YES! I routinely run between 9 and 10pm...but, that's when I have the time to do it.

That is awesome! I have never tried boxing but imagine I would enjoy it. Thank you for sharing!

The only girl I look at while I'm at the gym (other than myself) is the collegiate hammer throw girl who works her *kitten* off and has beautiful muscles. I am in awe of her. And then when I get home I take the cell phone pics I secretly captured of her and laugh maniacally as I photoshop my head onto her body. ...too soon?

I was in your shoes for most of my adult life. I loathed everything about myself and didn't think I was worth anyone's time. So, the only men I really attracted were the ones who treated me like *kitten*. And I genuinely believed that they were the best I'd ever be able to get. Therapy helped a lot. It's taken a while, but…

Stop doing compromising things near people with cameras. Seriously though, until a person changes their perception of themselves, they will always hate the way they look in pictures - regardless of weight.

I don't know... I just had 1200 calories for lunch and I'm pretty full right now...

I agree with this. I don't wear gloves and in the beginning, I was getting really bad, painful callouses. So I started working on my grip. Now my callouses are almost unnoticeable and my hands never hurt while lifting.

I never know what's going on.

One time, a black man who passed me on the street told me "nice hips." He was probably just assessing my ability to bear children and perpetuate the species, in which case my wide hips would be of preference.

Sadly, you cannot spot reduce. However, you can work to lower your overall BF% with strength training. Compound lifts like squats and deadlifts have tremendously helped my whole lower body.

Definitely start now - you'll thank yourself later. People have already posted some great programs for you (New Rules of Lifting, SL 5x5) and there are some good videos online to help with form. Don't be intimidated by the free weight section! I guarantee nobody is going to care... if anything, they'll just think it's cool…

If you're having trouble every day, I would suggest making sure that you have a realistic and sustainable calorie goal (this helps: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/937712-in-place-of-a-road-map-ver-3-0). Also, you can aim to balance out your calorie goal weekly vs. daily. Going over one day and under the next…

I LOVE Sister Christian! "You're motoriiiiiinnnnnnngggg...." Good karaoke times right there. Oh wait, is this for something different?

Most days I can't even be bothered to get to work before 10:30am. I don't understand this "morning" you speak of...

We have a cat, but I like our dog WAY more. And the cat knows it.

I'd be a bridesmaid at any age... but all of my friends are super laid-back and informal with a good sense of style.

I got one of these, and it's amazing. http://www.flipbelt.com/

:heart:

Especially when someone farts.

I'm surprised too. A close friend has had a couple of Italian Mastiffs over the years and they are incredibly gentle.

I had someone who was on my FL delete me once. When I discovered this it hurt. Not so much here... or here... but riiiight here.

It's only happened once. I think he just stored it up to spite me.

My dog's crap record is 7 times in 5 miles. I choose routes with strategically placed dumpsters/garbage cans.
