Anyone else feel ALONE in their weight loss journey?
I don't care how many electronic "friends" one has on MFP, how many people compliment you on your loss, or motivate and encourage you. This is still a lonely journey. No one else can lose the weight for you. As a single, I find it tough with weight loss. Every now and then I may have a man at the gym or someone out in…

Whey Protein Isolate...GEL?!!!!!!
I received a sample of fruit-punch flavored Whey protein isolate in a squeezable gel pack in my Bulu Box for February. I just COULD NOT bring myself to consume it. I squeezed a little out and gave it a taste and I just can't see myself swallowing something in gel form. It reminded me of toothpaste. I will take my protein…

Gas Mask At The Gym?
I saw a guy at my gym with what appeared to be a gas mask or something of similar presentation. I had to do a double take. What and why is this?! Is this a new fitness innovation or what? He had it on throughout his workout. Never seen it before. Anyone?

"You want to build a snowman later?"
Today as I was coming out the gym a guy I never met asks, "do you want to build a snowman later?". I have been hearing this, "so you want to build a snowman" thing a lot lately. What does it mean, is it a joke, is it a saying, does it have an underlying meaning?

Anyone Else Anal About Formatting of Diary Items?

Betta Owners HELP! Fish Swimming Fast, White Spots
Hello, Just purchased my fish Sunday. He's in a betta bowl which is like 1/2 gallon, no filter. Yesterday when I came home I noticed he was swimming around nonstop and full of energy.

"Please include a message with your friend request.."
It seems like this is something said because someone else said it on their profile. To be exclusive you must add this disclaimer to your profile. Miss me with that... When did this become so important or the norm? Just sounds like some MFPers are becoming friending snobs. Some of them won't admit they are quick to accept a…

Looking for an alternative to calorie-rich sugary syrup? Try banana "syrup"! Slice a large newly ripe banana, heat it for 1 minute in the microwave, and mash it up over your pancakes/waffles/french toast. It should have a gooey texture and spread well.
