I can't really see it myself, but a lot of my jeans don't fit anymore and that kinda makes me sad because I don't want to buy new ones. I've lost about 10 pounds, but I'm only 5'1", so it's more noticeable. My aunt noticed and asked me how I was doing it because she doesn't see me often.,I don't think my SO can really see…

I just started today. It was definitely more challenging than I had originally thought it would be. It's not a huge calorie burn, but maybe I'll eventually move up to doing it twice. I found the parts where you lay on your back really difficult because I have vertigo, so I lost my balance a lot. I think my legs will be…

I do weigh a bit more than her, but our weight is distributed differently. She's quite a bit taller than me and is I guess what you'd call "skinny fat."

It's not necessary for me. If I really want something, I can usually fit it into my daily calorie allowance.

Oh, interesting! My wife takes coumadin, so this is interesting. I don't think she's really a fan of green tea anyway, but it still interests me. thanks.

I think I'll keep using it as long as I have the app on my phone. It makes it so easy to log no matter where I am.

Same here. I feel like America has A LOT of catching up to do on this front.

I fully support it. A dead person doesn't need their organs, so why not use them to save the life of another?

I try to stop weighing myself and remember that my clothes are getting looser. I'm not always good at that, though. Sometimes, I feel like ****. But it'll pass.

No, I don't believe they do. Once we die, I think that's the end. It's just nothingness. A "soul" is just your consciousness when you're alive.

So could I say that you are pro-oppression, since you don't believe in women making choices about their own bodies?

My parents aren't religious, but for some reason, my dad wanted us to go to religious schools, so we went to a Catholic elementary and I chose a Catholic High School, for some reason. I'd always been indifferent about "god," so I guess I identified as agnostic, but now I'd definitely say I'm atheist. Why? Well, I guess I…

I hope to be a gay parent someday, although I'm pretty sure my wife doesn't want kids. She's almost 10 years older than me.. but I think (hope) she'd be supportive if that's something I ever wanted.

This really drives me nuts! For some reason, people seem to think that being gay is all about sex, or that gay people want to have sex all the time. So weird! I also find it really strange that people think I don't know - or can't find - men attractive, just because I don't want to sleep with them. I'm not blind.

I'm also surprised at how little people know about it, but I have to wonder if it's them that don't know much, or is it that I know a lot? When I was a teenager, I had a transgendered roommate and I think that was the first time I learned of it. I now have a cousin who is transgendered (queerness runs in my faimily), so I…

I'm pretty sure my mom has "outted" me to most of my family. She really enjoys drama and if that's all she has in life, whatever. I'm not involved with her or most of my family, so they can think what they will. I can't stand when someone is introduced as "gay." One of my sisters does this sometimes. She'll tell me a story…

Did you consider that they probably don't want to talk to you? Why not just go live your own life instead of trying to police someone else's decisions?

Uh, what kind of a sick website is that? & why should I find anything on it reliable?

It's definitely not like it was in the beginning, that's for sure. Our work schedules are different, so I feel like when she's in the mood, I'm too tired or vice versa. Sometimes, though, we're probably just making excuses. It gets boring to do the same things all the time and it's not exactly an easy conversation to…

Are you comparing wearing a red shirt to being a minority? Please explain what you're trying to say.

I don't see the logic in people wanting abortion to be illegal. So many more women would die because of shady, botched procedures.

Yes, actually. Pot shouldn't be illegal, in my opinion - but your logical is faulty, because it doesn't make sense. Those two things are completely different.

Nobody should be making decisions about someone else's body. Women should have the right to choose.

This is what I'm thinking, too. A size 4 here is still quite small. I'm not sure about US sizing.. but I don't think "vanity sizing" is so much a thing up here.

Affirmative Action is necessary in order to have diversity in the workplace.

You don't have "differences" to point out because you're white and not "other" - or, "ethnic looking," as someone else so kindly stated. White people generally do not think of their race when describing themselves, because they're white, which means that they are in a position of power in society, which means that their…

This is redundant. I obviously know what the group is about, but I don't know why you are focusing on that specific part of what I said?

The comment where someone compared their child not being old enough to start school to a transgendered child wanting to be in girl scouts. Those two things are NOT the same. It's also not the same thing to have a "tomboy" daughter or a transgendered son or daughter. Gender roles also exist, and many of them are not for…

So, are you saying your boyfriend doesn't trust you at all?

Some of you guys are so ignorant, it honestly disturbs me. I feel like I should stop coming to this group. It's upsetting to see the awful comments people make sometimes.
