I'm 5'7" 145ish, and people can't believe I can't get in anything smaller than a size 10 dress. Bodies are weird.

lol...seems like now qualifies...

I have them on my butt, chest, and belly. I've never met a man that cared about it one way or the other.

Walking? I'm not sure I could do structured exercise 7 days a week.

Bring a sandwich next time.

Talk to a doctor. Also, St. John's Wort can render hormonal birth control ineffective.

I've known 3 people that did the Advocare 24 day challenge (or is it 21 days? I don't know.) and they all lost inches and weight doing it. Aaaaand promptly gained it all back and more when they went back to how they normally ate. There's no shortcut or miracle supplement.

I feel it's important to look and feel my best every day of my life.

This is a terrible troll post.

There is no set weight training program that is for fat burning. Weight training is for building/retaining muscle and increasing strength. If you want to "burn fat" you need to look at your diet first.

After reading more of the comments, I'm convinced. You should REALLY just work at Hooter's.

Ohhhhh...so you mean a go-go dancer! BIG difference, there. Also, it's not stripping unless someone is actually stripping their clothes.

Stripping while classy? Um...are you talking about a burlesque?

I see you're 18 years old. Would you have a problem telling your parents what you do for work? Any of your siblings? If you do, then it may not be for you. Also, "wear really cute clothes"? Do strippers actually wear clothes? Edit: You should probably just get a job at Hooters or Twin Peaks.

Are you counting calories?

So you're saying because I'm female, I can still solicit you for nudes?

OMG that woman on the pull up bar! Dying...lol

So everyone that's tried crossfit loves it? Okay...

Uh...change your genetics?

Those are good too. I think deadlifts do more for my hamstrings that butt though. They definitely help to define that hamstring/glute separation.

The deeper your squat, the more you'll feel it in your butt too. Keep up the good work.

This. And even then, what Catholics define as a "fast" consists of just one meal a day, and it doesn't specify which meal or what time of day that should be. So technically you could go to Golden Corral, eat 4000 calories and still be within the guideline.

No, you're right. It is offensive to make that comparison. I don't know why someone would compare "falling off the wagon" in your diet to the struggle of an alcoholic.

I take it you do ballet? That is awfully specific. Any kind of resistance program is going to be more accessible than a ballet studio. I suggest weight lifting to people because it gives me more bang for my buck. I only do it 3 times a week for 30 minutes a time, and it is serving me well.

Is this an internet friend? Why the heck would you not know if he was married or not, after being friends for a year?

Then I reserve the right to call them out on it. Religion is a sensitive subject.

Then don't call it a Lenten sacrifice. Call it the 40-day vegan diet or whatever else people like to contort it to.

Doh! Yes, I meant Matthew. I didn't look it up and was going completely by memory. Misspoke. I get what you're saying. She's not saying what she is doing, but she is asking everyone else what we are doing to fast. I told no one. No one gets to know. Not even my husband. It's between me and my deity. You can't just ASK…

No, it's not the same. Like, not even close. Christmas and Easter have a lot of traditions rooted in pagan practices. While Lent is a 40-day sacrifice leading up to Easter, it is completely rooted in Christianity. While it's cool that non-religious folks want to participate, it is NOT cool to twist it around to equate it…

Do you need advice or are you just curious what everyone does? If you're religious in your understanding of Lent, then you should understand that the Lenten sacrifice is between the individual and their God. Did you not read the Ash Wednesday gospel today? Mark 6:1-6?
