I think it's been said several times on this thread and throughout MFP that outwardly shaming someone's body will only create further isolation and mental unwellness, hindering change. It's better to understand why that person is obese, rather than just being a jerk from afar. A little over a year ago I was diagnosed with…

I did 90 minutes of Brazillian Jiu Jitsu (with Gi) in my BJJ class. I'm still a white belt, but they've bumped me up to the intermediate/advanced class. So I'm rolling with guys much bigger than me and more advanced, and I'm finding it very hard. Physically it's such an exhausting sport, but there's something about BJJ…

I've had a few guys try to give me advice in Muay Thai classes. I've been hitting pads for over three years, and I go to different sparring and drilling classes 4 times a week, and have had private lessons. I don't mind it if he's better than me (the regular fighters are recognizable), or has advice that's accurate;…

I noticed the same thing last year, when I went through a similar experience when attending the gym. I started training more often, did harder classes, and had better overall conditioning, but my gosh did I ever sweat. Like, dripping on the floor sweat. It is gross, but I think it is just your body getting better at…

Hello everyone, I took a bit of a break, but am back at logging again. I log daily, and have an open diary, so please feel free to add me as a friend! Always love more supporters and motivators :smile:

That makes sense. Then the time you do drills, practice rolling or shrimping, or whatever, you put that in as calisthetics? I guess I can do something similar for muay thai, for the time I spend holding pads. How long have you done bjj? What belt do you have?

Also, on a different note, I am looking for friends to help motivate me in this app! I love martial arts, but I love chocolate and ice cream equally as much. I always welcome more support <3

Xenodochial ...?

The Samurai Pizza Cats ... (They're so bad, they got more fur than any turtle ever had).

I want to start sparring. I also want to lose 20lbs, with the hopes that less body fat will make plyometrics a little easier ...

Hello everyone! This is my second time losing weight; the first time being in 2016, and I lost close to 30lbs before breaking. I managed to keep it off, but now I am trying to lose another 20ish pounds. I am finding my weight falls off much slower than before ☹. I am staying motivated, because no matter the speed, my…

A - I was thinking about this, and really, dinners like Christmas dinner only happen so often. I am not going to stress myself out over it, but I also won't go way overboard either. Realistically, everything is higher calorie at Christmas, haha ... even wine is high calorie. I also don't want to stress others out by…
