  • Don't see why it would be too risky, provided your steps are not too close together. As long as you feel you have enough space to step fully (with some space leftover) on the step, you should be fine :) Try without weights first and see how you feel!
  • I really really really try very hard not to laugh at other people in my kickboxing class, but sometimes they look so silly! And then the instructor can't help but smile and then I'm dying to hold back my grin as well >.< Also, what is with women who decide to work out with their hair down (or done up nicely with pretty…
  • Bump for reading later! :D
  • Or if s/he's in the UK, then Boots the pharmacy/drugstore ;)

  • I love this whole thread! The latest word that annoys me is "stabability" (stability). The first time I heard it used in a meeting, I was shouting "STABILITY!!" in my head and I had to bite my tongue to stop myself from actually correcting them in front of everyone >.< Also, everything that you all have mentioned before -…
  • Uhm, idk. Like almost everyone has already pointed out, there are too many factors that come into play when deciding whether or not a size 10 is fat ;) I'm more concerned about finding a suitable equation that allows me to calculate how much I should spend on a pair of pants based on how much I think I will be able to lose…
  • I've got a rose on my right hip. It's my first and only (so far) tattoo. When I was thinking of getting one, I actually went to a few shops with a good friend to check out the books and the artist :) In the end it came down to either a place with good reviews and a rather friendly artist or a place with hardly any reviews…

  • 10 reps PER LEG for each set if I'm not wrong :D I focused more on increasing the weight as I also wanted to work on my grip strength :)

  • Well, as a Singaporean, I can tell you there's basically only 2 sizes you can be here - skinny & fat. There seems to be no middle ground, which is unfortunate :) And yes - talking about someone's weight is perfectly acceptable, at work or socially. It's totally ok to ask what size or weight someone is.
  • Ooh good idea! I'm facing the same issue myself :) I love these clothes and they're still funky and in good condition. It would be a waste to just get rid of them :D
  • Well, I certainly can see a difference! Not just your arms, but definitely your waist looks clearly smaller, and the whole tummy area is just smaller. Love your 2nd bikini too! Super cute :D
  • Uhm, it's only been a week. Why don't you wait a little? Also, less than 1200 is very little. Unless you're really really tiny. Are you?
  • Generally not anyone younger, but my upward "limit" is basically non-existent. I would probably happily date someone + 20 or + 25 years older than me :) I'm 26 this year. My current partner is 11 years older than me.
  • I'm 5'4" :) SW: 182 lbs CW: 145 lbs I'm hoping to get to somewhere around 130 - 135 lbs, but it basically depends on whether I like what I see in the mirror. I'm trying to get rid of this annoying poochy tummy XD and everything still wobbles a bit too much for my liking. (I started lifting last month and hoping that will…
  • My legs cross comfortably over each other now *_* And they slide over and fit right next to the other one neatly XD
  • From Singapore here, and we also don't have our height or weight on our DL ;)
  • Hey, don't I know you from somewhere? XDDDDD Awesome work girl ;)
  • I know someone with CFS and I get mad when people call it "getting tired easily" (I know you're not). She's on here so she'll pop by and explain if she wants. I can't say I know all about it and if there's a continuum or not. There probably is though - like all chronic illnesses :)
  • This! Awesome loss ^___^ and it's so great to read this in the morning (for me) :D
  • Tall, older (than me) women who tend to be somewhat androgynous in their dressing ^^ Lol. Smart and funny and interesting. Beautiful eyes - I look at the eyes a lot :D Edit: Lol, I think what I did was just basically describe my gf.
  • Done! I did them in 4 sets - 10 / 20 / 20 / 20! :D
  • Agreed. I have the double rich choc. Mix it with milk and it tastes really good ^_^ I use 2% fat milk with my and the whole thing comes up to 220 cals, with about 30g protein (powder + milk)!
  • Oh no! Make it 3 guinea pigs XD
  • Cinder block + guinea pig! :D
  • When it feels like something hurts waaaaaayyy more than just normal DOMS, I do take a few days off exercising. And I do mean NO exercise at all. It helps to rest and let everything heal itself :) I find I'd rather take 2 - 3 days off exercising and then get right back at 100% than hobble along at 50% for a week! ^__^ You…
  • Optimum Nutrition's double rich chocolate mixed with milk is awesome tasting! ^^ I'm not from Australia (am from Singapore), but I'd guess one could get ON anywhere? ^^;
  • Ooh, the only thing I love more than lists is excel sheets! 1. Hate stepping on wet floors with bare feet (like at the swimming pool ... ugh!!) 2. On my way to speaking 4 languages (English, Mandarin, Japanese and soon German, I hope!) 3. Love ice cream (especially Strawberry Cheesecake flavoured ones) 4. Addicted to…
  • I have a pair of gloves from Reebok that are apparently supposed to be meant for men. It fits though, so I don't care - especially since the ladies' gloves were so thin -.- I love them and I think they really help for me, because some of the heavier dumbbells at my gym are a teen bit rusty (probably due to lack of use at…
  • I'm a lot shorter than you though! Only 5'4"! And yeah - my weight loss slowed down majorly after 25 lbs, so I switched to lifting (which I'd always intended on doing anyway). I weigh myself once every 2 weeks now, and measure once a month. It's pretty exciting to see the changes in the mirror! Oh, and my workout outfit in…
