hey hun
Any other women here creeped out when a guy calls you hun or other pet names in the email stage before actually meeting? I'm talking to this one guy online and he seems nice except for this one thing and it freaks me out! Can (or how) do I ask him to stop?

Ragu commercial
Has anyone seen this Ragu commercial yet? Amusing and weird all at the same time, but do we need to glamorize emotional eating, especially in kids? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWD0wUmO8jk&feature=player_embedded

Age challenge
The past few days I've challenged myself to look at online dating profiles and guess the person's age before reading it. For the most part I'm accurate within a year or two, however, there were a few that I guessed 10 years older or younger and was proven wrong (that's a huge difference!). I'm fairly open with the age…

Do you need a gaggle?

Men at Work
Has anyone seen that new show Men at Work on TBS? It's kind of a male version of Sex and the City, but funny. The episode last night was all about texting and dating and made me think of my Single Peeps. Think you can see episodes online here: http://www.tbs.com/shows/menatwork/

balance or wobble board workouts
I just bought a basic balance board (like this one: http://www.budovideos.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=26165) and LOVE it so far! Wondering if anyone has any DVD workouts they could recommend to use with it? *I know Wii has some but I don't own one of those.

a fresh start
This post got me thinking because it's where I was just a few months ago: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/612222-no-desire-to-date So, after you've taken the proper time to heal and work on yourself (I'm inserting a big thank you to MFP & Single Peeps here!) following a breakup, what are some of the things that…

I <3 the arc trainer
I love the arc trainer at my gym! If you don't know what that is, see here: http://www.cybexintl.com/products/770A/intro.aspx Even though it is primarily a lower body workout, I noticed that it is really strengthening my arms too! Every few minutes I change where I hold the handles and position my upper body weight so my…

Friday Blues?
Does anyone else get the Friday or weekend blues sometimes? I've got great friends, lots of hobbies and a dog to keep me busy, but just can't shake the feeling that SOMEONE is missing to share it with. Today is just one of those days for me. So, tell me, how do you all deal when you're lonely?

MFP Groups
Wondering what other fun and chatty MFP Groups you all belong to? Too bad there isn't a directory of them, just the 'popular' and 'newest' are listed on the Groups page unless you search.

New runners who don't want to be seen
This thread reminded me that I have a great trick for new runners who don't want to be watched when starting out: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/517244-when-i-see-overweight-people-running When I first started running I didn't want anyone to see me. This is going to sound very strange, but I figured out a great…

what healthy food do you crave?
I've never really enjoyed the taste of bananas, but lately I can't seem to get enough of them! Assuming either I need extra nutrients they contain or my palate has adapted due to my lifestyle change (Bananas are a natural food, so please don't lecture me that they are high in carbs anyone...thanks!). Anyone else have a…

new scale?
I have a very basic scale, which has been fine. Wondering if it's worth the investment to buy the kind that can determine body fat %, etc. If you have one and swear by it, please tell me what brand and why it helps you more than a basic one. Thanks!

MFP & online dating
I just started an Eharmony account several weeks ago. It's going ok, but I definitely haven't had any sparks yet. Does anyone else wish MFP had a dating component to it? Just seems that for most of us, this weight loss and fitness journey is such a huge part of our lives now and that could be a great way to bond as opposed…

Clothing Swap
Since we're all kind of local, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in getting together for a clothing swap? It could be a great way to meet MFP people in person, have some fun and exchange clothes. My guess is that many of us are in-between sizes and don't want to spend a lot during our transformations, so this…

Ok, the snooze alarm won today. I did walk the dog (which I don't usually count as exercise) and forced myself to do some sit-ups just to ease the guilt. Anyone else get a workout in this morning?

Early Bird Workouts!
In the group section, we had an Early Bird Club for those who want to encourage one another on their morning workouts. No one seems to be posting anymore, so I thought I'd see if there is new interest for a group that embraces morning workouts? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/groups/home/1146-early-bird-club
