Men: Oblivious to Flirting.
Admit it, you just clicked because of the blanket statement, didn't you? Anyway, I was having a conversation with my fiance the other day and he mentioned he never gets flirted with. I pointed out a few prime examples I can think of where he got hit on right in front of me, but he thought they were "just being nice". I've…

What are you listening to?
And what's your favorite line from it? Right now I'm listening to 'Friends in Low Places' by Garth Brooks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQZjM8a78eA Of which my favorite line is "Just give me an hour and then I'll be as high as that ivory tower that you're livin' in." Cracks me up every time. What song are you listening to…

Anyone else have "goal clothes"?
Not that long ago, I saw a really cute bra at Victoria's Secret. At their store, I'm a 42DD. This bra was super cute, it was a bit of a push up but not too padded, etc. I was in a rush so I just found a 38DD and thought I'd use some extenders to make it fit (it's sad I have to use them,, I know :sad:) Anyway, so I got home…

Pan/omni people? :)
Let me introduce myself! I am Brittany, I'm 2 weeks off of being 21, I am engaged to a wonderful, incredible, handsome man named Nick. Since about 12 I have identified as bisexual. When, at around 17, I realized that not all bisexual people were okay dating FTM, MTF, genderqueer, nongender, etc. people, I realized that…

Ridiculously delicious food suggestions.
So, this may be in the wrong section of the forum, but since the recipes section is typically healthy food and I don't want people bombarding me with healthy recipes (because how dare they). My fiance and I live with his parents until December when we get our own place (woooo!) They are going on vacation soon and we will…

You know you're a fanboy/fangirl when...
You get into a serious, heated debate about who shot first. You have used Raxacoricofallapatorius in a sentence...correctly. You are convinced your car is pulled by Thestrals. And go! :wink:

People are strange.
I was just thinking of a few funny stories I have from work that I probably would not believe if I hadn't seen them. For instance, a couple of days ago, a woman came into our store, walked straight to the fragrance wall, looked around (presumably to make sure no one was around, and she couldn't see me from the angle I was…

Windows 8--opinions.
I just got a new laptop, which I love, but I am still not sure how I feel about Windows 8. I feel like it isn't very user friendly and seems more like something better suited for a phone or tablet than a PC. I couldn't even figure out how the hell to use the new paint! I had to Google it! :laugh: I am still trying to get…

Celebs you will always find sexy,no matter what.
I think most people have that one celebrity that they have always had a crush on or find sexy, no matter how old or gray or strange they get. For me, that celeb would be John Stamos, especially now that he's got some gray going on...have mercy!!! :love: So, who is that celeb for you? Please post pics because science.…

Self portrait being outside
Why does everyone and their momma have a picture of them outside? What is it about being outside that makes you think you look good? I don't understand it! I mean, it just doesn't make sense. Get a grip, people! :drinker:

Fat girls at Victoria's Secret.
A little back story: I recently (and I mean, so-recently-I-haven't-even-gone-to-training-yet recently) got hired at Victoria's Secret. Being nearly 300 pounds, I was surprised to have even gotten an interview since I applied with the manager in person. I thought surely, I won't make it to the second interview. Then I did.…

Adult references in kids/family movies.
So I'm watching Rango with a 4 year old, and I just caught the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas references. It caught me off guard for sure, but pretty funny. Another that comes to mind is from Full House. Stephanie to Gibbler: "A horoscope? What's that, a telescope that can only see your face?" O.O I thought I'd start a fun…

So, whose fault is it?
I was thinking about this last night and thought it would make for an interesting topic/debate, though hopefully not too heated of one! Here's the scenario (this is a mostly true story, and one of these men is a very close family member. I won't say which so I don't seem biased!) A guy (Mikell) and his best friend (Gary)…

Things (fill in the blank) say:
Another thread about things women say to personal trainers reminded me of those "*kitten* (blank) say" videos. My personal favorite are the **** Southern Women Say videos, because I have said most, if not all of these things in my lifetime! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0kXuewMSE4 That's just the first part! What are…

