15 days ago - my birthday night out :)

depends on the weather?

supercute

Hi all, thanks for the input. I did purposefully avoid usung the pad because I've read before that it's a bad idea so glad it looks like I made the right decision :) Can anyone tell me where my hands should be? Should they be above my shoulders on the bar quite tight or wider towards the ends of the bar? I've looked at a…

If you don't already, you should model. Gorgeous!

This. Also, reminding myself it's always a choice. If I choose not to work out I'm choosing not to reach my goals. What you gonna choose? :)

Striking. Beautiful.

Everyone is so helpful, lots of tips and things to think about. Thanks so much.

Wow! This really is amazing. Congratulations on the bodybuilding comps- such an inspiration.

@noelfigart1 You're so right - it's hard to accept when it's yourself though - we need to learn to be as kind to ourselves as we are to other people! Good luck

I'm new :)

why ever not

Well I have now...

Nope. Though I like your glasses :)

Jeez! 10! @xfeyonax

Last nights pizza will usually cut it! haha

deal

I'd make us a cup of tea and see if I could get you to make me some breakfast

I'm always frightened I'd get my hair caught in the mechanical bits underneath when I fall off! Marathon watch science documentaries?

Dancing Running fast Being strong Muscles

Wow I totally see myself in your post! I relax as soon as I am nearly there and get sloppy. So i put weight backon and it also means I never really get there. I want to reach my full potential! Sending you a request :smiley:

Mine means absolutely nothing, I've used it before and I can't remember why or where - I just like it. I think my phone has autocorrected my name to holland before so that's where that bit comes from.

Orcas. I have dreams about them and just thinking about it brings me out in a cold sweat. I love them though.

Thanks! I hope I can get there too :) You're right, people make it look very easy! Feels good to know it's ok to just go with the bar at first.

Smashed it!

Like others have said, is it your friends making you feel that way or is it coming from you? I know that when I have a night out with my girlfriends it usually goes: Me in the mirror: Oh I look super cute tonight Me when I meet friends: Oh my god I am so fat and ugly and they're all so gorgeous and thin and glamorous But…

I looked like a baby all through school, a little chubby baby - not sure what I weighed but I'd guess a little more than I do now. I'm 129lbs - looking to get back to around 117 or there abouts - lose the belly and keep the butt :) I'm 5'2"

Thanks guys, yeah it was an olympic bar - nope nobody spotting and I think that was half the problem - I was scared I would topple backwards and look daft so I was more cautious. About the shoulder thing though - it was more like fatigue than the actual bar digging in - I wonder if I am holding it wrong? Off to youtube I…
