Turnips.

Unwavering deference to an idea without questioning its underlying principles is very sinister indeed; oftentimes such fealty turns into belief. A mind that is structured on blind belief is inherently resistant to change, and will quickly stagnate. That being said, this thread is absolute nonsense.... name calling based on…

You cannot spot reduce. However, weighted lunges, and as Sara mentioned sumo squats couldn't hurt.

Mine has certainly gotten smaller.... but over the long term I would like to build up a substantial amount of muscle there.

I have well defined ones from carrying incredibly heavy book bags.

As an insomniac, BUMP for later.

Exercise can do wonders for anxiety and depression. Suggest that she joins you. If not, then you should continue doing what makes you happy.

Hi! I am 5'2", CW: 136.5 lbs (BF 26.9%), GW: 120 lbs (BF 18%).

MFP is a wonderful tool for those on the road to recovery from an ED. Though calorie counting tools are triggering, surrounding oneself with friends who have healthy views of adequate caloric intake and exercise is wonderfully therapeutic. ETA: I would like to add that ED's are about control. For those who are suffering…

I would take a look at the online nutritional menus of some of the local restaurants before you go out for a meal. I always have a few go-to meals if I do not have access to this information. For example: Starbuck's egg-white, spinach, and feta wrap (290 cal) Subway 6" Whole wheat/ 9-Grain chicken breast/chicken strip, no…

LMAO. This is once instance where writing a little note would work.

I, like you, am "capable of exercising, having careers, having goals, etc". I am also capable of resisting the advances of men, in whatever setting, if I am not interested. I should add that on one occasion a guy tried to help me lift 45 lb weights onto my olympic bar when I was doing dead-lifts. Seriously. Guys, DO NOT do…

Agreed.

Going up and saying hello and/ or initiating amusing small talk is a great start. I find it annoying if someone simply stares when I am lifting; it is distracting and my form suffers.

LMAO

The symptoms you indicated are not normal during physical exercise, regardless of your fitness level. The fact that they are persistent is suspicious. Please visit your GP for blood work.

Good for you! I am glad someone has had the courage to take the counterposition.

Mine have most definitely improved since I have incorporated heavy lifting. However, I am worried that they will go down another cup size (I was a 32FF, now I am a 32E). I have already decided that once I reach my goal weight, I will have some of the fat removed (most likely) from my inner thighs and placed in my breasts.…

Ontario! Add me!

LOL

She said "unrealistic expectations" not "downfall" of todays society.
