@madninjaskills A hulking dude with big biceps that can pick you up :)

I'm straight, but I love my LGBTQ friends & would love more! <3 Anyone else can add me too :)

Like I said in your other post... I think he's testing you. He doesn't want space. He REALLY wants you to hide in his bushes and watch him from the window. That will make him feel like you're there for him even when he doesn't realize it. When he said 'please stop' that was really a plea for you to call him repeatedly &…

First, change your thinking. If you think you HAVE to do something, you're body is going to do it. If you think "I want to have a healthier relationship with food" then you will. In terms of eating better: I've learned that eating high, healthy fats make you feel full. Avocado, walnuts, almonds and peanut butter are great…

I've never had vericose veins, but I've read that Vitamin K can help with those who have them. I'd just check with your doctor before taking a supplement. And there's lots of vitamin K in your dark, leafy greens like spinach and kale in case you wanted to take a natural approach.

I love carbs, but they hate me. If I eat too much, I get headaches that make me feel like my eyes are about to pop out & I bloat to kingdom come. I cut most carbs out of my life because they just didn't set well in my system. I don't think someone HAS to cut them out, but you really don't need them either. That is, if you…

So you told her that you were trying to get healthy; she organized a party with healthy foods & now you're mad because the foods brought weren't the kinds that you wanted? That co-worker is a good friend. She was trying to support you by getting everyone to rally around & support your goals in a fun way. When I told some…

Men say they like no makeup until they see us with no makeup (no foundation, eyeliner, lipgloss...nothing). Then they're like "What happened to your face?"

1. I love roller coasters & those build-a-rides at fairs (I love the thrill of not knowing if that thing is going to collapse). 2. I'm a senior getting her psych degree. Next year going to grad school for psych with a specialization in sex & relationships! 3. I sleep with the TV on! 4. I love comedy! ( I love Workaholics&…

In psych it's called generativity, or having the need to pass on knowledge & to younger generations/ people that don't know as much. Supposedly, we're innately supposed to want to pass on information to help those that don't know what we do. I do understand how it can become exhausting, but perhaps that's only because one…

I just bought the Polar FT7 & love it. I'm not a super athlete & it's easy enough for me to train at my level without overwhelming me with stuff that I don't need. The great thing is that Polar has different versions of HRM's that help people that want to see or know different things. The only reason that I didn't get the…

Meh. When I was dancing, I had a big butt and I was SKINNY. As did my sister &cousin. Not saying it wasn't made up of fat. Probably my fat deposited in my butt and skipped my stomach. But I do think I have more muscle down there than others, but that's probably because I developed it through working out (volleyball--which…

Yes! The thong thing in the back takes all sexiness away from a super ripped stripper. While watching Magic Mike I was thinking "this would be so much better if the dude wasn't wearing a thong". Idk something about the banana hammock just doesn't appeal to me. Especially on dudes that are growers instead of showers. Bleh!…

Unrelated question: is there a point to cardio as more than a warm-up? Or is it important to integrate into a weight loss regimine. I know some of you do like 'leg day' 'back day' blah blah blah. Is there a cardio day or no? Or is the burn that people use cardio forwhat the deficit does when doing high resistance/low rep?…

Lol, I'm sorry, but you must not have seen some real black girl butts. You'd think they were fake lmfao. Like I don't have a HUGE *kitten*, but it was big when I was skinny & big when I was bigger lmfao. It wasn't budging, and I don't think there was huge amounts of fat. I think the muscle around my *kitten* was just…

OK now I get it. High weight/ low rep + calorie deficit= smaller butt (or at least a butt that's not getting larger). Mehh. I can take that ;) And, OP, just like another poster said. It doesn't matter what kind of exercise you do, just progressively put tension on your muscles. I guess that's what I do with barre. The…

Just got this from livestrong: http://www.livestrong.com/article/101686-exercises-smaller-butt/ It says that heavy weight/low reps increase muscle size. Got this from another site: http://healthyliving.azcentral.com/exercise-small-butt-10420.html Says to decrease resistance & increase repititions and also mentions more…

Perhaps it made her bigger because there was still fat on top of her muscles? Or does lifting burn enough calories to also burn fat? Idk I'm genuinely asking because I'm eventually going to lift so I can do gymnastics to be a better dancer..

I also read on some bodybuilding site that you can: 1. Put a treadmill on a higher incline with a lower speed to build strong legs and butt. 2. Put the stationary bike on a higher resistance and go slower Truth?

The OP doesn't want to do it that way. She doesn't want to or enjoy it. I HATE Jillian Michaels even though so many people love her routines. They claim it's best for beginners, but it just bores me so I don't do it. Perhaps this is a similar situation the OP is in? Either way, it doesn't matter. If she doesn't want to…

Then give her advice on how to cut the fat around her hips and butt while retaining the muscle that doesn't include lifting weights.

I won't argue semantics. What is bullying to one may not be bullying to another. That's totally okay. However, when someone tells another person to go away because they don't like what that person is saying (especially on a public forum for a question that he didn't even post), I call that bullying. If you don't, that's…

I'm not good in bully situations :(

What was wrong with the post? You have to be a low weight to see the results of strength training? That's true. You can have a gorge body but if there's fat on top of it, you won't be able to see it. Ballet students are more popular when their thinner? True! When I hit puberty, I constantly was chastized for my boobs and…

Eh partially true. Being heavy in ballet isn't helpful. Have you ever stood on your tip toes? many people can't do it for longer than a few seconds. We're forced to do it for long period of time. It's easier to be lighter than heavier to put less pressure on the toes and to leap higher. Idk if your friend wasn't healing…

I don't see the reason for all the hostility. If you don't like it, don't do it. Why bully people to agree with you? respectfully state your opinion and then allow others to respectfully state theirs. It's okay to disagree, and you can't moderate to what degree others are allowed to disagree.

People are still arguing about this? OP, eat at a calorie deficit and do cardio to lose fat. Strength train to build muscle that will honor the shape that you already have. You can strength train in many ways. Lifting is popular. If you like it, do it. I have a dancer's background. I like dancing. Barre workouts (which I…

These are so intruiging. I could look at them all day. Literally. You are all so talented! Really inspiring. I don't have time to compliment everyone individually, but goodness you all are amazing!

Yes, but there are exercises that will make your LEGS appear longer because you're legs are shaped, thinner and toned. One of the routines that can do that is barre workouts.
