I am just starting the program (day 3) and, OP, I have felt pretty much everything you have stated so far (from being annoyed by how scammy the program feels just to join, to the exercises feeling to easy at times, to still feeling sore regardless). I am so happy to have come across your post!

Just saw the very end of this and burst out laughing. "First rule about CrossFit..." My husband just heard this the other day and was absolutely tickled about it. It is so freaking true! We started CrossFit a little over a year ago; both walking in very hesitantly, in a bad place physically, and not expecting much. We…

Fun! I am going to have to remember to come back and check here. 10/11 - 139 10/18 - 10/25 - Goal - 135

If you are currently losing weight, best thing to do is focus on the stretch marks you don't yet have. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize. I use straight coconut oil and it definitely seems to be doing it's thing. I am doing the opposite of you, right now, and am growing quite big. I am 30 weeks along but I have been on…

Crash said playdate with my kids and cats. :D

Heh, I just like exciting things I guess. Problem is, I am also a huge klutz. I am the epitome of what my husband fears. He works in the ER and as he always says "I am the one who has to put those people back together." :D

I am a skydiver, a whitewater rafter, a bridge and cliff jumper, a horseback racer, a rollercoaster junkie, a motorcycle enthusiast, and... an avid book reader... with a desk job.

Oooh! Share, Jason!

I have thirteen piercings and one tat. I really want more... of both. You see my absolutely colorless skin! It is the perfect canvas! :smiley:

Business woman with a feisty side.

I just lost my big toenail. Combination of running with swollen preggo feet I am guessing. I've only ever lost a toenail once in my life and that was when I was training for a marathon. Sigh...

Thanks Puck! :) Four kids, that must be exhausting and thrilling. We are expecting number 3 but I think that is going to be the end of the road for us.

This just makes me love you. :) I see so many people yearning for the single life and it simply breaks my heart. Yes, people change. They say that every decade you are a completely different person than you were before. This doesn't mean that you are no longer meant to be with the person you promised your life to, it…

I'm terrified of heights but love falling out of planes. I have jumped 55 times and have dreams quite regularly about returning to the drop zone.

SOOO sorry for the delay, I just now saw this. I had originally used the generic "Pregnancy - third trimester" but while it accounted for calories, it didn't account for anything else so my numbers were way out of whack every day; well under in calories but over in everything else. I did some research and created a new…

HAHA! Which episodes, do you know? I'd love to see that.

Sounds like a couple of you are being hard on yourself. I am about 6 and a half months along and I am already up 22 lbs. I gained 40 with my first but lost it pretty immediately following the delivery (thank you breastfeeding!) so I am really not going to let it bother me this go around (because it really did last time, I…

Hello everyone, just about to hit 28 weeks myself. I told myself I wouldn't be calorie conscious this pregnancy so I stopped tracking when we started trying to get pregnant. I didn't realize there was a way to account for pregnancy until just recently researched it. I found out that I can earn more points through our…

Ha! Sounds like the epitome of health and physique himself right there. Guys like skinny girls?? Funny that he thinks he can talk for the whole male population right there. I know plenty of guys who balk when their ladies are too bony, thank you. Hmm... obviously someone liked your coworker enough to drop at the very LEAST…

It is Casual Friday at work. I am currently shirtless, leg propped up on desk, munching on trail mix while typing on MFP. Ok, three out of four of those are true.

I hate to say it, but it was the darn Yoga that did me in... Last Friday I got through almost the entire routine without incident, then out of the blue, during the cobbler stretch at the end (nothing intense, just stretching!) my knee made this outrageous sound that caught me completely off guard. It didn't hurt so I…

I am using coke to kick the carbs myself. ;)

Sounds delicious, but what is sriracha?

I have obnoxiously long legs and a very short torso. I consider myself to be pretty fit and I ALWAYS give it my all, especially if there is something I can't do because I hate feeling limited... BUT, no matter how hard I try, I can't swing my leg all the way through to runner's pose; it always hits the ground first and I…

Thank you, batgirlmama, for commenting on this so recently. Otherwise, I would have never seen it. Iced coffees in the summer are the best!

Thanks for the idea, Superchik! I absolutely abhor mayo of any kind, but I never considered using greek yogurt! Or salsa and avocado for that matter. I will eagerly try both. I get the strangest looks and most disgusted glares when I put ketchup in my tuna, but to tell you the truth, it isn't bad. It tames the taste of the…

It DOES get better. Just think, only what? One more? Then rest week then on to phase two!

Whenever I can fit it in (before midnight because then psychologically I would think I failed for not getting it in on time, last night was cutting it close!) between jobs.

Yikes! The two websites above completely contradict each other! It's so hard to know what is true and what to avoid believing...
