Besides being in crossfit, this is my situation pretty much exactly. My lat pulldowns are at 130lbs now and my back and shoulders are very strong. Pullups have been the bane of my fitness. I've gotten closer to pulling myself up, but haven't even managed to do one yet. People who tell me they can do pullups, unless they…

You can't tease us like that with no details, lol. :wink: I say count yourself lucky!

Woman C and D are both attractive to me. Being completely honest? ..I would love to look like woman C with more muscular arms and legs if I could. The reality of the situation is that I've lost almost 100 lbs and a person who has lost a lot of weight doesn't acheive a "tight" looking body like that without a certain level…

lol, I have a tiny scar next to my eye from that fall. *bad *kitten* face* That being said, it's made me a bit more careful, lol.

I haven't had anything major happen yet *knocks on wood* (besides eating asphalt last winter while running, but no one was around to see, lol) ...BUT I feel it coming with my front squat/push presses. Those effers are the hardest lift exercise I've ever done and everytime I do them, I wobble a lot (thank god for clips).…

Alcide from True Blood. He can get beastly with me anytime he wants.

frick and heck are local words that are overused, but I usually correct people (in the right company) to say swear words. edit: I'm from Utah.

Take the thread for the fun it is and don't overthink it.

beautiful or gorgeous. cute makes me feel like I'm 12 and sexy seems generically used by lots of men.

This. However, if you feel better not having so many 'one days' a year, if it's a mental accountability thing, then select a number of days a year you do feel comfortable with and stick to it. I'm not eating Thanksgiving dinner, but that's only because my husband and I are not visiting family this year and he's working…

Yep, I've had this same frustration with potassium and trying to track, lol. It's funny, last night after a heavy lifting session, I was feeling especially wiped out. 20 min after having my protein shake, I was shaking and felt lightheaded from my workout still. I ate a banana and within 10 min I felt completely normal…

This is me. If I don't eat well, I feel like I'm not effective in my workouts. I don't have the right fuel and the energy needed to have a good workout, it's more like 'going through the motions'.

It is SO hard to commit to! lol Who wants to dedicate money to something you don't have to? I guess at some point you just realize you need to do it, lol.

I've hit my macros levels for a full week as of today. I've had no coffee or diet soda, only water as of this morning, 40 oz at 10:30. I'm actually on track the last 4 days for my getting rid of debt plan.

I'm a redhead and am incredible in bed. :wink: I grew up a Texan and can and will whoop your *kitten*. I'm becoming a fitness buff and have problems with the concept of humility.

You should take a picture of him blushing and upload it to his facebook so we can see. :laugh:

I prefer the facial hair, personally.

Totally attractive. I would give him somewhere between a 7.5 and an 8. :smile: *edit: and that's being really, really picky. Based on his eyes alone he's a clear 9.5.

It's subtle, but obvious enough, lol. ;) I can pm you who it is.. lol.

lmao! I know who you're talking about and I think the same thing about him. lol *edit to add: This is not the same guy as my aforementioned new crush, but someone I used to like.

Except for a few who know who they are, I have a new crush that no one knows about, including this person themselves. Being married, I'll keep it that way. ;)

lmao, you did it! What I find attractive in the same sex is laughingdani and marcia36. *edit: same, same, lol

The before is 3 years ago, 2008.. and then just this past weekend. That's minus 97 lbs (about). I've been lifting and have put on weight, so it's hard to say what's a gain in muscle or gain in fat. I just know I look and feel better than I ever have in my life.

bump - I can't manage to keep up with all you badasses and the ever growing thread, but I love hearing what all you have to say. It makes me excited to be doing this program! I'm nearing Phase 2 shortly! :)

I feel like this, lol. I'm becoming one of those 'typical Utah outdoorsy people', so when the weather is even decent, I love hiking in the mountains or camping. I was supposed to start rock climbing this last spring, but the snow stayed too long and I was involved in other things once summer came. I'm hoping to start that…

^This! This dude was heavy lifting in his socks the other day at the gym. WTF?????? o_O Like a bad car accident, I won't be able to look away when something happens to him.

I don't play 'damsel in distress', but I do try to be careful and tell white lies to protect male ego, lol... I needed these dumbbells a guy was using in the gym the other day and I didn't think twice about asking if he was done with them and if I could use them... afterall, different exercises require different weights…

The beauty of modern day is that I think women can choose to do what they wish to do and it seems to me that many different lifestyles are being accepted now. A woman can choose to stay home with kids or work and it seems to be okay (by the general masses). I think what's important is that a woman never gets so comfortable…

This is the way I learned to do them and to me, it's the simplest way to learn... Put yourself into pushup position, with the stability ball underneath your shins. To do the jackknife, keep your arms stationary and bring your knees up toward your chest, return to starting position. Don't think about every other movement…

I have! Trust in the program with the calories! It was weird to me at first to bump up to such a tremendous number, but I've continued being beastly hungry, even with so many more calories, lol. For me, this has been a monster metabolism boost. I can't say I've lost steady weight, I'm not really paying much attention to…
