Noted. Personally haven't experienced these deplorable examples of ill-socialised men, however, I did hear about this recurring episode amongst some women who were dating back in the '90s (East Coast). Lacking the basics of social graces & etiquette for some is rife from what I'm seeing from yours and Nooshi's sharing.

Pity you've not had positive experiences out here. By men from elsewhere, are you referring to out-of-State quality men who're contracted to SoCal for a time?

You deserve better than those specimens of SoCal jerks you've had the misfortune of meeting.

I fear false flags' more than any red flag, 'cause where there's room for recovery with one post impact, the other, not so much.

Appreciate it @aokoye @acpgee and @777Gemma888. It actually worries me that a good majority of quality food or quality discussion and product/lifestyle threads aren't on the Board anymore. Why this very one was started by me. Some of us aren't professionally trained. This was intended to create a community for budding home…

By preference, I ONLY drink water, but I will occasionally enjoy 3 cups of green tea or chai tea, which I'd only just started with again for the past week. When having to consider drinking water when you'd otherwise opt for other beverages, you must first not regard it like a herbal concoction of torture. Consider the…

Appreciate your invaluable deconstruction, for having enough of a care, to commit your cautions. The last print I could not ignore as I was browsing through the pages, was from "The Oprah Magazine," September, 2019 Friendship Issue, which featured an article titled, "Upright Citizens - Stand strong and tall with this…

Thumbs up@pillow case. To ward-off any more tangling issues, a loose plaited plait before pinning it up works wonders. Some prefer those hair protective caps, we aren't in favour of either.

Please do reassess your eating plan with significant added calories, equally mindful of your body's response to your menstrual cycle. For good measure consider (i) using a measuring tape, (ii) the use of a food scale, (iii) plus progressive photos, other than your weigh-ins.

In rolling laughs, for having only just rescued the baby-Daddy from last night's kidnapping lol The man left for the hospital thinking to just visit, never to return, 'til our arrival and exit lol He was so out of his element, claustrophobic ... THEN, when we (my sister and I, plus another Dad with his toddler son) were…

Sister-friend's baby-girl has finally arrived. Her first evening. Aunties' little girl she'll surely be, with how we're all fussing about lol

Friend requesting you soon after this Megan. Yoga is my discipline. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten around to riding. Snorkeling only at my end. Am not so much of a freediver like my late Dad, my sister and my brother.

Urgent care stat.

Idris is adorable, with that je ne sais quoi charm about him on the big screen, reminiscent of Jackson, Freeman, Jones, Roundtree, Gossett and Turman. I did that years ago now over some other actor. I'd loathed rice. Watched a movie, where the lead helped himself at the table, leisurely eating from a bowl of rice (?) or…

That's such great news. What a good start to your weekend.

Sexual abstinence by choice and not circumstantial. I'd walked away from my 1st American fiance because I lived this discipline (throughout my 20s and much of my 30s), still a student and a young professional. He needed intimacy and caved. His uncles tried to salvage what I'd accidently privied, but it was too late.

I'd had a horrifying experience, going the traditional dating/courtship route, where at the very end, I was stuck in a moment of seeing what I could not unsee, which took me years to get over. If he'd told me about it from the get-go, I would've held on, for I'm not all about that either. His just was especially…

Absolutely. Politeness and courtship are drag-outs. I'd learnt the hard way as you well know, how that turned out for me, that one time I thought to, sticking to the parameters of decency, only to be shell-shocked. With modernity and the fast-paced dating with insurmountable options, we all deserve to know the quality of…

Doing very well thank you, given this weekend's priority; Waiting on a friend who was in labour this Labour Weekend, which further punctuated the feat awaiting the mother-to-be. How are you faring? Good morning PWHF and Jo. Just as well, most of us relish our work.

Good morning everyone. Contented now with how much I could catch up on the Main Board, time-permitting. @PaperDoll_ and @slimgirljo15 and @Cutemesoon ... ROFL ... You girls best be behavin' Good crazy you have going for you there @Sentinel_UK

I'm laughing at this so hard! I wanted to head out there Islander-New Year's style drumming to drown their noise pollution ... And to catch their reactions.

Welcome back! What's accommodating about MFP are the quality of supportive friends you'll collect, who will potentially relieve you of some struggles, with their off-the-hip tips; What they themselves have applied to manage their preferred eating plans. What sorts of cakes do you like?

Was just about to reply to your original post Adam, until I read your latest reply. Firstly, congratulations to you and your supportive wife, excited for you both, with how you're steadfast with the pursuit of your health and fitness goals. It is obvious from having read all the responses, you can now commit to your…

Welcome to the board. By preference a gym workout always means strength-training concentrations. Am certain that what you'd opted for if you'd made it to your gym, was sufficient. Alternative practical and mobile-friendly considerations I'll recommend in good conscience are: * Suspension training * Boxing (or other combat…

So much THIS.

You may consider trying zero-incline next time and if it is still an issue, please consider seeing a specialist as suggested above.

Some tennis shoes IMO are like reliable trail running shoes. What kind of surface were you walking on for that duration?

How's your footwear?

For some of us at our heaviest, working out at all necessitated what many will do on a weekly basis (weekly pampering), only daily because when having to move one's body aggressively (as it would be interpreted depending on your mass), be it a heavy-load or freight-weight, the skin needs extensive protocols, for your…

When on maintenance, I never feel the urge because the calories always were more than sufficient. Since my recomposition from last August, I'd started out needing to snack on a fat bomb or 2 or a low-carb chunky chocolate cookie even a non dairy creamsicle, however since around March of this year, I've simply weaned myself…
