@LBuehrle8, it's like a wreck...I just have to follow and apparently my family is friends with her for the entertainment as well.

True, traveled via plane a few times. I have never had a thigh gap.

I hope my cousin gets A&B charges filed against her for her stupidity. She's 22 with a cheating boyfriend (that she has recently taken back after posting screenshots on FB of his texts to other girls), a newborn baby, thinks she's a bada$$ and gets mad when people tell her to grow up and be a parent. She recently got into…

From what I have read from the OP's responses, she doesn't want to hear anything except her boyfriend's mother is wrong for what she did. She is protecting her "mouthy" child from a woman that she apparently has grown tired of having around. Here's my take on the whole situation: the boyfriend needs to step up and be a…

I knew of some places that did DEXA scans for $40. I considered it but instead when with a 7-site skinfold text with certified trainers that had degrees from universities specializing in sports.

I am more likely to go to an "expensive" restaurant when I'm alone than I would with my kids. Not because they are rude and loud but because I don't want to pay more if it's not good.

There is one guy at my gym that used to work there. He's pretty good looking. We used to exchange small talk when he was the manager. I think he looks a little like Derek Fisher, so I reference him as D-Fish when I do run into him. There is another young guy that I refer to as Mr. Hotness. lol Both of these guys are…

Don't worry about the others. No one is really watching you or even paying much attention. You may get a few looks in the beginning just for being a female lifter in the predominantly male section but if you continue to show up day in and day out, you will see the regulars. I have actually managed to get to know a few of…

I do but that's mainly because I'm super hungry on workout days.

FLY!

It depends on which fitbit you get. I have a fitbit flex and it counts my steps and sleep patterns but not necessarily my calories. The latest fitbit has an HR monitor which would help for calorie burn which may be the one you are talking about.

First time I did deads, I thought I was going to die the next day. lol I was sore as heck. I do the Stronglifts program so I do deadlifts 1-2 times a week. After doing them for a while, they have become one of my favorite lifts.

I eat most to all of them back because on workout days, I want all the food!

I use the Stronglifts 5x5 program and squat 3x a week. I started with the bar 8 months ago and am now squatting 220#. I think if I were to drop the weight back even to 200#, I could squat more than just the 3x a week.

This might be an interesting thing for me to do. I have tried listening to audiobooks at work but I find myself not paying much attention. Music is my "white noise" I suppose. Something to fill the silence. I have always been one to have something going on for as long as I could remember. Even when I did homework I had…

I hit, at a minimum,parallel on my squats. While I was doing ATG squats I discovered that I ended up hurting my ankle. How? I have no clue but it was the same ankle I sprained a lot from high school sports and I made the decision to stick with parallel.

It must be that vinyl collection rage.

Rap Strength Training station on Pandora.

Two major ex's: #1) dead beat dad that told me that he would go to prison before he helped me support our two kids and then 9 years after our youngest was born decides to start having children again. Good luck to his new baby mamas though, all that criticism of me, let's see how you guys like it. :) (Yes, I said baby mamas…

That was 15 years ago but I'm sure there are plenty of programs available. You could probably google "how to increase my vertical" and find a few things. I did a lot of jump rope, high jumps, squats and lateral jumps. I had actually used the program to build speed on a softball field. But I was also playing basketball in…

I personally try to stay away from those types of conversations. I do think obesity has become normal so no one really says much about it anymore. But heaven forbid Maria King post another picture of herself asking everyone what their excuse is. I think a big part of the judgmental comments towards "fit women" stems from…

Tomorrow I will do Week 3 Day 1.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say yes. I did not have a regimen that was for basketball but I did do a program that did increase my vertical. I'm 5'7" and was able to grab the rim. So give me another 3 inches in height and another 4-6 inches on my vertical and I could probably have dunked a girls ball.

Certified "Gangsta"?

I don't have "young" children but I do have children. Two daughters that are 12 and 9. Both play competitive sports and we are always on the go. I too am looking for more moms for continued motivation. Feel free to add me.

Started messaging this one guy. Funny, good looking, no kids, blah blah blah. We went out a few times and then he started talking about getting exclusive. Sure, why not? So he meets my kids, meets my Dad, tells me he's going to Dallas for the weekend and I never hear from him again. There was also another guy that gave me…

I have noticed a huge growth of people at my gym. Whether I go at 6:00 in the morning, 6:00 in the evening or 9:00 am on a Saturday. Majority of the new faces are in the cardio section. I have seen very few new faces in the free weight section or the machines section. I am really rooting for a lot of the new faces to stick…
