    If the sessions were with a powerlifting PT or boxing coach, I'd be ecstatic.

    If it was just run-of-the-mill personal training like I've seen around my gym, I'd probably wonder if he'd ever listened to anything I'd ever told him about how I workout.

    I would jump my husband so fast his head would spin.
    The only thing that could top that would be a power rack or squat rack.

    No...as long as the PT was good. Too many of them don't know what they're doing or are straight up obnoxious.

    is this some sort of sociological study?

    IT IS!

    i know an arm chair sociologist when i see one!!!

    ...you post this everywhere today....

    That's the second time I've seen that turtle. I'm still impressed, and my fiance is threatening to leave me unless I can learn to make food into animals like you. Damn you.

    If you've only came across it twice today you haven't spent too much time in the forums
    I haven't spend much time in the forums today (compared to some)...but the first time I saw it, it was only the turtle....

    Offended. "Are you saying my form is messed up?!"

    Also, how come I didn't know I had a significant other? NOBODY TELLS ME ANYTHING!

    It has been interesting to watch as, this morning, people would get distracted by it and start to comment on it or post other things, and as the day has progressed, people have ignored it more and more, until it has come full circle to being an effective hijack because it's been done so much people are wondering if it means anything, and if so - what?

    Depends, if they are trying to get fit and were considering it already then go for it. If not that might be a bad move...

    Yeah, I've been pretty busy today, not enough time for lovely meaty animals.
    If I'd made that I'd post it everywhere.

    Seriously though, mac and cheese in a meatloaf WITH BACON?! what genius came up with that? It's like... well, I can't say what it's like, because that will get me banned from the forums I'd guess. Needless to say, I'm excited.

    I would not because my Wife knows I'm trying to get into better shape, lose weight, and take care of myself.

    I can tell you that if I was content with my body and was not intending/trying to make changes, yeah, it would probably piss me off.

    Consider this your warning....getting something like that for your S.O. when they have not mentioned, suggested, or otherwise stated they want to get in better shape...it could be seen as you saying "Yeah, yer fat and I have a problem with it."

    Nope. My now husband got me sessions early on because he saw how hard I work and wasn't getting the results I wanted and I surely couldn't afford it as a single mother.

    If you have weight to lose, and you're already interested in health and your SO knows, then no. If it's out of the blue...that would just plain suck and most people would be offended.

    yup, refer to pretty much all responses to it
  • Personally, I would not be offended because my boyfriend knows how important my fitness is to me - it's better than last minute candy/flowers from RiteAid, imo.

    If I got something like that for my wife, her response would be "Find someone to watch Chaos (our 3 year old), and just tell me where and when."

    And in regards to the meat pics...

    AMATEUR. Try a maple syrup (and I mean REAL maple syrup, not the watered down stuff you see in most stores) marinaded pork tenderloin rubbed with cracked pepper, then wrapped in thick cut bacon that's been marinating in the maple as well. Then sprinkle on more pepper, throw into a slow smoker that's packed with hickory for about 6-8 hours. Slice and serve.

    When you see that 1/2" of pink smoke ring and taste the tender sweetness, you think you've gone to heaven.
