Well, some people's line is past even having sex with other people-- I've known couples who "swing," and they might say that you're being insecure by demanding that your spouse only have sex with you, or only have oral with you, or whatever--- as much as you want to say that the previous poster is acting on some arbitrary…

Our stomach isn't a computer, but our body burns or stores that which we feed it-- calories are just another word for energy, afterall, right? I think that's pretty straightforward science, actually, but whatever thought process gets people healthier is a good one, IMO. :) Honestly, though, I don't choose to "believe" or…

The 'given' in that sentense is calories, if it's not self-explanatory. :) eta: totally agree though, that moving more, and eating more, is golden. LOL That actually totally meshes with my first post. But the calorie equation just needs to work out to moving... more than you eat!

My secret is the opposite. LOL I find it really easy to go to the gym, work HARD, run, weights, everything, but restricting my eating is what is difficult for me. So my secret is lots of exercise-- it lets you eat more, and I find that when I work my tail off, I am less inclined to eat crappy afterwards. And also just to…

I always have in my gym bag: -shower bag, loaded with shampoo, conditioner, razor, mouthwash and toothbrush/paste. (my gym supplies soap and towels) -small bag with sunscreen/moisturizer, deodorant, a little face powder -extra diapers for baby at the gym daycare -every morning I pack a clean outfit to change into after…

Sounds like you girls are getting some great compliments! That's awesome. I think we're doing a great job, everyone! I did level 2, day 2 (day 12 overall) today, felt great, but man, this level is hard! By the second (or first, really) group of those cardio oblique twists, I'm just really wanting to hit "stop." Feels good…

Oh, but I'm so glad my husband doesn't look at sex with me with the same disheartened sigh as I look at the word "diet." LOL

I think I'm too old [blush], I don't understand the last paragraph. Men who frequent strip clubs aren't into strippers? Or men who date strippers aren't into strippers?

LOL Awesome! That's what I would say to a friend, and to answer, it would bother me, yes. Of course it's not the same as any other bar... It's the same as any other bar, only you're paying the women to take their clothes off to dance seductively for you. LOL And there are many couples who have no problem with it, there are…

Yay! I had a feeling! I KNEW my doctor had said the pee-on-stick tests were so sensitive... So I was so hoping it would work out that way for you! Congratulations!! Being a mom is so, so wonderful. Enjoy!

The thing is, you can find people who will say "I've had sex unprotected 978 times, and I've never gotten pregnant." And that may be interestingly true. But I'm going to go ahead and trust science, kwim? The flu vax is not a live virus, there is no scientific way if gave you the flu. There is possibly a magical way, I…
-
The flu shot is not a live vaccine, and there is literally no chance of a non-live vax giving you the virus-- there is a chance that YOU will have a rare reaction that causes you to feel icky, though. And no, that's not super likely. (eta: Actually, I forget, I think the nasal mist we have here in the US might be live?…
-
I agree with this! But I would do this: That's kind of the 'line' to me. I don't think it'd be creepy really to personally message her, I just think it for sure won't be taken the wrong way if it's out in the open of a thread-- just a "hey, awesome abs," right there in the open-- she put it out there in the open, so it…
-
Cristi, that's great! I'm sorry you hit a roadblock, but sounds like you will ease past it. I can't wait to be able to run like that! OK, I did level one today! ROUGH! So I'm at 11 days, 1 at level 2, 10 at level one. How are you guys feeling on results? I'm definitely noticing. I had started the Shred before this thread,…
-
[/quote]I agree! I'd definitely be in on whatever you guys wanted to do next!! Thank you! The strep is on it's way out, with the help of antibiotics. I'm sorry about your injury, too! You are much more advanced than I am for running, I am only stalled on week 5 of the C25K. I'm doing a lot of spinning, some walking, and…
-
Love the 'before' and 'during' pictures already! GREAT job! This group is going strong. Illnesses and life getting in the way is to be expected, but I'm so impressed with you guys overall! I am still dealing with strep, and Halloween's busy season, and did end up missing 2 days. Sunday made Day 10 of level 1 for me, so I…

Wow, you look AMAZING! Great job!
-
WOW!! Thank you for the motivation to keep up on the Shred. :) you look awesome, I want to, too.

My daughters are 7, 5, and 2, so I imagine this is subject to change. :) For now, I buy 98% of their clothes without them, then they pick something weather-appropriate for themselves most days. They've never complained, so it must not be too big a deal. I will definitely have "influence" forever, in that they're not going…

Oh, my gosh! They madea movie of The Namesake? I loved that book, I'll have to check it out! I agree about 95's Little Women, I still read that every Christmas season to my 3 young daughters, and they love that movie, too.
-
I think that's a really good point. People always assume everyone is jealous of them, and that's their motivation in everything, but usually it's this I think.
-
It's funny, look at a myriad of other threads here, and in this one, everyone (but me) so far, thinks people ought to be telling other people they should go on diets. LOL Yes, people can't really win. I guess that's why I try to take into account peoples' intentions, and almost nothing ever bothers me. :)

The Game of Thrones HBO series / Song of Ice and Fire series, I read those books years ago, then re-read them (I NEVER re-read) before the show came out, and I think the show is amazing. Not as amazing as the books, but great. Shawshank, yes; To Kill a Mockingbird, absolutely; a few others already mentioned. I also thought…
-
No, it doesn't bug me. I like that people have politeness filters, kwim? I think people say they want to hear the truth, but don't really, for most things. I want to hear if there's spinach in my tooth (so I can quick get it out), but I don't want to hear if you think I'm fat-- no. I think if we're overweight and feel like…
-
That's awesome, Deb! I'm looking forward to (& not looking forward to...) that run! Good job Gail, too!

MFP isn't a governmental organization. :) You can choose to be here, or not, and 'they' can choose to have rules for their forums, or not. They do have that freedom, it is a right of theirs; you & I do not have the freedom to break any rules within a private establishment such as here, kwim? That's not what the Bill of…

I second (third?) the crate-training suggestion. It feels hard to leave them in crates, but really, it's for the best sometimes- him being a nervous wreck isn't any good for him. I know he barked in the past, did that happen many days, or just one? I'm wondering if it's something he'd realize didn't work, then stop with…

I took the last 4 days off for what felt like a bad cold, but I stopped at the doctor today, and it is Strep. I thought I was going to have to skip another couple of days.... But I started the meds and started feeling a little better this evening, so I did go out! I was worried I'd have to backtrack more, but I just redid…
