I have a lot of them- hips, love handles, thighs... but I'm fine with them. And I NEVER thought I would say that! The flub is coming off slowly but surely (settle around my hips and thighs and a bit on lower belly.. but I'm okay with that too. It's a work in progress- in the mean time, I'm going to be happy with my body.

I second the strength training. My skin was awful... but it has tightened up dramatically... I have some work to do, but when I get to "goal" body fat, I'm going to up my intake and train to gain more muscle. And yeah- stretch marks (I have a ton of them) are kinda like glitter. Just a little something extra. ;-) haha

haha- I'm 5'10.5" and I have some pretty muscular legs. I wear a 6 or 8 if that gives any perspective. :-) And yeah- I don't care so much about the scale any more either- lifting weights has made me smaller while weighing more. I'm focused on reducing body fat and preserving muscle and will eventually increase intake so I…

I'm 5'10.5"... currently at about 160lbs...

Thank you :flowerforyou:

Stick with it- I cannot say enough about strength/resistance training. Lifting has done things that I NEVER thought would happen. I'm not even close to "finished" and I fully expect abs and saluting glutes by the end of summer! haha :-) If you need any help- I'm around fairly often!

I <3 you, CP!! You are amazing every day and I'm lucky to call you friend (even if it is on MFP)!

Man-beast I know! haha

Give yourself some time (that was the hardest part for ) but stick with it.. :-) You've got this!
-
haha... sooooo manly! :-)

Melinda?? hah I would have said cathy!

I confess that I'm going to put on a hot dress and go out alone tonight because I have no one to go with! Lame.

People will be people. Entitled to their opinions and preferences. I've been told that I'm too tall... and called "amazon" and once, "jolly green giant". I laugh it off and move on. Common courtesy would be nice, but some people lack that. Be glad they showed their lack of character early on- I wouldn't want any part of…

HOOOOOOLLLLLYYYYYYY BAGEEEEEEZUS. I love this show but haven't done the tv thing for a while. This is the greatest reality tv episode I have ever seen.

I have that bra! Oh.. did I miss the point?

I click these threads to read all the snark. Thanks for not letting me down MFPers. :flowerforyou:

You fit into the size 6 "hater store that shall not be named" blue jean cut offs from Junior year of high school.

I realized TODAY that all of my friends are either married or engaged. It's not like I'm old, but I'm starting to feel like a spinster. I'm going to be a crazy gym lady (I don't get along with cats)
-
I'm jumping on the sex bandwagon. But also having someone to cook for and drink with- sounds weird, but that's what I miss.

I chopped up a tenderloin yesterday to put filets up... that was beefy. I have different words to describe you.

Nerd. :-)

Green peas (sweet peans/garden peas).. whatever you call them just... NO.

I'm not being flippant when I say: therapy. It sounds like you have some issues with food (like a LOT of people, myself included) and figuring out your triggers/mindset and working through that can do wonders to your intake and lifestyle. Obsessing over food and/or bingeing are destructive behaviors- talk to someone who…

My first choice response to this was strike-worthy. ^My second-choice was to talk about my first choice. Lame.

I had a baby last May (end of the month makes a year) and I've been on here since the end of September (admittedly took a few "breaks") getting back in shape. :-)
-
I'm the opposite. The thought of a guy I'm dating meeting my family (3 older brothers and crapton of uncles) scares the begeezus out of me. No thanks. Not sure if it's a matter of him not measuring up or them scaring the hell out of the guy, but just... no. ETA: I did bring exactly two guys home to meet the fam: my uncle…

Texan reporting for duty! :-) Currently live in Baton Rouge, LA though...

Back at LSU for a dietetics degree... and I have a mini munchkin (11 months) which has it's own special set of obstacles, and I'll be finished with the NASM training course next month. Yayy.. hah
