Need app that verbally warns me to maintain pace
I've recently been using an app called Gipis to train for a half marathon (even though I could barely run 5ks in March, I can now run 8+ miles!) and now I'm addicted to having someone tell me immediately when I'm going too fast or too slow. Unfortunately Gipis only does the training, I can't use it to just go for a run, so…

guys... don't want to lose weight and be "the smaller guy"?
ok maybe i'm crazy, but there has been times, when i'll be walking somewhere... not necessarily "down a dark alley" but you know, places like that, less safe, and someone looks at you like something might be up, and you're thinking, oh ****, if they did something, could i defend myself? And it's been comforting to know I…

Best of MFP forums - Most interesting threads? Links?
This should be fun: what is the most interesting thread you can remember on MFP forums? Can you post a link to it? The one I remember the most was a thread about what a woman would do if she found a neked man with a blindfold on and hands tied in the woman's bathroom. Some of the responses were... unbelievable, and then…

Is there a good way to ask a girl out at a gas station?
Is there a "right" way to approach a girl at a gas station? I don't mean someone going inside to pay, say she pulls up, credit card, pumps and will be leaving. I'm thinking.... probably not, because even if the hottest girl walked up to me while I was putting gas in my car it would feel strange. What do you think ladies?…
Treadmill weight limits - Do they matter?
I'm buying a used treadmill that has a "Max user weight" that is 15 lbs less than my current weight. My ultimate concern is that when I'm running on it the belt will "pause" for a split second when I put my foot down. I've had this happen on treadmills at the gym when they're old or worn out and it's no fun, makes it…
Leave someone to help them (lose weight)?
Let's say someone leaves you, and that's it, you've had it, that's the motivation it takes, and you join MFP and lose, 50 lbs, or whatever, you bring sexy back, and they come back and say "hi, i had to leave you, because i knew if i stayed you wouldn't lose weight but WOW now look at you! Aren't you glad we broke up?" how…
why are female teachers going after young male students?
mfp has more female members than any forum I'm a member of so I figure I would ask on here: why are there so many news reports over the last few years of usually attractive female teachers having sex with young male students? has it always been happening and it just being reported more often now? are the males going after…
disturbing video: cops beat man lying on the ground

Apparently he's a drunk driver, and he's lying on the ground, and the cop on top of him yells "STOP RESISTING!", then raises up his fist and delivers a powerful punch to his face. Then another one. scariest thing: The Milwaukee Police Department found no wrongdoing on the part of…
Treadmill deals, delivered to my house - Suggestions?
Looking to buy a treadmill but it won't fit in porsche so I'd like to see if I can order online and have it delivered. I've thought of craigslist and getting a uhaul, but it'd be about $200 on craigslist and Uhaul is $20 + tax + 60 cents a mile + gas, so figured 40 miles round-trip = $24, +$11 in gas for ~15mpg going 40…
Dating on MFP? Why or Why not?
Now I know some people are not here to meet someone, but what's wrong with meeting someone with a common interest, especially something as motivational as being fit? I think it'd be great to meet someone on MFP where I can see that they transformed their body through hardwork and strong will. I've read it transfers over to…

why do you only accept males or females as friends on MFP?
I've seen a few woman that flatly refuse to add men as friends. Why is this? My opinion is they're fake, they're men posing as women to get more female friends and hope they'll say/do something. It is the internet after all.... :huh: EDIT: nevermind, this 13 page thread answered all my questions:…
Significant other not going to work/school when they say the
If you found out your significant other (wife/husband/bf/gf) was not going to school or work when they said they were, what would you do? EDIT: in this example, they are suppose to be going to work/school while you are at work/school, but instead they're staying home, so they're probably not cheating, but they're not going…
How heavy should a man be?
Like the subject says, how heavy do you think a man of normal height should be? I ask because I read on a profile that an adult woman had a boyfriend that was 145 and that was her inspiration to lose weight. That seems *very* light to me. Perhaps he's 5'4 or something.... Am I crazy? Are most men suppose to be 145? Or does…
