:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: ...flufftard.... Okay, now that I got that out of my system. I agree with this ^^ and a couple other posts. I'd love it if a guy struck up conversation at the gym, especially if it came with any kind of compliment on my progress or how I have good form in my lifting. A guy at the gym approached my…

Honestly, being 5'10" already makes me feel like a giant amongst my shorter coworkers and friends so I do tend to be attracted to men just about as tall or taller than me. It's just a personal preference; I don't want to feel like the jolly green giant in the relationship.

In the state of TN appellate courts say engagement rings are conditional gifts that must be returned to the gift giver if the condition -- namely, the marriage -- does not take place, regardless of who broke off the engagement. With that being said, if you're not giving the money back to him spend just a little on you and…

I totally know where you're coming from, there are so many days when I look at the logging and the meal preparation and the workouts and can't help but feel that it's a little unfair that I'm putting in more effort than the results I'm getting. And then the scale drops 2-3 lbs and doesn't bounce back up. Plus that doesn't…

Just moved to St. Charles a few months ago and moved to Missouri only a year before that. :) Looking for local friends so feel free to add me! :)

I've had good luck with sublingual arnica tablets. It's a homeopathic remedy that's been helping the soreness (especially after 2 hour bootcamps). It doesn't make it go away, but it kind of helps to take the edge off. Otherwise like others have said, some cardio, a lot of water, protein, some ibuprofen, and on the third…

I suffer from knee problems and my sister has trouble with her ankles, so we know where you're coming from. I have between 60-100 lbs to lose, depending on how my BF% comes out (I'm shooting for an ultimate goal of 23-21%) and I was very nervous about starting workouts with my knees. I found that the elliptical was a great…

:) I think that old adage just rolls off the tongue better than "a pound of muscle is more dense and therefore takes up less space on the human body than a comparable pound of fat". At least its easier for me to say to myself when the scale hasn't moved but I've been working hard and my clothes fit better. I guess it's…

My aunt just turned me on to 1/4c lowfat ricotta cheese mixed with about 1Tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder, and a little bit of splenda. Warm it up so it mixes well and then let it chill; tastes kind of like a mouse or thick pudding but with protein. Seems to hit the spot when I want chocolate, especially since I'm not a…

I'm totally in the same boat. I do want to be healthier; I want to be able to jog up stairs and work and not be gasping when I'm done, and I want to finish my 30's with the kind of overall health that I should have had in my 20's. But that's not what gets me off the couch and to the gym. That's accomplished with a look in…

That is absolutely unacceptable. In a REALLY odd coincidence I'm actually currently listening to our company's HR videos (annual requirement and they're the same videos each year) and I was literally just listening to a scenario in the harassment video where an overweight coworker was offended by comments made in passing…
