outside. I "step" inside. That pretty much covers my cardio. I do all my lifting in the garage with a weight rack but another great, indoor, leg workout…

Are you just looking for nearby gyms? or are you looking for specific classes? There is a gym right on Higley and Baseline. There is a YMCA on Recker and Baseline. An LA Fitness on Greenfield and the 60. An Orange Fitness on Val Vista and Baseline (in Dana Park.) There is a huge gym, forget the name but "Fitness" is in the…

I am a huge fan of kettlebells. Intense workout with limited equipment. buy a DVD or you-tube it. Eventually you can make your own routine.

I do love it. I love getting outside. I love the endorphines afterwards and I love being able to take in more calories.

My wife is doing MFP with me and she is my biggest crush. Love my baby! <3 #relationshipshowoff

Spices. I don't log them. Also, I don't log the pink sweeteners I use in my coffee. Pretty much everything else.

I had the pain and looked into shorts. It took me awhile to shop so before I finally purchased shorts my butt stopped feeling it. I ride at least a half-hour almost every day and don't feel it anymore.

I met a couple pretty cool people so far from this thread. I'll re-post. I'm looking for friends who with a positive attitude who regularly excercise, log, comment etc. I"m looking to lose another 30 lbs. I don't starve myself, I lift, hike, walk and bicycle. AZ friends would be a bonus. Oh yeah, and profile photos are…

TY for your service

I like how you value your family.

Great cheekbones!
