That's it! Swearing off leg days!
After getting in shape and completely renewing my entire clothes last year, it appears that I have to buy bigger paints - as all "standard" jeans becoming way too tight in my thighs.

Why? And how it is helping me everyday
WHY? What is YOUR why? How is a "why" of the moment compares to your other "whys"? A very long while back I had posted on another board about understanding why you are on this journey and it has always been on the back of my mind.

Peer review request - misconceptions and myths
Hi all! I feel pretty confident of the below list I've compiled as it came into being after a lot of reading and studying.

I want to share what worked for me to get to my goal in hopes it would help someone to achieve theirs.

MFP motivational friends - men dont need them?
I just flipped through about 20 pages of messages with many "add me" posts but not a single request from men. Why?
