Harsh words & bashing instead of support & motivation?
I recently read several posts where fellow MFPers are saying harsh things to one another or pushing their views on others. Aren't we all here for the same reason? To get healthy and maintain a healthy lifestyle for the duration? The last thing I want to see is someone being put down for trying. There is NO excuse for…

Why did someone "unfriend" you?
I had to laugh at my brother because he wanted to unfriend someone because they are a Yankees fan and think they know everything about baseball. LOL - most Yankees fans think they know everything! Just like most Cowboys fans think they know everything about football. I had a friend who I actually thought was a GOOD friend,…

What is your favorite Christmas tradition?
I love this time of year and one of my favorite things about it is all the lights.

Driving 101.... Some people should NOT have a license
Ok, I try not to be one of "those" road rage drivers but in the last 2 weeks I have encountered the same scenerio with 2 totally different people and was extremely annoyed. When approaching a non-working traffic light intersection, the rule is to treat this as a 4-way stop. Well, 2 weeks ago a girl, roughly 20 yrs old was…

I just bought a couple of workout dvd's (jilian michaels 30 day shred) and was wondering how you calculate your calories burned or what you use to log it (ex. aerobics???) Not sure what to put. I don't have a fit bit or anything to help me calculate.

Best vacation story....
I have many, but one that stands out is when my bestie and I and a couple of buddies went to a po-dunk town a couple hours north of us for what was supposed to be a great party.

What year would you like to do-over and why??? For me, I would have to say when I was 25 yrs old. That year was so boring and spent trying to save a relationship that was never going to be saved. I would like to go back and spend it doing more things for myself that I could enjoy and live it up!
