  • sounds like that poor coworker is very out of touch w/herself on many levels. mebbe refrain from using "weight" and "fat" - and just talk about fitness and working out, vs. the eating side of things? it'd be a mental exercise for you, sure - but she's super-sensitive about all that kind of talk because I'm sure she thinks…

  • Hi! I am new this week as well, and have pulled a few pals over here because I am so impressed with this site's features! I also found out that a few folks I know were already on here, and have connected with them too.
