I want to know what my picture says about me too!

I'm an awful person because.... I think people should control their kids in public and get really annoyed when I'm out somewhere and a kid dashes in front of me and nearly knocks me over (or I nearly knock THEM over) and their "guardian" just stares through me with glazed-over eyes as if I'm the one at fault. I'm just a…

I thought the Woo was a good thing... like "woooo... way to go!!!". They should have called it "Boo" instead.

Nutella is the food of the gods. I would smear Nutella all over my body so I could absorb it into my pores, if that were possible. Because of this, I refuse to have it in my house, or even come near it at the grocery store.

I say things in conversations (in person and online) that kill them for days. Not rude things, or even weird/inappropriate things... just things that kind of "kill the vibe". I don't do it on purpose. I'm just that person who says and posts things and makes everyone else get really quiet and say "hmm.... I never thought of…

I love to bellydance :) I also enjoy making my own costumes. I also love vegetable gardening, creative writing and anything crafty!

I completely empathize with you.... what makes it worse is, after a woman reaches "a certain age" (at least here in the U.S.), and they don't try to look good, they are chastised for letting themselves go, and if they DO try, people say they're trying too hard and should accept aging gracefully. If you're really lucky,…

Wow, there's been a lot of information shared here.... Sorry for not responding to everyone but I'll try to summarize... I feel great physically and mentally on my existing diet - energetic, no digestive issues or known health issues at all. I have a fairly active lifestyle.... I have a desk job but walk around frequently.…

You need to make a t-shirt that says "PROFESSIONAL BUTT SNORKELER".

45 and counting...

I don't know of any social situation where this statement WOULDN'T work. It reeks of class and sophistication, and shows that you're a man who knows how to take charge.

I am very, very rarely flirted with.... and when I am, it's the late-night-and-I'm-certain-they-are-lonely and-drunk "lol ur HOT" message variety. Like, you can't quite tell if they are drunk and inept or a 10-year old hacking into their dad's computer.

You bring up a lot of good points. I think one of my problems is that I get caught up in too much "health advice" from too many different sources that have wildly varying opinions and are coming from different angles. There are the sources who push a whole, clean, natural-source diet with as little processing as possible,…

According to MFP I should have 78 grams of protein a day, and today I have 56 grams. That's including a scoop of vegan protein powder with a cup of almond milk. My average protein intake varies wildly. Some days I get pretty close.... but I go over on calories :(. Most days I'm on target with my calories but way under on…

Get to my goal weight, exercise at least 30 minutes a day, get my bike fixed up so I won't have an excuse to drive 1 mile to the store or CVS... oh, and be more organized!!

I don't know exactly what category this falls under... kudos to me, maybe? I have been in a huge self-loathing funk the past several months for various issues... my age, my appearance, my weight, etc. Yes, I'm seeing a therapist... and yes, she finally said something that really resonated with me and made me feel good.…

dumpy and butterface

I don't have any advice on how I handle it personally, because I've never experienced it. I go out walking quite a bit in various areas and have never received that kind of attention. I've been told that I often have a "don't mess with me!" look on my face and I carry myself with very straight posture which makes me look…

I'm currently at 182 lbs but would ultimately like to reach 160 lbs.

I went to my first class last Saturday... and everyone who says you'll be sore afterwards wasn't kidding at all. I had my class at 10 am, and by 7 pm the same day I was feeling a lot of soreness in my shoulders, the back of my upper arms, my lower back and even in my lower calves (from trying to grip the pole). And the…

cqbkaju...nice profile pic :)

So I just bought a 5 class package for pole fitness classes and have already signed up for 2... first one is this Saturday :) WOOOOOOO EXCITING!! I'm always looking for anything that will make me a little sexier so this might really appeal to me. For the first time in a long time, I'm looking forward to something... and…

I'm always looking for something that might make me just a little sexier, so I'm enthusiastic about trying this out.

I want to thank all of you for your patience and support. I'm feeling a bit better than yesterday... I went to my bellydance class tonight and that helped cheer me up. I'm excited about exploring the pole dancing class too..and now I want to work on losing the last 20 lbs so it will be easier to spin around... and I'll…

I don't have the discipline for this. In the past, I have tried the whole monetary rewards system... the problem is, I just go ahead and spend the money on myself whether I meet my goal or not :smiley: LOL If I have the money, it will get spent.

I had a sudden epiphany a few minutes ago... I remember seeing some women at an outdoor festival doing pole dancing routines and thought it looked really awesome and a lot of fun. They teach a class not far from my house... I wonder if this could be a motivator for me? It's not competitive, it's a solo endeavor and allows…

This really resonated with me. Thank you! Looking at it this way allows enough "wiggle room" to maybe explore some things fitness-related without the frustration or disappointment in myself if I don't respond to it the way I feel that I should. I'm going to try to keep this in mind. In my situation, it's probably not going…

Yeah, I do those every so often. In fact, I just did one a few weeks ago (for mental health awareness - the irony is not lost on me). The walks are surprisingly short... they last maybe 20-30 ininutes, tops. the first time I did one, I did not realize this, and prepared myself for something around 5K... one time around a…

I have actually considered this to be a possibility, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms.

Yeah, I like my gym clothes. I don't listen to the music they play there because I listen to my own... I am always making new, fresh playlists to listen to and this keeps me distracted to a certain extent. They don't offer shampoo so I bring my own :)
