Hmm, I wasn't aware that this was in Midland (bout 90 minutes north of me).
I this it's one thing if you're truly transgendered... Why should you be treated differently?
I don't know really, just wondering out loud.

I think as long as you're still physically capable of peeing standing up, you should still use the men's locker room.

oh, baboon. poor sweet naïve baboon. yer out of control! i think the lady who looked over & saw someone who looked like tony soprano in lipstick and a blouse, staring at her hind end, should not have lost her gym membership. that's what i think. couldn't they just build a 3rd 'gender transition' locker-room? they'd basically only need 3 lockers & a shower. and a non judgmental towel guy

Planet Fitness seems weird to me. The market to people who DON'T work out and their rates are so low you wonder how they can stay open. I don't see how they van afford to stay open unless they're like one of those chintzy hotel gyms with a few light weight dumbells, one nautilus machine and a few treadmills.

I've heard the "unisex" bathroom idea. It might be too costly for businesses to add this to existing buildings, but it seem the way to go in the future? I've also heard about people wanting baby changing tables in the men's bathroom. Makes total sense to me. If you can't have a unisex or family bathroom in public, then I agree that baby changing tables should be in both bathrooms -- regardless of gender. |

i noticed at toys-r-us they have changing tables in the men's room, and also a "mother's room" for nursing or changing (although a mother is generally allowed to nurse anyplace by law, i believe) -- that's a nice idea. but it should just be a "changing room" or something like that. dads often need to change the baby too. gender reassignment must still be pretty rare. but it shouldn't cost that much for 'planet fitness' to set up a separate section, especially since they seen to be making a big deal about inclusiveness

One of the posters on that site mentioned they have free pizza and donuts on Thursdays. What the hell kind of gym is this?!!
For the past hew months I've been working hard to get in shape and through diet and exercise I've lost about 36 pounds. There's no way I could have done it if my own gym had free carb Thursdays!
And I'm all for diaper changing stands in men's bathrooms. They were a Godsend when Baboon Girl was a baby.

36 lbs? damn!!! way to go baboon! that's fantastic! what're you doing? share. i lost weight like a fiend at my last job, because we had weight loss competitions involving money, and mh is all about the benjamins
donuts at a gym?!! my damn job puts out pizza and donuts a lot. some of us are petitioning for a veggie platter, and even sushi! as elaine on seinfeld said, "we're all unhappy, but do we have to be fat too?"

Basically, I've just been working out like crazy and dieting. I'll usually eat a breakfast smoothie in the morning with protein and creatin added. Then for lunch and dinner I have chicken or fish and a green vegetable. If I get hungry, I'll have fruit for snacks. I work out a couple of hours five days a week. Since I can't work or drive anymore, my wife just drops me off at the gym on the way to taking the kid to school and then I walk back since it's close by. I'll do an hour of weights then an hour of cardio. I've added core training this week and I feel like I've been kicked in the stomach by a mule.

I've been going to 24e fitness. It's cool because it's basically always open. They give you one of those electronic key fobs so you can swipe it and let yourself in. at since I'm on medicare now, I qualify for the SIlver Sneakers program so I can start working out for free once my prepaid months are up!
I went hardcore because I was really starting to pork out. Plus, with not working, I'm like one of those guys in prison who has nothing to do so he lifts weights all day.

I just realized that sounded like Tom Smykowski from Office Space.
Just remember, if you hang in there long enough, good things can happen in this world. I mean, look at me.

Speaking of losing weight...
If you don't hear from me after tonight, it's because my wife killed me in my sleep.
My wife and I were having dinner out while my kid was in gymnastics class. She's been doing nutrasystem, so trying to be nice, I say, "Y'know, I can kinda tell you're looking smaller..."
For the rest of the night, I've heard, "KINDA?!!!"
