Had -50 yesterday with the wind chill. NT baby.

Freshly brewed at home? - black. Freshly brewed from cafe/restaurant? - with a little cream. But my preference when I have the time to make it is iced with milk. Yeah that's a little OCD/weirdo territory but I ams whose I ams.

My mirror betrayed me one morning after a shower. Can you believe that?! I trusted it to lie to me for years but instead it just decides to randomly show me the truth... Ouch.

I think we're missing a big point here... as evidenced by the responses I think what's important is no matter where you do it, you do it. Home or gym it doesn't seem to stop anyone from putting in work so high fives all around.

So how much we talking here like $300? Ok 4, final offer. When does the motivation happen?

This ^ Although I can see OP's appeal of the accountability that comes with a coach. Especially given the financial compensation factor and not wanting to waste it. Funny story, my brother is a Type-1 Diabetic (that's not what's funny) and while the average person not affected by or knows anyone affected by Diabetes really…

Well color me offended!... Kidding. I totally see what you're getting at OP. I think what needs to be said is that this is mostly directed to people who are literally only here to find others who will "keep them accountable" as if that is the answer. We all know its not. Having a strong support group is one thing, but if…

For me it comes down to one simple question - are there cute girls there? Kidding. Sort of. Personally, I can't do home workouts for two reasons - lack of proper equipment (because I like to lift), and environment. That whole don't *kitten* where you sleep idea. I need a proper space to feel in the moment and get the most…

I've got a true story that could have ended badly. Last year I went on a solo backpacking trip to South East Asia. I had never done a trip of this magnitude and length before, let alone by myself so I was already pretty nervous about the whole thing. I also hadn't done too much planning going into it, so there was that…

I'd lift with ya.

That's red heads. Gosh we're so misunderstood. This is why we needed a safe place to begin with.

True. I for one welcome anyone who wants to peep on my scantily clad anti-progress pics. Have fun keeping your lunch in. I like to think I'm doing a service to other users by ruining their appetites.

Whoa whoa whoa... us creepers, I mean those creepers are people with feelings too ya know.

Now hold on a minute. It's 2018, find your own "safe place/zone" or "neutral eye color washroom" this is for our people and the cops can't do a damn thing.

Those eyes though... :o

I'm reading all this really inspiring and awesome stuff ya'll are proud (rightly so) to have accomplished and I'm all here like... umm, I put on an old sweater (that I haven't worn in 2 years because well, ya know, weight) and liked how I looked...

Damn, made that a little too easy.

Deadlift seems popular among everyone here so I'll add my second favorite - barbell rows.

I second these. I like Hyde because I don't feel jittery when I use it. Also, any of the Monster Energy Drinks "Ultra" lineup. 0 Sugar, 10 Cal. Loving the Violet flavor right now, and I know I'm not alone because everywhere I go they keep selling out.

I just search 'chill' on Spotify. Mostly listen to the Cloudkid or Chillnation playlists. Not sure if that's a weird genre choice for lifting haha.

As of today I've been alive for 9,756 days.

Anything involving back muscles for me. Although not being able to lift your arms after a good shoulder workout feels great too.

Purple. My comment isn't relevant, just like anyone else who decides it's their place to say something with regards to your decisions about your body. What you think is what matters. As someone said above, it says more about them than yourself. I've dealt with this on both ends of the spectrum, gaining and losing weight.…

I just log it and move on. I love beer too much to give it up personally so I deal with the 'consequences'. If it's become a health issue for you then hopefully you know to cut back or just stop altogether.

Did you just stare at him until he walked away? Seems like a waste of words when someone is that stupid. My two cents on this is that it says a lot about the people who say these comments. While I smile and nod my head that's what goes thru my head. It's annoying sure, but just remind yourself of that and maybe you won't…

The only reason I signed up for MFP was precisely to keep myself accountable. I knew I over ate but by how much I didn't realize until I started logging. To this day I still have moments where I'm over my calorie goal but whatever, I ain't Jesus. Some tips my man: - be realistic in your goals. Some people over/under…
