Hey Crohnsfighter, me too - I'm also a fighter! *gastro-highfive*

Uhm that's just offensive. Ofcourse it's hot. How else would she wash dishes and make sandwiches. God. Grow up.

Powerlifting competition. Aiming for one in November of NEXT year. I need plenty of time to get used to the idea of wearing a singlet (which is required for this comp) :grumble:

240? Psh. I was over 260 riding just a regular Schwinn from Walmart, no problems. Did a 30 mile bike ride at 255 on it. I still have it - it's in fine working condition, no issues. Unless you get a seriously flimsy bike, you should be good to go with any bike. Now, for the very heavy, like 400/500+, zize bikes are AWESOME.…

Was going to make this happen, but realized I don't have a hair tie with me. Then realized I've got massage therapy class tonight and NEED to put my hair up somehow. Now I'm sad. Probably use a stinkin' rubber band and have to struggle to get it out at the end of the night. /TMI

Wow, you're KILLING IT! That's definitely something to be proud of. Awesome progress.

Had to google pansexual and DDlg ...I felt so sheltered.

My dog loved stuffed animals. His favorite was a blue squeaky owl that his grandma got him for Christmas. It's sitting on the mantle right now, on top of his urn.

I ate candy bars for lunch and have no calories left over for dinner. :( ...but I didn't go over my calories for the day, so...yay.

ditto

I do not, but I find inspiration from someone who does. Whenever I feel like I just can't possibly make another workout, I watch a Zach Anner video. He's so inspirational and motivational...definitely at the top of my hero list. If you haven't seen him, check him out -…

Perfection takes time. :wink:

I agree!! Wait...that was my post from 4 months ago... well, at least I'm consistent. However, I've never been with a *ripped* guy...don't knock it 'til you've tried it, right?

I don't have a food addiction, or any other type of addiction, but statements like that still curl my hair. It's crappy. If someone said they were an alcoholic and you replied "I don't believe in that, so I can't give you support - calling it an addiction gives you a crutch, drink less"...that's just as crappy, but it's…

Upkeep. I do massage therapy, so gotta keep my hands in tip-top and can't have calluses ripping off - open skin on the hands and giving massage is a big no-no for health and safety. Lotion every time you wash your hands and pumice stone in the shower and you'll be right as rain. I also paraffin as often as possible -…

Was thinking muscle cramps and was going to suggest potassium or approximation (hard squeezing on either side of the muscle), but I now realize I had it wrong. I don't suffer from these types of cramps...I mean, I get them, but I have a high pain tolerance and mine probably aren't as bad as some other women, so....I'll…

...is this how the wife thing works? I need one too!

I get it from the Vitamin Shoppe...and I insist on pronouncing it "Shaa-pay" cuz it's fancy. Other than online, it appears to be the only place in my area that carries the MASSIVE container of double chocolate. Mmmmm....protein.

:( I've totally used the terms "Going HAM" and "Beast Mode!" non ironically...does that count? I've also chest bumped my coach after a good bench PR, BELIEVE in the power of my pre-workout drink (even though it's just caffeine, essentially) and have spent more money on protein powder than books this month. Can I be…

I would like to apply for the bro position. What are the qualifications? Do I have to be a guy? I'm a girl...but I lift stuff and flex in front of the mirror and treat superstitions like science sometimes. Thank you for considering my application.

Ok...wow. I had no idea "Chi-Chi's" was a slang for boobs until I google imaged it....at work. Whoops..... Sooooo, anyway...totally miss Chi-Chi's restaurant in the US - it was my FAVORITE!!

OMG, I remember these! When I was a youngster, my sweet, lazy, stupid (her mom sat on her when she was a pup and she was a little "special"), very passive golden retriever once went all Cujo on my grandma's dachshund over a Cheez Ball. It was epic!

That was a little hurtful and unnecessary. His story involves he and his wife gaining weight together (among other things that mirror my husbands journey) and he sees an ex looking good on facebook and finds motivation there. I don't think it's "insane" to see things from another perspective - that of his wife....I believe…

...This. And, if it helps drive me, I don't see a problem with it. It's not like I'm going to start grilling my husband on his FB friend's list because of this post :laugh: Besides, how do you know I'm NOT his wife...? lol

This kind of makes me sad. I read the story of your weight gain and it kind of mirrors my husband's story. I don't think I'd be mad, but I'd be a little sad if my husband were using this connection to an ex-gf as motivation. Hell, if I'm honest, I'd be crushed. So, actually, thank you for posting this. This has added on to…

That's an awesome idea! I'm going to make my own this weekend and freeze them so I can grab and go throughout the week. Thanks for the idea.

OP asked if anyone has tried it, not for your criticism. People on this site are so rude. If you don't believe in potatology, then this thread obviously isn't for you.

Coffee. I don't drink coffee regularly, so I just do this as an occasional treat. Makes for a decent pre-workout too, for someone that doesn't intake caffeine otherwise.

Errrr gawd that was tough to read - totally cringeworthy. Obviously both the question and response were written by the same person - I'm assuming an ESL speaker. I'd also assume it was created to passive aggressively put someone in their place. A touch sad. The underlying point is actually decent though.
