Looking for people that are not easily offended to talk fitness.

I am crass, tactless, completely insensitive, and find myself constantly insulting people without intention. Therefore, I would like to start a group for people like me, if there are any, who can help motivate/ get motivated without getting angry when I say something completely inappropriate. I promise to conform to the basic guidelines as set out by our wonderful mediators, but I can't promise I won't encourage discussions about sex, politics, and any other such drama-starters.

In short, I know that somewhere, over the rainbow, poorly motivated sarcastic wiseguys like myself are looking for a kick in the pants, and I'm here for you friends. Let me kick you in the pants. (Metaphorically of course)

Now if that was going on often at any gym in my vicinity, I might actually want to go! There's never anything on the TVs and I need visual entertainment, music is not enough. And APPARENTLY you're not supposed to stare at the good looking people while they work out. I say: If you don't want to be stared at, either become ugly or buy a home gym.

i have the same problem. i dont mean to but if i see a pair of nice looking legs i steal glances at them. doesn't matter who owns them.  i've never really caught anyone staring at me, guess im not that good looking.

at one weight watchers meeting they were trying to get people to go to the gym, by saying, 'oh no one looks at each other, everyone is to busy looking at themselves' .  i really wanted to chime in that its just not true. people look, they may stare at the better looking bodies but people still look.

i love the idea of ass and waffle sandwiches yumm-O!

my hubby's lebanese so REAL pita is a staple in the house-the WW is 4 pts if you were following weight watchers, the white 6-but they are huge and you can stuff them with roasted veggies or whatever(the idea of ass pitas come to mind  LOL) also Dempster's whole grain prebiotic tortilla wraps are awesome

speaking of sex burning calories...it sure makes me feel less guilty about eating a hamburger

 

now i have a question-when this site gives you a calorie target, is that amount of calories just to maintain your weight, or is it your target to lose weight? it didn't clarify and i got worried 'cuz the number seemed high.

as for the tree on the moon subject-it wouldn't fall in the first place. i wish we had less gravity i wouldn't have to wear such uncomfortable push-up bras lol

If I remember correctly you have to specify, or you don't get an answer, I would go back and do it again. Otherwise, assume it's maintenance, in my opinion. Also, if you don't choose a specific date to reach your goal weight, they pick something ridiculously far into the future. They tell me to stick to 1200 cals which made me sad initially, because everywhere it says that's the bare minimum any woman should eat.

m_c_85, totally agree with the "ridiculously far into the future"

hmmm... i have only 38 pounds to lose, why don't i just go ahead and take five and a half years to lose it? absurd, and lame!

and as for the people who feel uncomfortable openly talking about sex... well, obviously they aren't doing it right in the first place, so they can't.

ok, so i misssed something here, what the heck is "..ass and waffle sandwiches yumm-O!"

im not a bread fan but i do like pitas

im not sure what i am doing right, but i normally bite my nails (& pick cuticles, i know, ewww!!!, i guess we all have our disgusting habits) but i started growing them again and for some reason they are much stronger than they usually are. im not sure what i am eating, i started this new protein powder a couple of weeks ago, but i dont think its from that cuz im sure it would take more than a couple of weeks to grow new nails??

this thread is so much better than some i've been on. i was just looking at the post about vegetarian vs pescetarian, & talk about nit-picking and people getting on their high-horse. i thought this was supposed to be a support forum? anyway, my rant for the day.

I know! You'd think they'd realize that everyone wants to lose as much weight as possible in the shortest amount of time without compromising health. I haven't met one single person on here that wants to take the slow and steady route. The second someone sees that they're not going to reach their goal until 2011, they're going to lose courage and fail. It's not rocket science.

 Thank RN. I too find people confusing personal opinions with statements of fact.

Favourite misused word with malicious intent of the day: Ignorant. I love when people misuse ignorant. They're completely excusing the person they were accusing by saying they're uneducated. (and making themselves look like complete nobs in the process)

And keep ranting! The more you rant, the less it looks like I'm talking to myself on my own thread!

but there's grunting & then there's grunting. in one gym all the guys would try to out grunt each other so bad that it sounded like some male-gay-orgy porno. i wonder what they would've said to me if i asked them if they were rehearsing for 'Denis does all of Dallas'?

I do try to grunt in the most feminine way possible! 

I wouldn't mind hearing some rehearsing going on.  :o)  My gym has got some pretty hot guys in it.  I am not ashamed to admit I love looking at gorgeous men.  I'm finding that as I get healthier, I want more sex.  My husband's biggest complaint has been lack of frequency in our marital relations.  When I was heavier, I just wasn't that interested.  Now that I've slimmed down and muscled up, I'm craving it more often.   Can I divulge that or is that TMI?  I figured it was okay for this thread.

