Love this post. Thanks. But stop weighing yourself when you are high. You could lose your balance on that scale and twist an ankle or something.

Racing stripes! MFP needs racing stripes. Racing strips are totally rad. Racing. Stripes.

The problem with a g-string is: do you go balls on the left or the right? Down the middle is WAY too uncomfortable.

You and I need to discuss motorcycles.....

If you are asking whether every single compliment paid to a woman by a hetero man is at least partially due to a desire to have sex with that woman, I'd say no. I think men are capable of complimenting someone without wanting to sleep with them. But men can have a non-discerning animalistic quality about our sex drives.…

I think you know not to quit, and that you are making progress. I think you are frustrated by the difference between your real, actual progress compared to an idea of what your progress "should" be. I get that. Many of us wish we could lose faster/be stronger/etc. I feel sad reading your posts in this thread because your…

I think a lot of them may be toiling away spelling "@" in long form.

It's much funnier if you are getting tickled while the joke is being explained to you.

I agree that girls' performance in schools is a serious topic.

Too many ships have been launched. The seas are crowded.

Dude. You have to use organic cinnamon.

I tried on a pair of Sanuk's at an REI about 4 years ago as a joke. They looked like grandpa slippers, and I like grandpa slippers. I left the store with them because they were so freakin' comfortable. I know own three pairs of Sanuks (two shoe/slipper varieties, one pair flip-flops). Great shoes.

If you keep bumping and/or replying to this thread, Bill Gates will pay $245 to every person that bumps or replies. Because Microsoft is tracking this thread.

It has everything to with what you put out there. Your self-esteem, confidence, strength, vulnerability, smile, sense of humor, etc. Sure, most hetero guys will certainly look at a pretty face, nice butt/legs/boobs/etc. But to really *keep* my attention, there needs to be more. Others have talked about it already. The vibe…

I'm not sure. No, not directly. Sharing personal experiences doesn't necessarily = caring what others think. But I suspect there is some care in choosing our audience. Even though it may be cathartic to share the experience, the audience's reaction has some meaning. Else we'd share in front of a mirror. If one truly is…

True. But why state the opinion publicly if not - on some level - caring about those that read the opinion? I get the difference between curiosity and need for approval, as I do the difference between stating an opinion and asking for acceptance. Posting in this thread isn't necessarily asking for acceptance. But it is a…

It's interesting that people will come to this thread and post to say they don't care what anyone else thinks. At some level, they must care what readers of this thread think - or at least what you, the OP, thinks. Otherwise, why post at all?

I think we all care what others think more than we want to let on. There is some power dynamics involved in presenting a "not caring" attitude. I think the difference is how much we let it control our lives, our decisions, our thinking/emotions/etc. Maybe I'm hung up on definitions/semantics and when you say you couldn't…

I wish this thread quoted the same series of pictures more often. Other than that, I'm grateful to those of you who continue to provide well-researched information, and point me in the direction to research things myself.

Are you asking if you are just being paranoid about your mom's intentions? That is, being paranoid that she is deliberately trying to keep you from going to your boot camp classes? What answer would make a difference? As you've posted in follow-ups, you know you are living there to go to school. You are taking advantage of…

Of course there are some negative responses. There are four pages of responses from lots of different people. Your post illustrates a big problem with this issue: what you choose to focus on. Your cupcake recipe post had TWENTY "very kind responses." Then a negative response. Which response are you focusing on? Which…

All personal preference. For weight/calorie management neither method is better than the other. They are the same. For your own behavior and eating patterns, one method may feel better than the other. For example, I tend to overeat if I go too long without eating. So frequent meals make it easier for me to hit my calorie…

I don't share my scratch and sniff stickers.

Worse is a 20 year old acting like a 50 year old. Or a 32 year old acting like a 37 year old. Where do they get off?

You know what else is a just a number? 11 Damn you, 11, with your skinny numerals!

Thanks. Not TMI. Totally makes sense now. Of course some people might be sensitive to the wax itself. Never thought of that.

This is exactly why I never take off the burlap sack I wear beneath my clothes. It's a little itchy and Texas summers are tough. But I know I'm safe.

I'm curious about your response. Why do you say "I could never do waxing" - especially if laser hurts 10x worse? I thought the biggest negative of waxing was the pain? Is there another negative to waxing? (sorry, I'm asking out of ignorance - don't know much about waxing, except that "You look like a man-o-lantern" was one…

I just when throught the exact same thing. Except it wasn't my mom. Or your mom. Or a muffin. Or even breakfast. It was lunch. And it ended up being about 1000 calories more than I thought it was. But because I've been on MFP for awhile and paid attention to some of the smart people hear, I realized that it wasn't the end…

You look great. Your shoulders and arms are fantastic, and you've changed the shape of your butt. The most amazing thing to me, though, is your calves. What a difference! Great progress in just six months. Great thread. All of you are inspiring. I love how women's shoulders and backs respond to lifting. I'm buying my wife…
