I tuck in the front of my shirt for anything that will have me inverted b/c I like to be able to see/breath. If I was in better shape and not trying to hide my giggly bits, I'd probably just take my shirt off. I was a runner before I started xfit, so I just wear my running skirts/shorts with lining to WOD in. my fav brand…

$135 for 3x week. It would be $175 for unlimited.

send them either way! :) I'm sure I'll need one eventually. I have emailed the owner and she said come any time & I can buy a shirt instead of paying the fee. (I've been facebook stalking them, and they do have some pretty awesome shirts that they design. I hope they have the one I really like when I get there!) Thanks for…

I added some coconut milk to my 'usual' spaghetti sauce last week & it made a really nice creamy pink sauce.

31 here :)

go with sleeveless or buy the large and have it tailored?

who cares if they roll their eyes or judge you? do your thing and keep going if you like it, or change classes to something new next month if you're not that into it. People come & go in classes all year long. It's not worth the effort of "regulars" to bother worrying if you'll be there in a few weeks or not, they're just…

I always like this analogy. :) The only people to comment recently were a guy at my gym (we're all doing a paleo challenge so he's probably paying more attention than most 'normal' people) and one of my girlfriends that I see once every 6-12 months.

"hiking, climbing hills (carrying 10-20lb load)" seems to be the closest thing.

Same except I also like to wear different shorts for run heavy WODs. I always go the same days and time & I meet up with a friend so we hold each other accountable not to cherry pick.

holy crap. O_O how long did it take you?

Why don't you ask the exgirlfriend if she knows your man has naked pictures of her? it's possible her exbf is a douchbag & sent her naked pics to all his buddies without telling her.. As for the rest of it- dump this guy. You have trust issues & they won't be resolved by proving that he is currently cheating or not.

+1 I'd also love to have new friends from the group! :)

https://www.onemoremilerunning.com/ will ship internationally - it's not "crossfit" clothes, but they are good quality shirts (I have 2 tanks from them) They do custom text/images too, so you could have it say whatever you want, but I've never ordered anything custom.

I do some oly lifts as part of my crossfit.. but I'm not an advanced or "heavy" lifter yet. :

I totally suffer from this! Esp when I'm getting coaching cues/encouragement & I'm like "1, 2, 3, chest up, 3, look forward, 3, you got this!, 3.. " crap. I think I usually end up doing more reps b/c I know I lost count so I go from the last number I remember. The last time we did fran we partnered & one person was the…

I don't think they'll try to make you puke the first day.. :)

They should scale everything to your abilities. You could always ask about student discounts.. I think my place gives discounts for students/military/police/fire. (& a discount for 2nd/3rd/+ family members) It's great that you found a deal to try out crossfit. How long is the trial? Keep in mind that different boxes have…

I wouldn't worry about 3 days. Try not to weigh yourself every day, maybe once a week or so would be plenty. Make sure you weigh at the same time of day and same day of the week. Plateaus can last months, but I wouldn't call it a plateau until it has been a few weeks at the same weight.

I'm also overweight, I have about 30-40lbs more to lose, but I wish I had started crossfit 20lbs ago. I feel like the WODS work me more than I worked myself when I was running alone. I've only lost 2-3 lbs since starting (Mid-august) but I can tell I'm getting stronger. I need to eat better than I have been, I think that…

great job! :)

Foam rolling right after the WOD helps & I use a lacrosse ball sometimes too. Epsom salt baths also help me relax. If you're not sure how to use the foam roller, your coach should be able to show you some effective techniques.

^^^ this is exactly what I was thinking. AND I think that 25 yr olds dating 16 year olds is CREEPY. I'm going to guess that the reason he liked you at 16 is because you didn't threaten him as an intelligent woman would. Now that you want to improve yourself, he's distancing himself because he needs/wants to go find another…

ditto the others about c25k, it's a good program to start with. At first, focus less on speed & more on maintaining a steady pace that you can finish the session with. So, if you're on a day where you Walk 1 min/ Run 1 min (or whatever it is, I can't remember exactly how it starts..) Try to go at a speed where you can…

lol.. i read this and thought you were going to be 60+. 39 is not "old man" !! also, a nice *kitten* is a nice *kitten* at any age. ;)

you guys are awesome! :) great job!

it's meant to bring the post/topic up to the top of the list so that other people will see it & reply.

I don't think 1200 is enough for anyone.. so I'd say eat more like 1500. However, if you are going to only eat 1200 per day, you need to eat quality food. Quality food does not include ice coffee or bagels. Try more fruits/vegs that are high volume/low calorie density. If you eat meat, that will probably also help with…

ditto what the others have said.. Log every day, even the bad ones. Go for a run with your dog. Stock your house with healthy foods. Allow "cheat" days if you need/want them to stay motivated. (ex: If I do XYZ this week, I can have ABC. Just keep it reasonable.) If you drink alcohol, you need to count drinks in your log…

This is exactly what I was going to say. I know some girls really love the buttons... but remember that your (i'm assuming) half/fully drunk new husband is going to be the one to help you out of the dress at the end of the night ;)
