  • Most people I know don't have a problem with someone only coming to one or the other-in fact, it's pretty common among my friends and family. If you're very close or it's a more religious ceremony, then going to the ceremony as well is probably more important, but for both my first wedding and the one I'm planning now, it…
  • 5'4", 30 years old, more or less "recovered" from eating disorders in that I stayed weight restored for a long enough time but still struggle with the habits...I also gained a crapload more weight than I wanted to in recovery, plus stacked on a bunch from other medical issues. I don't have a goal weight, but I'd really…
  • I sometimes wonder if stroking my computer screen with a melodramatic expression of longing could burn enough calories to allow me some pizza.
  • (Edited five million times because I can't seem to figure out how to img.
  • You. You are my new hero. This guy actually strikes me as a Tumblr Daddy Dom.
  • ^This. My partner and I go to the gym at the same time, and if we're both doing cardio we pick machines next to each other, but the one time we tried to actually work out *together* we both ended up cranky and unsatisfied.
  • Thanks, folks!
  • Didn't even think about bar position. Yeah, it is kind of low. Not quite on my shoulder blades, but probably close.
  • Yeah, I feel like my joints aren't happy stopping at and coming out of parallel-my knees cave inward and I have to lean too far forward.

  • I'm a burlesque and sideshow performer, and it's my stage name. I use it all over the internet so I have a cohesive online presence.
  • Man, I wish there were a boffer LARP around here...someone was trying to get one started last summer, but it never got off the ground. I play stuff like V:tM and Changeling and so forth. As the poster above me said, a heart rate monitor is your best bet. Then just create your own exercise to log it as.
  • So happy for everyone here! My 1st NSV was today at the gym. I set new PRs on 3 lifts, and while I was doing bent-over rows I could see a tiny bit of muscle definition in the mirror at the top of the lift. That's a first for me!
  • I love raspberry mocha frapps. And green tea ones. ETA: I also love that .gif.
  • I keep quitting MFP too, for the same reason. I'd love to see this group active!
  • I'm on pretty much every day, feel free to add me too. The self-hate is my biggest struggle, and having supportive people around makes a huge difference.
