  • Stick to the "success" board, that's just about the only one where the usual BS does not occur. Otherwise, MFP forums are not unique from any other internet forums where people can (and do) post whatever they please. You'll notice that the same few dozen people make most of the posts, and should you dare to disagree with…
  • Are we talking in terms of aesthetics or performance? Because if it's the latter I'd pick marathon. Sprinting ain't worth *kitten* compared to 30+ miles...!
  • You look fabulous! I love the dress in that second picture. :smile: I just so happened to be wearing the same shirt today as I was when I went to Disneyworld-- back when I was nearly 300 pounds. Same shirt, five years later:
  • You're right, OP. We shouldn't have a food database that allows us to add in our own food. Because having to scroll down through everyone else's entries wastes valuable seconds of our precious lives that would otherwise be spent on vital, necessary actions. Like posting long rants on the forums. :tongue:
  • In for the creepy gifs
  • They may not be perfect, but I can't help but love my boobs, especially now that I'm able to buy nice bras in a smaller size. And I ain't the only one who loves them :tongue: I also love my smile. I am SO glad that my braces fixed my snaggletooth that I had as a kid! Nice thread OP :flowerforyou:
  • I work as a freight stocker in a hardware store... it's not "traditionally" male, really, and there are plenty of females at my store, but the dress code does not allow jewelry, heels, or any hair color that isn't pretty natural-looking. I usually don't wear much makeup at all either because for one, I don't feel like…
  • ^This. Growing up, I told myself that it was 'natural' for me to be plump, then fat, because my mother was also and I'd just inherited it from her, right? Wrong. However, OP, I think that your doctor may be a little extreme in refusing you the medication. It's true that really heavy women are more inclined to have…
  • What's funny is that people who are successful and people who are not are usually equally self-centered... the difference lies in, as you say, how much real WORK is put into whatever you want to accomplish. I feel like I've barely even pushed myself this year, but already I've lost more than 20 pounds, 3 clothing sizes,…
  • I feel sorry for you, for not being able to properly enjoy your 21st birthday!! :tongue: My 21st included an amazing dinner with all my friends at Red Lobster (I believe I ordered the coconut shrimp) and a few drinks there, then back to the house for jaegerbombs. It was a rockin' good time, and probably the last birthday…
  • Well, as much as I'm a 'girly-girl' at heart I find that I simply don't have the time or patience for make-up more often than not, haha. And neither one of my jobs allow jewelry so I've kind of gotten out of the habit of wearing it. But when I was at my highest weight, especially when I was unemployed, sometimes I'd go up…
  • Is it too much to expect when they literally live 15 minutes away from me? :tongue: I see the points you're making though, they're good ones. It's just frustrating when they seem to have time lately for everyone BUT me. And if the case is that they don't like me any more, I wish they would simply be honest about it rather…
  • See, I used to be like that. Literally. Even my relationship was only online. I miss those days sometimes...
  • But the funny thing is, I used to avoid my friends altogether. For a long time, while we lived together, it was them practically dragging me kicking and screaming out of my room to go out with them. And the root of the post (which I didn't communicate well) is me trying to understand WHY it is that people need close…
  • That's definitely true, and I've already "given up" several friends due to lack of initiative on their part and never wanting to be part of the group's activities, or even just wanting to hang out one on one. But a part of me feels guilty about that even today, like if I'd simply tried harder to reach out to them then…
  • Yeah, problem is, it's hard to meet people! I'm befriending my co-workers, but it's just not the same yet. I guess the reason I keep seeking out my old friends is that I don't feel the same level of comfort with my college friends, co-workers, or anyone else I've become friends with in recent years. And I mentioned it in…
  • I'm not trying to be rude at all when I ask this, but how is wanting to hang out once or twice a week putting "waaaaay too much expectations" on someone? It's not like I expect them to be available at any time of any day, but is it really too much to ask to be able to get together weekly, when you've been friends with…
  • That's a fair point, but I have known these people for years, and when I moved out of state for a few months they kept telling me how sad they were that I moved and how much they missed me. That was a year ago, but I didn't think that the fondness would disappear so suddenly. They have also told me they want me to initiate…
  • Um, I eat dry sandwiches all the time, or put only mustard on. I consider it a 'real sandwich' without processed cheese and goopy mayo. That being said, getting a plain turkey sandwich with veggies on it is probably 'better' for you than the veggie delight anyway, since cheese is a fatty and salty way to get your protein.
  • Not really sure what you're getting at here-- 28g is 1 oz. For protein, the grams are multiplied by 4 to find the actual calorie amount of the meat itself. Fats are multiplied by 9, carbs also by 4. I don't think any fast food places are making the nutritional info hard to find. What boggles my mind is that people seem to…
  • <-- Just for shiggles, I decided to see if I had any 'sexy' pics of my boyfriend on my computer... and this is what I turned up! I think I was drunk when I took this :laugh: (if you click to my profile you can see the whole thing) He may not have a six-pack but he's got some very nice biceps. :heart:
  • IN for polygamy :D
  • Well, my boyfriend certainly wasn't "chubby" when we met, but in the year or so that's followed he's gained about 30 lbs and I've lost about 30. So... clearly, he must be absorbing my chub in our sleep! :tongue:

  • You forgot the part where the people that argue with one another insist-- over and over-- that they didn't come here to argue. :tongue:
  • In the past, I've fvcked guys from Craigslist to get weed for free. Even though weed supposedly isn't addictive either. But it certainly wasn't about the sex. Oh, and I've definitely stolen candy before. So what does that make me? People get all hung up on the definition of addiction, when really, addictions are mostly…
  • I tried that, it works great! Without all that cumbersome air to process, your organs can just stop functioning and rest.
  • Wait, Friend Request Messages are supposed to be indicative of your personality or wit, now? Well, this is probably what I communicate then. :tongue:
  • Children get just as dirty, if not dirtier, than animals do! :tongue:
  • Nothing wrong with a little doggie love :heart: But sometimes I have to wash my face afterwards. I tell you what (Hank Hill voice), I'd much rather put up with a little dog slobber than let a snot-nosed little child come anywhere NEAR me when they're dirty, drooly and seven kinds of sticky. Dogs > children!!
