Almost 34, married almost 14 years, NO desire to have kids. There will always be pressure, both obvious and implied, so it's not always an easy choice to make or position to be in. My friends know how much I dislike children and know not to push the issue. Breeding (and pairing off, for that matter) is not for everybody…

Then you make two. It's never just one person. Not to mention some places ban peanuts because the dust could kill one person who happens to be there. Like I said before, the outdoors is public area and belongs to everybody. As others have said emissions from cars and factories are far more harmful. There are many things…

Anybody else remember the episode of The Simpsons where all of the childless residents realized they had the money, time and numbers required to make Springfield "adult friendly" by relegating children to only certain areas of the town? Yes, most (if not all) of us realize that smoking is bad for our health and most of us…

Thank you lol can't tell kidding in text :flowerforyou:

Way to miss the point.

Why should I be exposed to people's shrieking children? I didn't breed. It's called "public" and nobody owns it.

+1 I'm as considerate as I possibly can be and if that's not good enough for people *shrugs* too bad.

"Lolok"

:laugh: Good luck! When I've been drinking I barely want to wobble myself to the bathroom. Forget exercise.

Oh no... more guilt! :sad: But the bears... they are so good!!

DUDE!!! :sick: I kinda want to try those.... :laugh:

This is my favorite thread ever!! :laugh: I'm imagining baramundi with a white gummy bear sauce, green gummy bears on the side and wash it down with a white wine that has red gummy bears floating around in it. I can't bring myself to restrict by color/flavor. :blushing: I am curious about this sugar free gummy bear…

I don't think it's particularly "crazy" (especially compared to some of these lol), but I had picked up a little book called "40grams of fat per day (or less)" and it came with a little plastic tracker. Basically you could eat WHATEVER you wanted as long as the total fat grams for the day added up to less than 40…

I don't generally have that problem with the food, but once I skip a day exercising I find it hard to get back to it.. Do you keep track of what you're eating throughout the day or just tally at the end? I try to do it all through the day so I can see if I need to jump on the bike before dinner or not.

Everything's difficult at first. :flowerforyou: Do what you can and keep at it!

*pfft* You still look fine from the side. Ya know... to me... Anyway, one tip my friend gave me (cuz I HATE doing ab work) is to just keep sucking it in. It works the muscles and is easier on your back and eventually the muscles will get with the program. Whenever you notice yourself letting it "just hang out", suck it in…

I agree. You look great to me, as well. 190 seems a bit low for your height (to me anyway) and it looks like you do have some muscle definition. If you're concerned, though, just take it a bit at a time and see how you feel along the way. :flowerforyou:

aw bummer *HUGS* At least now you have a feel for everything. :flowerforyou:

^^^this, too...

*pfft* I'm 33 and half of my undies (half of all the stuff I own, actually) have Hello Kitty on them. :laugh: Worse than that, I think, is my tendency to lose track of the conversation when I'm talking to myself and "come to" all confused... :huh: Yeah... sometimes in public...

I don't mind a random "Hey, you look good. Have you lost weight?" from friends and family. Especially after being called fat by the mean girls in HS all the time. It just got a little awkward when people said it a year ago when I started gaining back all the weight I had lost. :laugh:

I just tell people I don't drink. I will on occasion (once or twice a year), but if somebody else has such a big hang-up over what you do or don't do that's their problem. Just find somewhere to go on a date that's not a bar.

Holy flippin' AMAZING!!! :heart:

Why wait? I stole all of my mom's bell-bottoms. :laugh: Love the shape! Whenever I buy jeans for myself I won't buy a pair that doesn't flare!

WTH? Degrading much? Also, I thought that plane tickets specified which seat people were supposed to sit in?

Dude, this! It doesn't seem like it should make a difference, but it does. Our tap water here is pretty bad even cold from the tap, but after being chilled in the freezer it's smooth, refreshing goodness. Until it gets room temp and then it's not so good again... :laugh:

I was outside talking to some friends. Took a mis-step backwards, fell right on my butt and bounced. Twice. Thank goodness my friends were decent enough to ask if I was okay before chuckling and helping me up. I can't hate cuz I guess it is pretty funny.

I think you're making the right decision, too. You took the time to actually look at yourself honestly and decide off of what you saw. I think this is far healthier than sticking firm to some number that may not be right for you. Good luck with the toning! :flowerforyou:

Audiobooks! I almost exclusively exercise on the stationary bike and have found listening to audiobooks ONLY when I bike is a big motivator if I want to find out what happens next. :wink: Don't worry about your stamina, that will come in time. I started out only being able to manage a paltry 4 minutes before I was winded…

QFT When I was in HS most of the girls on our volleyball team were HUGE! Like, tall and broad. Not fat, but by no means skinny, and they almost went to state, so... being a skinny volleyball player is irrelevant. As long as you can play your position, who cares?