Hi everyone, I'm just gonna stick my nose out of the closet here.  I never get offended even when I probably should.  Can't hold a gudge to save my life (would have to put down whatever I am currently eating).  Don't really care if other people get my sense of humour or not.  I am fairly mild and well mannered (read passive, shy  and fat) could use some companions as I work on this fat thing along with all the other 'things'.  I am only motivated when I see a mirror so I've been thinking about getting rid of my mirrors :)

Ooo ooo - i'm a little late arriving - but I'm in on this.

I like to be helpful - but I like good conversations like this too with a little bit of spunk to them!!!

I cut out sandwich bread for the most part. I still eat bread - just to save the calories I am now a super huge fan of "Meat on Salad" lunches. I use leftover meat - microwave - then dump on a salad with cheese (sometimes I mic the cheese too to make it warm and gooey) Technically anything of my meat on salads could be put in bread and called a sandwich. I realized I could eat a lot more stuff without that extra calorie add on at lunch.

I love how there is "moderate effort" for sex on the activity log. Would anyone like to rank themselves as putting in a "moderate effort" during sex? If so I wouldn't want you as my sexual partner. LAME.

Well, it's better than "Sexual Activity, Passive - Light Effort, Kissing, Hugging".

 

Any sandwich can become a salad. And you get more of the sandwich bulk that way, without bread taking up caloric/physical room. I'm not really as fond of bread as I used to be and my main carbohydrate is probably rice, or english muffins. I find them really filling.

Can I divulge that or is that TMI?  I figured it was okay for this thread.

 As mistress of this thread I do hereby declare: there is never enough information! Let's hear the nitty gritty stuff that makes my stomach cringe! (Might help curb the appetite) And might I say, I am a MAJOR horndog, and I've still got 60-70 pounds to lose so if that's what happens with weight loss- I'm in trouble.

"Well, it's better than "Sexual Activity, Passive - Light Effort, Kissing, Hugging"."

Does being restrained qualify as being passive?  If so, I'm okay with passive.   Kissing is fine, but, perhaps, not only on the mouth.

yup losing only 20 lbs has definitely increased my sex drive 100 fold-has something to do with dopamines and seratonin and blah blah blah-i just think im so obsessed with my body now that i wanna see how it looks upside down and twisted in the mirror LOL-how's that for curbing your appetite????

Here here. TMI is banned.

I've heard you are supposed to "do what you love" for your job. That means I should be a prostitute (high class of course... we're not talking sketchy crack whore here).  Can you imagine getting PAID to be a horn-dog?!  It sounds too good to be true.  Which of course it is.... since it comes with all those risky STD's and scuzzy loser guys.

So I will be stay satisfied with what I can get from my lovely BF who tries his best to keep up to my much too large sexual appitite.

And does anyone else disagree with the calorie burn on there? I swear I get a better workout in the bedroom (or any other room for that matter) than from most cardio equipment...

Seriously, I'm happy now that I can talk dirtiness with people on here! Woo hoo! SSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.& nbsp;I can't wait until I get excited to show my body. I'm certainly never going to one of those, "a handkerchief for the top and a loin cloth for the bottom" kind of girls. I will always leave some to the imagination. But MAN do I want a body that I can twist around and not have several rolls form. That would be nice.

"I've heard you are supposed to "do what you love" for your job. That means I should be a prostitute (high class of course... we're not talking sketchy crack whore here).  Can you imagine getting PAID to be a horn-dog?!" 

That is so real!  Thanks for that.  I'm a wh**e at heart.  I'm always thinking naughty thoughts.  An 18-year-old boy ain't got nothin' on me.  That's why I'm a smutty romance reader.  Whew!  The stuff those authors come up with.  <fanning myself>

OOOOOOH we are getting down and dirty now..where's the beef..uhhum..I mean fitness ? I don't know about anyone else but it sure feels like I am burning a hell of alot more calories than the vigorous effort says!!!! Maybe I need to get the pole out ;0)

Here's a question I would like to toss into the thread... Should the people that can have as much sex as they desire be overly sensitive to those that can't? And what I mean by this is, I've noticed on some of the threads, when someone mentions sex, usually someone else comes along and tries to play the "you should feel sorry for me cuz I ain't gettin any" card. My question is: Should I? Should You? Should one not mention vodka around an alcoholic, or ice cream to a dieter?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts....
