I'm super sorry you guys are stressed! I wish you you all the best! Speaking of politics I'm actually leaving MFP in favour of the Lose It app as MFP is owned by under armour and it's CEO has endorsed the Trump administration.

Hi! Feel free to add me too. I have a history of eating disorders but I've been in a much better place in recent years.

I am watching this unfold in Canada with horror. It feel surreal.

I believe in science

Anyone can add me. I've been lifting for years and I'm a certified group fitness instructor and always happy to help!

I've done a number of programs on body building.com and was doing crossfire prior to that. I'm heading into my last week of a 12 week program designed by bombshell fitness but after my last week of the program I'll be taking a week off and then starting "thinner leaner stronger"

I've been lifting for years (and I'm a certified group fitness instructor) and anyone can add me here

I have 0 tattoos and a pretty intense relationship with Netflix. I love baby girrafes. Anyone in this thread can add me

Me too (and anyone else is free to add me). I'm a lesbian, not new to MFP but I log daily.

That is very kind of you to want to make a difference in someone's life who is feeling alienated. The boxes look really cool! I've never heard of these types of things before but I'm sure you will friend will love the gifts and the sentiment. It's so hard for me to understand how gender and/or sexuality could get in the…

Another trans ally here who would happy to be friends. I'm Tara :)

I'm sorry to hear that this is the news you have been given. I'm sure it is beyond disappointing. I hope that you can find ways to feel comfortable in your body.

Welcome!!

Anyone in this thread is welcome to add me. I have been logging daily for over a year. I identify as a lesbian.

I'll add you!

I'm sorry you don't have anyone to I'm sorry you don't have anyone to talk to. That must be isolating. I haven't experienced gender dysphoria but remember what it was like when I first realized I was gay and didn't have anyone to reach out to. Sending you hugs!

I bought the books and read them but got hurt shortly after and don't know want to implement it fully until I'm 100%. I did find it interesting and informative and I can see how it could be a good method of crossfitters.

I try to avoid dairy (gives me better skin) so I tend to stick with vega brand. I like changing the flavour by adding in things like pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon because I try to eat fruit on an empty stomach for best digestion.

Vodka and soda water, red wine and sparkling whites tend to be what I gravitate towards. I find lighter reds are less hangover producing for me so I tend to stick to Pinot noirs.

I've never been married to a man but when I was 19 I had a boyfriend and he was so kind and I just was not into the physical aspect and realized that even though I looked like a straight girl I was a massive homo.

If you are low on time, circuit training especially including plyometrics may be a good option for you as you will build muscle and burn fat at the same time so it tends to be a good option for busy people. Building muscle will increase your metabolism which may help with your appetite. Also consuming high protein foods…

That was a very thoughtful post and glad to see a discussion on such an important topic! I work in Insurance and the company that I work for is currently looking at how we can make things better for trans and gender fluid people in terms of how they are set up in our systems.

I wear an old pair of nano 2's and I have a new pair of Reebok lifters

Anyone can feel free to also add me :smile:

I do circuit training 3 times per week and HIIT 3 times per week and yoga when I can.

That's awesome! You are going to have the fittest arm pits in town!

Steamed vegetables with a lean protein can come up really low. Asparagus with a poached egg, grilled chicken mojo chicken breast with steamed brocoli, grilled garlic shrimp skewers or grilled calamari with mixed greens. I also make a sprout, tomatoes and avocado sandwhich with a bread made of white bean and millet (it's…

Lately I've been putting on "working for it" Zhu but in the past I always liked "perfect (exceed)" princess superstar, mason - it's super fun and the music video is kischty and workout related

An abs circuit can be helpful. Kayla itsines BBG has some good ab workouts. Each workout is 28 mins of work. There are 2 circuits that are 7 minutes each and you repeat each 7 minute circuit twice with a minute or so rest in between each 7 minute circuit. You can usually find her workouts for free online

I found that adding HIIT training in the am to my workout regime did wonders for getting rid of that last bit of fat. I was already working out daily with weights, plyometrics circuits and spin classes. But every couple months I take a week off and stick to yoga and sometimes that when I would see the scale really move…
