    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.

    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??!!!!

    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 :smile:

    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

    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.

    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...
