It's funny that people are posting about how anonymity makes people *kitten* holes. While this is true, I am tempted to make a dummy account to ask a completely scientifically logical questions on here challenging well-known "bad weight loss facts" for fear of me or my real inbox getting flamed by people who are trolls or…

attitude ;-)

Sexy eyes! :-)

I actually thought it was an overestimate until I got my HRM. Granted, I've always tried to do my housework like it was exercise anyway (yes I dance around like an idiot, but at least I'm active and the HR is up!). I found MFP's number far lower than my own. So for the average person doing housework, I think their…

I wish my phone had a front-facing camera! :-)

I agree! I've been called "cute" a lot in life. It's time to bring the sexy back!

I do weight train, but it's mostly in using my own body as resistance, calisthenics and what not. I'm not on one of those fad programs like P90X and I am trying to do this without having to get a gym membership. My approach is simple and hopefully more sustainable. I'm just trying to be more active. I guess I have to up my…

Great Belgian!

@saxmaniac- I went to school just north of Syracuse and am from Buffalo originally. What's your bro in law's label?

Thank you for the advice! :-)

I know, right!? Totally rude. Look, if you don't like it , don't drink it. But just because people enjoy it, doesn't make them alcoholics!

Good choice! I'm a 15 year glenlivet french oak reserve fan. I get at least a double take every time I order a single malt neat. Love it!

@BigDog- Thanks for the advice! I will definitely keep that in mind when I get there. The closest brewpub I have is Mad Fox, just outside of DC. It's a pricey, but delicious gastropub that I cannot often afford. I'll do my best to schmooze though lol! I'm originally from Buffalo. We had some great brewpubs up there!

@trogalicious - woooah I just saw your weight loss tracker. Major congratulations!

Hi all! I'm a huge wine and craft brew fan! Since starting this "new life," I've had to switch to things like Miller 64 if I wanted a beer. I hide my food diary because too many people on here can be cruel about alcohol, no matter the amount. I drink sporadically as my mood fits. I'm a doctoral student so my schedule isn't…

I got the standard Mr. Beer kit for Christmas and I really look forward to trying it out. It came with the standard American Light kit. I want to perfect that so that hopefully by next fall, I'll be ready to make a good pumpkin or Christmas Ale!

I'm more of a Belgian or porter fan. I also really enjoy wheat beers. IPA's are far too hoppy for me.

@BigDog - Seriously! I get so tired of being made to feel like I'm a terrible person or I have a problem b/c I actually *enjoy* alcohol. It's like the conversation always has to start with a lecture from *everyone* on whatever research led them to believe a certain number is good or bad, and anything away from that is…

Thank you!! I feel like I'm the only one! No one gets it!

Then a lot of people are really good at pretending. I realize many need the complete positivity to keep going, but the enthusiasm and love poured out over exercise so often has me begging to differ. Which is why so many of us who just cannot feel that, feel like we're in the minority, I guess.

I hate it too. The after feeling isn't enough to overpower how much I hate it. I have to force myself to do it every time. I tend to mix my cardio between general aerobics and my stationary bike. I'm not coordinated enough for sports, so I don't do them and running tends to do more harm than good for me it seems (shin…

I see all these people saying "you just shouldn't care" but it's really difficult to get over this phobia. I have access to my campus gym but I'm mortified to use it. I do all my cardio in my apartment. I know it's something I'm going to get over eventually, but I do not think I'll feel better about it until I lose it bit…

I go to George Mason University.

Climate dynamics, doctoral student.

I'm in too! 5'0" tall and 57 lbs to go!
