I injured myself taking off my sports bra... so therefore the logic is I should not wear bras! FREEDOM TO THE GIRLS!!! (o)(o)

I like the inevitable results of this story better than my own.

I have injured myself picking a pencil up from the ground...

...and wiping my own *kitten*.

:indifferent:

I somehow tweaked my neck pretty bad - ie a week off of work and a doctors visit (although it was a really nice week in the summer so it wasn't all bad) - by rolling over in bed.


(I can't top the wiping *kitten* one. I don't want to know)

Too bad. I'm going to tell you anyhow.

The twisting motion apparently strained my lower back...and significantly too. Missed a couple of days of work and was in pain for several weeks. (I would say that I was unable to workout for several weeks too, but this was during a time when I wasn't working out at all. Hmm, perhaps there's a correlation...)

I got my private message within about an hour of joining the group...

and promptly forwarded it to Olivia, asking her to deal with this situation. Let's see what she can do, if anything.

That's so... stalkerish. She's creepy.

I'd already contacted Olivia about it and just forwarded my most recent pm from Janebshaw. Out of fairness I thought I'd try to give her a chance to explain. Best I can tell she was run over by a Crossfitter in a previous life and has made it her mission in this current life to wipe out the sport completely.

I still don't understand your purpose of the pm. I'm not trying to be rude, but do you just send blanket pm's to everyone who joins the group?

I've never gotten a pm like yours before, so I'm a little confused.

Yes, as I have time. I send it to people that join the Crossfit group. There are things about Crossfit the box owners don't want members or potential members to know, but I think they deserve to know. I do not do Crossfit, I have never been involved with the program, but am tired of seeing people join Crossfit to improve their fitness and come away injured from trying to do their extreme workouts.

I've never done CF, never been involved, and don't know anyone that has done it..... But i want to protect you from injuries I've never seen happen to anyone.


Seems legit

When I responded to her PM, I asked her if she actually KNEW people who were injured or just read about them on the internet. No response.

It wasn't my first hand tear. It wasn't my first box jump fail. It wasn't my first Fran.

It was a message from JaneBShaw that made me feel like a true Crossfitter!

Ha Ha - GOLD!

Well.... I am an official crossfitter. I just got my message from our resident mosquito.... And have sent it on to Olivia. :huh:

Congratulations on being legit.

Personally, I had a lengthy exchange with her by PM earlier today.

Or said another way,

1 day AMRAP:
debunking bogus facts and ill-conceived conclusions based on faulty extrapolation of suspect anecdotal information

I believe my final score was 5 rounds...

...and it ended with the ball in her court.

The points I remember were her assertions that 1) I was guilty of child abuse for subjecting my 8 yo son to a WOD this morning, and 2) I should look into the YMCA instead of the crossfit box I'm attending now. This despite my pointing out that I had been a member of the Y for nearly 20 years and they did not offer what I wanted at this point in my pursuit of fitness (equipment and knowledgeable trainers).

Still haven't gotten my warning message. Could it be that Jane just doesn't care about my well-being?

Ha! You will - just post a few well informed posts in Crossfit Love and she will soon track you down - then you will be ONE OF US!

She killed my Crossfit Thread, so I started a blog

Keep reporting her to the mods. I got my PM from Jane on July 1 (while I was on vacation) and is was nearly the exact same PM I had previously gotten from Health_Gal, so it was immediatly forwarded to Olivia. If she has multiple accounts (and I think we all know that she does), she is in violation of the TOS of the site. They can (and most certianly should) block her IP. It won't stop her from creating an account at, say, the local library, but it certianly might help.

I just got my first visit from Health_Gal! I feel so special. She's been blocked, but her message to me was in direct reply to something I posted on a public board asking about Crossfit. I understand if you don't like it, it's not for everyone... but seriously, crazy lady, stop harrassing everyone that enjoys it!
