Sorry. It's the Lounge.

The last part is taken directly from the last movement of Jean Sibelius' Fifth Symphony.

And many MLMs target conservative women (in religious circles) as their 'independent consultants."

MLMs are one of the reasons I left FB.

Yes, it is an MLM. And I've been suspicious. I think you're right about who they target. Many of the members I've had contact with are stay-at-home moms with a high school education. IOW, not degreed professional women. Sure, there are men too, but it turns out that many of them join the groups so they can see pics of cleavage. (And, yes, they are older than 12.)

I do have one FB friend who is definitely not conservative, and we're being each other's support group at this point.

What's an MLM?

ETA - Never mind. Let me just say in my defense, Duuuuhhh

I will check that out.

I actually joined and have had a lot of success. The workouts really are good and there's something for everyone. I have all kinds of equipment, but wasn't getting results with it. Now I'm getting results and really want to stick with it. I just wish I could be with more like-minded people.

Enjoy your walking! I like it too and could do just that if only it would work for me.

will probably like the fitness forums, and maybe weight gain/body building if you lift. And there are groups, too, but you need to search for your interests like Piyo or what have you.

Send me a friend request and let me know it's you.

I started to, but then had second thoughts.

also happens to have a forum.

It wanted me to sign in or sign up, privacy agreements and all. I’ll try again next time I get a few minutes. Thanks!

This?

Controversy
In a 2015 posting to Cosmopolitan.com, Michelle Ruiz reports that some call Team BeachBody a "scheme".
She quotes Marion Nestle, PhD, a professor of nutrition and food studies at New York University, as saying:
"It never ceases to amaze me that anyone would fall for anything like this. ... It's about making money."

As for your comment:
“... it seems like all the Facebook groups are full of fans-of-the-orange-megalomaniac-pretend-president
and/or pervs and/or religious nuts”

At last count, I have 1,045 ‘friends’ on Facebook, none of whom are as you describe,
and all of whom hate Trump and none of whom are religious nuts (or I would have ‘un-friended’ them)

And if you can't get to a gym, the streaming workouts are really good. No, I'm not recruiting members and have no interest in doing so. I just want to stream the workouts and maybe talk to some other people who do the same.

I meant all the Facebook groups for Beachbody. These people are not my friends, they're just in the same fitness groups. I just had to block a perv in one group and the religious shit that gets posted (in a fitness group!) gets sickening. And just yesterday one member friended me and wanted to be my coach, but when I saw her FB page, I un-friended her rather quickly. She's sickeningly religious AND a Trump supporter...which I still can't wrap my mind around.

Not that I have looked, but haven't found any sites/forums to follow

I have a problem when I try to hang out on the beach because the people from Greenpeace usually show up to drag me back into the water.
