Photobucket sucks. I used it initially and it was okay. Then they "improved" it, a.k.a. RUINED IT COMPLETELY and I never use it anymore.

juliemouse83

Well, crap. I was kinda hoping that I could find an image hosting site that would actually let me SEE the pictures from here, but apparently they have killed most ALL of them here at work. *sigh*

I like imgur.com for posting pictures way better because it has 3 preset picture sizes. Original, Large thumbnail, and Small thumbnail. The large thumbnail is usually perfect for MFP

I just never could get used to photobucket

Can you write on the pictures using imgur.com? That's the thing I like about photobucket, but the rest of it is CRAP

Yes you can.

Pretty sure you can just log in with a google account so i dont think you even have to make a new one.

Okay I got on there....but it still won't let me resize properly and I don't see the 3 options that you referred to for sizing. What am I doing wrong??!!!!

I found the 3 options.....I changed it but still won't go smaller! OMG I am so frustrated!

So I think I'm learning from these back pictures that I need to get a tattoo...

ETA: And no, no smart phone. One of the few people left on the planet with a dumb phone. But my plan is only $30 a month

Jealous. Just because I think at the gym I'm going to start getting some looks because I don't put down 300+lbs down quietly. Ah well screw em. Still would like to lift at home though.

Okay I really do feel stupid right now, but what do you mean by "post it" ? lol do I copy and paste the location here? or use one of the links that they show? I'm sorry but I'm completely lost right now!

I tried to take some back pictures this morning, but kept taking them of the back of my head (it was 6am). So, I gave up and did measurements instead. The last set I took was from 2011. Generally, I'm up overall, which was to be expected since I gained some weight, but it wasn't anything crazy except around my waist (where I carry almost all of my weight) was a 3" gain. I'm hoping to get some serious shaping out of this experience, otherwise, I'm going to look like a board: straight up and down. There's only a 2" difference between my hips and waist.

Workout B to commence in about an hour.

Sorry my fault. Ok so once you have the image uploaded and selected you should see a box with 6 html codes and then the size of the image box is in the lower right. So what you want to do is select the size you want and in most cases for MFP its going to be Large thumbnail. Then Copy the address from BBCode (Message board and forums) and then paste it in and change the IMG like you normally would

Sexy back thread is awesome!! been stalking it since yesterday.

katie__pillar

Off to the gym tonight and I'm determined to go up to 45lbs on bench press and 55 on squats. Have to play it by ear on rows, I think I was 55lbs on those last time (not got my phone to hand) and I'm not sure if I can go up today. Wish me luck!

Might try to get a back pic later too. I'm slightly obsessed with flexing now I'm getting into SL - and I love my quads! Going by every woman in my family ever, I'm never going to have skinny legs so I'd much rather have monster muscly ones than flabby ones.

kit_katty

Wow! I took some photos with my phone but sooo need to get them on my computer, so I can join the back pic club... lol.

Good photos everyone!

Sigh, I'm taking a few days off pretty much ALL exercising. :frown: Giving my wrist a rest, my knee a rest, which pretty much negates most exercises. :sad: Hoping that Sunday I can get my next Stronglifts in...

^^^^^That's me!!! It worked!

Thanks Doozer! :drinker:


And I'm soooo super duper sorry for all of my bad posts!

Nicely done, Vegas! (Also I found all the posting pics posts to be kind of entertaining.)

I'm hiding in my team office...I can't have tech in the testing room and I needed a break...so just popping in to say hi.

vashnic

Partial roll of shame today at the benches. :sad:

Did well in squats and rows, hurried over to finish up on presses as it was getting close to class time. Grabbed a couple 10s (or so I thought...) from the rack, stuck 'em on the bar, and went HEAVE! :happy:

Then! :noway: :noway:

Do not accidentally grab a 25 pounder when you mean to grab a 10. :sad: :sad: Bar will tilt crazily and scare the stuffing out of you, whereupon you will drop the bar on your tummy and try to sit up and then have the whole room descend to save you. :laugh:

Then pretend that it was all part of your workout plan.

jayliospecky

Not to take anything away from backs or anything, but I moved on to legs today.

Will_Thrust_For_Candy

Thanks Ladies!

You know yesterday I was so concerned about some "fat" rolls. Well now that I'm actually looking at it, it turns out that's my ribcage and the nip at my waist.....not so much fat rolls :laugh:

Wow, silly women we are sometimes!


@jay.....sexy leg lady! I might decide to show one of the potential "Chive" pics I took yesterday

Juliejustsaying

this has very little to do with anything...but I am finishing week 4 of SL tonight, and I thought I needed a bonus...so I finally ordered the skully kitty tank/booty shorts I've been craving since the concert...bwahahahahah and no, :noway: I won't be wearing JUST this to the gym...in case you're worried Doozer. I have a thing for heavy rock and skulls...well and dragon tattoos...and boys...and um lots of other stuff that is too TMI for my currrent mood....you're welcome.

My rib cage sticks out too. *pokes it* like, a LOT - lord knows how bad it would look if I ever got really lean.

And yes, those legs. Wow.

It's starting to sound like Darwin is you hair and shirt twinsie but maybe we're body twinsies lol

chunkmunk

@jay: WOW on the legs.

@all: Wish I could join you on the back pics. But I'm a) incompetent with a phone and b) at work. Maybe tomorrow.

extraordinary_machine

*wolf whistle* damn, jay...schmexy leg!

Auddii and Darwin, look at your waist!! Getting tiny.

I'm doing B today--going for 150 deads. Holla! Oh, and 65 OHP. If you hear crying, it's me...failing.

if I hear you crying from all the way over here, my telepathy has finally developed. Its gonna be sweet.

Er I mean...gosh I hope you make it! 65 on the oHP was my fail point. I failed there for months .... deloaded, failed, deloaded, failed some more. Messed myself up by trying to eat a deficit and failed some more. So really if you get it in the next, I dunno, 4 months, you're probably still doing great compared to me. -_-

extraordinary_machine

telepathy would be so awesome...unless you couldn't turn it off like Buffy in that one episode of BtVS, that would just suck.
