Yeb, that's what I mean with hoping they are not pigs and I am not sure the looks have anything to do with my gender for them. It's normal for people to look at the "new" person in a place where you are used to know the face of everyone who comes and goes. Sometimes social circles will be nice and welcome the newcommer…

Audio books (currently the Dresden books) Metal music and telling myself "only a few more songs" if I dont have my iPod - then planning the next day/week/month/decade and try to convince myself that I'm almost halfway already and only a few more minutes... :sad:

Looks like I *might* make it, with 34 miles to go at least before the end of the month.

Same with the gym I'm going to. There's a space that has coloured weights and other "girly" stuff, and then there's the "proper" weight lifting area. The "girly" area has some lifting stuff, but it does not have proper barbells to lift, only dumbells. I am not the only woman to go to the "guy" side though, but they are…

too much muscle is a turn off for me so... no. aside from the addict side of things.

:flowerforyou: Well done

In the order of what I like best, to least: Fried - chopped in pieces. I usually don't use oil or butter, but a bit of olive oil does make it better. Baked - chopped like french fries Baked - whole without anything extra Boiled - usually mashed When I have them they are either as a side dish of their own or (usually) I mix…

Not a mom, have closer to 50 lbs to loose, and not using specific recipies... but am exercising daily. If that's enough, throw me an add :tongue:

Feel free to add me :)

welcome There's no need to starve to loose the pounds ;) I'm not a mother, but I am far away from my family so know that feeling at least. Feel free to add me if you like, I could use more friends :flowerforyou:

welcome, cute username :flowerforyou: The site is a helpfull tool, but for me at least it was confusing how to read from the calorie plan it gave. Get familiar with the BMR and TDEE calculators to get a better idea (unless you completely understand it all then that is fine). Remember to keep at it. This is going to take a…

welcome newbie, feel free to add me :)

Yay thanks for the responses, friend requests sent. :drinker:

would be interested in that

well done :)

I am told there are all ranges, there are groups with casual and then very "into" it with realistic costumes and 100% IC. The gathering is sort of the "party event" of the year, so that is more relaxed. It is also a rather big event. Two good reasons for me to choose that as a 1/year thing hehe. Fight with latex weapons,…

Went to the Gathering last year in the UK and loved it. Going back again this year. Otherwise I stick to tabletop RP, since most of my friends prefer that. Do treasure my mace though :P

Thanks for the replies, are allot of help. will be sure to search youtube for Rippetoe :) I am sure people are generally nice.. but I am also generally shy. I¨ll try to work up the courage to ask for help in person :blushing:

I have a personal rule of not logging walks and house chores shorter than 30 minutes, figure that should be part of my every day thing. That's not to say I have any right to say others shouldn't log it, and as others have pointed out it *does* count for calories *and* health benefits. I'm just too lazy to keep track of…

this. also.. sometimes people are replacing shy with nice. if you would just try and speak up you might actually get somewhere. Every time I hear "I'm too nice, noone will fall for me" I feel like one of the guys in that crowd:

hehe yes, you got me. Most of my friends are guys :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Well done :D Keep going and the pain will slowly dissapear as you get stronger.

I have friends that poke each other (and mine) belly and call each other fat :P but then again we mock each other allot over almost anything. somehow hearing it from friends makes it ok, while a stranger would get punched or growled at hehe. it also means that when they congratulate or give a compliment it means more.

Thank you. Took your advice and looked at the groups, and will try stronglift 5x5 (seems simple enough :) )

"I hate never being able to find clothes that fit and I hate the feeling of fear when friends suggest we do something active." I know the feeling, but it's going away! Slowly but surely. You can do this, just keep what the others said about babysteps and realistic goals in mind. Focus on getting healthier rather than…

LvL 21 (almost 22) Cleric ...cleric?! Bah, I gots to lift more weights. I'd rather be a battle cleric :devil: edit: btw love this :D

:flowerforyou: You have done great! And I love you attitude. Have fun finding new summer clothes

in this genre it's called "pulling a Wheel of Time" /"Robert Jordan" :devil: He has been poked about that and he says he will do his best not to have it without an ending. It's kinda sad that both him and Pratchett are getting to their end.. I'll have to find some other author to satisfy my evil fantasy thirst (aside from…