What do YOU think?
One of my friends posted this picture on Facebook the other day: What do you think? Do you think it's true? Do you agree or disagree with spanking as a form of punishment? This is meant to be a thread to say your opinion. Disagree or agree with each other, but either way please keep it civil. We're all adults, no reason we…

If you won the Powerball...
I think we all have those scenarios in our head if we won the lottery. In light of the Powerball today, what is your "if I won" scenario? Would you ever work again? What would you buy? How much would you give away, if any? If it was a Powerball situation with like, 500 mil, I would definitely still work...there is nothing…

What languages do you speak?
I thought this would be a fun thread to learn something about your friends you might not have known! :) What languages do you speak? Where did you learn them and how well do you know them? I speak English, obviously! I learned it because it's the language my parents speak. I speak very basic French but read it at an…

A different sleep apnea thread...
I saw another poster's sleep apnea question and it reminded me I have one of my own. When I started here, I was at 310. Sadly, not my heaviest, but obviously still very heavy. Now I am 298 pounds. Even at my highest weight, I never had a problem with sleep apnea. My fiance often lies awake at night and we have different…

Stuck with inches AND weight.
I have been thinking that my weight has been stuck for only this week, but when I looked back, I realize it has been two weeks since I lost any weight. In fact, I am up from my lowest weight so far and I've stayed there :grumble: On 4/30, I was 298.8. Since then I've gone back up to 300-301 and I have not been able to…

17y/o, 110 pound girl does it...why can't you?
It might be old, but I came across this video yesterday. I know very little about proper form on some of these things, so I don't know if she is doing everything right, but I found it very impressive. *WARNING* if you are at work or have little ears listening, or simply don't want to hear cursing, turn off the volume.…

How often do you clean?
I know this seems like an odd topic, but I'm just curious what the "norm" is. I grew up with parents that made me do chores, mostly dishes and garbage (I know! Poor me :sad:) but somehow, the house was never clean. Laundry everywhere, animal fur everywhere, we cleaned maybe once a month. Maybe. Now I clean daily. The daily…

What's your idea of sexy?
Lots of people post pictures of "typical" sexy people. I want to see what your idea of sexy is, typical or not! It can be of the gender of your choosing, no "ladies only" or "guys only" here! ;) Please do try to keep the pictures clean though...you naughty, naughty people! For me, I loooove Matt Smith. (DW fans, I swear to…

Healthy, fat, or skinny?
I recently came across this article on Yahoo: http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/h-m-uses-plus-size-model-to-showcase-swimwear-collection-and-the-skinny-girl-backlash-175911707.html Basically, TL;DR, H&M is using a "plus sized" (probably about a size 8-12, but plus sized for modeling standards) model for their new…

Kettlebell! Tips?
So today I am planning on starting a kettlebell routine at the gym. I found a really great beginners workout that doubles as cardio and I intend to do it after my walk/jog. I was wondering if anyone could share any tips with me on anything, weight to use, form, helpful hints, anything really! I Googled it but I would…

Logging Kettlebell workouts?
I have been interested in kettlebell workourts for the longest time. My gym has a wide variety of them, from square ones to round ones and any weight you could want. I looked up proper form on YouTube at the advice of some users here and in the process found a great routine for beginners like myself. However, it also…

Poundcake recipe--not healthy!
This is a recipe that I am posting at the request of my lovely friends. This poundcake is a mix between a traditional poundcake and an angel's food cake. It is lower on calories than most poundcakes (which are between 400-600 calories per slice) at 370 calories, or 296 if you cut it into 15 pieces rather than 12. So, by…

Two NSVs in one night! ;D
So last night my fiance and I were going to sleep, and he was rubbing my back. Then he gave me a little pat on the butt and then gave a sigh and said, "Your butt is getting smaller." For him, of course, he meant this as disappointment because he likes my butt huge, but for me it was a big thing! My *kitten* will always be…

Any makeup/beauty gurus on MFP?
Hello! I was just wondering if anyone else was a makeup and beauty product guru like myself. I'm hardly a pro, and I go out all the time without makeup, just like to use my face as a canvas from time to time! ;) If you're a beauty guru too, what products do you use? What's your favorite look? Hope this isn't a repeat…
