Anybody believe wholeheartedly in Astrology/Zodiac Signs? lo
Lately, I've been really into Zodiac and astrology. I'm a cancer. A TRUE Cancer without a doubt. (super sensitive and moody) definitely not for everyone. I believe there are certain signs I'm compatible with and some I am NOT. I've been "talking" too a guy who is a Libra. Apparently a Cancer and a Libra are doomed for…

Old member- looking for new like-minded friends
I’ve been on here for a while. When I first joined I used the site (plus cardio kickboxing) to help me lose 70lbs.

I have quite a few friends on here but many of them are inactive and…

Polar m400???
I just got the polar m400 and I had my first workout with it today ... I did back super sets and HIIT. I have the ft4 and the ft7 switch I love but I needed a new HRM. I can't seem to get the hang of this damn watch. It's so disappointing. I was told it's geared to all different types of fitness but it feels like it's more…

Healthy lifestyle/healthy eating habits NOW I have cavities? ;0
I eat fairly healthy and try to watch my sugar intake. ( I do partake in the occasional cheat meal but it's never something that I think would cause sudden cavities).

painful bloating? TOO much Fiber?
I noticed that most of my time at work is spent bloated and sometimes it's really painful.

Women with curly/kinky hair... anyone sick of it?
I've been relaxer free for 3+ years and it's been a journey lol My hair is a wild mix between 3 different cultures and at times I can't stand it. I'm either at work (i'm a nurse) or I'm at the gym so my hair is usually up. Which means I have to use a TON of gel/products to slick it back. I get compliments but unfortunately…

how do people feel about aspartame?
it's in so many gums and packaged products people swear by (Extras Dessert gums, puddings andjello packages) I AM aspartame-free and it SUCKS lol aspartame-free gum tastes like cardboard and the flavour is gone in less than a second. I don't eat pudding or jello but sometimes recipes call for it and that damn aspartame

Do "all men" secretly have a thing for their "female friend"
I was just wondering about this... I know some people might know how to keep it platonic but then some people are just stupid.
