All things in moderation, including moderation. I haven't given up my beer. But I only allot earned calories to beer. So I might have to wash the car, mow the grass, run, lift weights, or more in order to justify my habit.

Pizza. Cheesecake. Pizza. Oh, and Pizza.

There was that little episode I had with the French courtesan, 23 pounds of strawberry jam, a tricycle and a pair of dice. But it is such a common tale I don't want to bore you with the details.

Grandpa: One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach, all the damn vampires.

About half of the lines from: The Jerk The Princess Bride And nearly as many from This is Spinal Tap Young Frankenstein A Christmas Story And honorary mention to "Dumb and Dumber" for "So you're saying there's a chance!"

It takes many many threads to create the tapestry that is MFP.

Norton Shores (Muskegon), Port Huron, back to Norton Shores, back to Port Huron, North Carolina (Army), Grand Rapids, Walker, Grandville, East Lansing, and now Dewitt.

I tell them it is simple: Watch 1000 hours of Teletubbies. They then decide it would be easier to diet and exercise.

Tip for guys regarding the classic loaded question from your beloved of "Does this dress make me look fat?" It is a trick question. Neither a yes nor a no will go unpunished. Even the seemingly innocent "You look great in that dress," or "That dress looks good on you" replies have pitfalls. You might be caught unawares…

It is interesting how some women are old-fashioned when it comes to perks, but nothing else. They believe in chivalry, but not the flip side of that antiquated equation. (There are also men who continue to treat women like chattel -- neither sex has a monopoly on sexist behavior) NOTE: I said "some women," not "all women,"…

Ditto

And if you have a period, you have a vagina. Woman. (sorry, wordplay runs around in my head like a misbehaving lad who knows no manners)

Wow. Being male, I have my preferences in a woman's body type, which I am not gonna add to this thread. I also have a preference of dark beer over pale, pizza over pasta, steak over fish, and small cars over large. This does not mean there is anything wrong or lacking in pale beer, pasta, fish, or big cars. I'm in no way…

Do you have a source for that difficult-for-me-to-believe information?

What she said.

Question: How do you drink your coffee. Answer: Orally, from a travel mug or ceramic cup. From a disposable cup only in an emergency, or at Starbucks. Ok, I guess that would be an emergency situation anyway. PS: Best friend calls the afore-mentioned establishment "FiveBucks"

One of my favorite summer movies. Joyce Hyser (now Joyce Hyser Robinson) is such a sweetheart. I've exchanged a few emails with her and she is always a class act. Although she was (and still is) quite the hottie, she says the bikini body in this pic is not hers!

Thankfully I have never seen nipple-shapes on the front of a woman's clothing or I would have either suffered permanent emotional scars, or have been immediately transformed into a leering lecher. Or not. I'm not discounting the chances that your gym has a leering lecher, but most of us guys are going to give nipple…

You clearly have the "inner athlete" that is needed to be a success on The Biggest Loser and I really hope to see you on the show!

Both my wife and I are looking at your pictures and hooting "Oh My God" and "Amazing!"

I almost got sucked down the drain when I let the water out of the tub. .... well at least I was afraid I would ... :bigsmile: Actual answer: Wore the belt I wore 30 years ago when I was in the army, and in the best shape of my life. And it was loose.

Thanks you for your perspective. For those in doubt, this message (and the message following by Mallory) is what disagreeing looks like.

You said " it seems very petty that you would insinuate it is." That is not a personal attack? That is polite? I guess you learn something new every day.

Shawna -- Don't be hard on yourself, be proud of yourself. You are willing to re-evaluate based on input. So many of us just are unable to grow as people.

I think you have done a fine job of defining petty. Your opinion noted.

The only thing holding me back is that ZERO people want to take or see such pictures.

Got divorced. (She got her wish: "less Paul") Got a guitar. (A Les Paul) Lost weight (again ... "less Paul")
