You already look pretty healthy. I like your attitude! Feel free to add me.

This guy looks like a bad-*kitten* Viking and I would gladly go into battle with him.

I'm also doing awesome. Thanks for asking. Good to hear you're doing "tip top"

I saw Braveheart a few times. Is that good enough? Feel free to add me, if it is. :)

Anyone feel free to add me as well. The more, the merrier.

@pam_1965 Happy birthday!

Welcome back. You got it this time!

Mine is open, but I don't think you'll get any inspiration from it.

Don't expect anything from anyone, ever. You'll grow to be self-reliant and it's a nice little surprise when people come through for you. I think expectation management is the most important part of any relationship. Oh, and communication or whatever :tongue:

Congrats! That's amazing progress. So inspirational.

Man, I wish my gym had crazy mirrors. I want the ones they have at the Disney Land haunted mansion. Have a silly ghost appear next to you, while you pump some iron.

I log my planks under strength exercises, to reference later. So it reads like "3 sets, 120 reps" for 2-minute planks. Try some mountain climbers!

@ShansGotGoals stick with it! I've found pull-ups to be the prime example of "if you don't use it, you lose it" and they can take forever to develop. Rome wasn't built in a day. Be patient and I think you'll be happy with the results. For the pyramid, make sure you take adequate breaks between sets. Not too long, but long…

I've done a little in the past. It was awesome. Very brutal and not for everyone.

"Peace, Love, and Pain" (the lip piercing) Aww, I wasn't fast enough.

Hi. Great talk :D

I like your attitude! You don't meet many under-height people who are willing to do something about it. :p Seriously, though good luck, Stacey.

I have a granola bar on the way to the gym and a shake on the way out. That's pretty much it for breakfast.

Welcome back and good luck. Feel free to add me if you think we'd be good fitness pals.

I confess that I believe pescetarians eat only insects. I am going to google this, shortly, however.

Hi. I think everyone else around here will probably tell you the same thing, but they might have some better tricks or methods. As long as you take in more calories than you burn, by walking around all the time, you'll gain. Maybe just try some high-calorie shakes as well as logging and tracking your calories in/out.

I've always heard that by the time you feel thirsty, you're already behind. Probably easier for guys to check our hydration level. We used to have hydration "Pee color" charts in the latrines, in the Army.

I'm always down for more friends. Feel free to add me.

Hey Phil, I'm sure you're already doing push-ups. I would also recommend dips and planks.

I thought I was taking it easy this morning on day one, starting with 8 reps. It's the one-minute recovery times that killed me. What an eye-opener. Looks like there's plenty of room to improve. haha.

Congrats, Joanna! I'm looking forward to hearing how much you're going to rock at pull-ups after this.

@Annie_858 hands-down. Inside and out, she's so incredibly beautiful.

That's how you know you're working hard. The soreness should start to taper off as you get used to exercising more. You could always stretch or try foam-rolling. Personally, after rolling my IT bands, I'd rather be sore. haha

Brutal competition in here. Times like this, I'm glad I don't know how to post pictures.
