Older Men vs Younger Men?
Or men one's own age? Ladies, what do you think? My partner is 17 years older than me and my ex husband is 5 years younger. I guess I'm not so into men my own age. :bigsmile: If I had to, though, I'll stick with the older guys.

Getting Along with the Ex-spouse?
How many of you guys get along or otherwise have a civil relationship with your ex husband/wife/partner? How many of you do not? Does anyone consider it "weird" to get along with them? For those of you that do maintain a decent relationship, are there children involved? Reason I ask is because I get along with my ex…

Retail Hell (a rant) for my retail brethren.
Some of you know I work specialty retail and have seen my rants on my wall, but I wanted to post on here to see if anyone else cared to share some of your own experiences in the retail trenches. Some of my worst experiences have been: 1. The azzhole that condescends to me because he thinks a "little woman" (their words)…

The "Other" Fitness Site?
Have any of you come over from the other site? Livestrong? I did and I don't regret it. I didn't like the way one had to log food, plus their forums are brutal. Gods forbid you asked a newbie question. Or else that was my experience. I enjoy MFP because of the ease of logging: You have a recent foods tab, most used etc.…

Cultural Issues and Weight Loss/Fitness
Has anyone run into drama from family/friends etc due to your weight loss/fitness especially those of you (including myself) that belong to a culture/group where eating a lot or being overweight is accepted? For example, I am Mexican. Eating and eating big at family gatherings is a big deal. Most dishes are either prepared…

Dip Station or Sandbag?
I want both but can only swing getting one this month. Which would you guys recommend I get? Which is easier to substitute with something else?

Asian BMI Chart?
I've seen Asian BMI charts out there and so my question is: If someone is of small enough frame, should they go by that chart? I'm not Asian but I have a very small frame. Either way, I know and understand I am underweight (currently trying to gain weight) but not AS Skeletor with the Asian chart. I suppose my question is,…

Fans of the Change Series by SM Stirling?
Anyone out there fans of this series? I'm just starting to re-read this again and I'm in love all over again. Yeah I know I sound like a dorky fangirl.

"Rude" California peeps
I vacationed in Las Vegas this summer and pretty much everywhere I went and showed my ID, I was told I wasn't acting like a typical California tourist. A few people stated that we tended to be rude and overbearing. For those of you that do not live in California, is that really how we come across??

Dressing "age appropriate", what do you think?
I recently came across an article on yahoo Shine regarding women dressing according to their age. It said that after 35 one shouldn't wear bikini's and miniskirts. Also, certain brands were taboo. Now, in my case, I'm 35 and in the best shape of my life. In addition, I tend to look a bit younger than my age. I'm also a bit…

Everyone hates the "skinny b1tch"!
This may be off topic but...anyway, why do some people assume because someone is "thin" and on MFP that either they have 1. an eating disorder. 2. are crazy? I haven't found that here but I was on the other site and I got a lot of hate. Don't people realize that you can be skinny fat and extremely unhealthy? There is such…

Money spent on New Clothes
How much have you guys spent on buying new clothes to fit the new you? I think I've spent at least $500. That includes alterations on my old stuff and TONS of secondhand store shopping.

"Before" food?
Has anyone, out of curiousity, ever logged the foods you'd eat before? By before I mean before one started dieting, eating healthier, etc? I did once on another site similar to this and I was at 3500 by lunch.

NorCal Newbie
I'm not so "new" because I've been logging for at least a month now, but I never had the chance to introduce myself. I'm 35, and right now I'm at 105lbs. 5'3" and trying to gain muscle. I started out at 125lbs BUT (and yes, I know 125 isn't "bad" but you'll see what I mean), I had a 34" waist, 38" hips and forget my…
