a year ago (at 22) i was wearing some old jeans from highschool, they were slightly snug. well i went to get in my truck and the crotch ripped! i have weighed the same since highschool and continue to wear the same size jeans, but i was like "damn!" maybe it was cuz they were old? lol it was funny...

Haha I've had the exact same thing happen to me with my old favorite pair of jeans! The crotch ripped when I was stepping up to get into my Jeep. Not a good noise to hear.

That is a little crazy. It is a stupid idea because in most cases of death caused by knives or sharp objects women stab more often than men, but men tend to slash. So according to that data this knife is an ineffective for killing husbands.

Ah, so I'm guessing this knife was thought up and is being sold by....  HUSBANDS!

I guess we'll just have to learn how to slash! ha

I'm 23! There are a good amount of us out there. I generally try to avoid the teen sections: a lot of drama and overreacting

If they feel so fat then why are they the same women who also make a point of posting pictures of themselves in bikinis / standing in front of a mirror / in revealing clothing looking NOT EVEN CLOSE to anywhere near needing to lose ANY weight / tone up?... most, in my opinion could stand  to gain about 5- 10lbs to look normal. Seriously, no one likes a bone-bag.

I'm not trying to bash you but aren't you one of them? I looked at your pics and you have at least 7 separate bikini pics up and you look fabulous in all of them! I understand the extremes you are talking about: the girls who's bones are sticking out at sharp angles, who run 8 miles a day everyday and freak out when they eat over 1200 cals. I think it is more sad than annoying.

I am currently at a healthy weight but i yo yo like crazy and I use this site to get back into a regular exercise routine and normal healthy eating. Sure I want to lose a few more lbs but all my goals are in the "healthy" range. I like to post pics of myself as motivation. ie I look good at this weight and my CC friends can see the progress that I've made.

But I think I've also heard that it's better to do a gentler version of what your actual workout as part of your warmup. 

This! 

Have you ever seen someone warm up for a swim by going for a jog? or warm up for a run by going swimming?  If those don't make sense why do people insist on warming up for lifting on a treadmill/eliptical/bike/etc?

Yeah it's definitely good to do a gentler version too. But when I wake up in the morning I need to run a little or ride a bike for 15 minutes to get blood flowing before I lift. If you are lifting later in the day after moving around for a while you can probably skip the cardio "warm up" and just start with lighter version of whatever you are lifting. I also agree with amethystgirl that some mobility stuff is good too.

Thank you, floggingsully for your hilarious sarcasm

OMG!! Mine was called Santa Rita also and in the Chao Valley. I think we may have gone to the same field school! What summer did you go? Was your field school professor's name Dr. Jonathan Kent?

hahaha I hear you. Gotta love the lab! I did my field school in Peru too! The site was  Moche on the northern coast.  I've also worked on a dig in Northern Ca where I currently reside. My concentration in college and current interests are in human osteology and biological archaeology. I am currently working on a study analyzing bone density in healthy and overweight living children... trying to save money for grad school. My dad agreed to pay for grad school if he could pick the program. Apparently bioarchaeology didn't make his list. lol. Have a wonderful summer in Peru! I would love to make it back soon.

ya protein is best and if you still have fat try cut down on carbs and get all your energy from protein it will help you build up muscle mass making you able to work out harder next time lol

"getting all your energy from protein" is not a good idea either. A balanced diet is key. You want to eat carbohydrates, protein, and fat. Some people recommend 40-30-30 (meaning 40% calories from carbs, 30% from fat, and 30% from protein) but I personally eat about 33-33-33 (that doesn't exactly =100% but it's approximate).

15! Geez I must have been a late bloomer or something!

Seriously, the OP should not be attacked for her sexual activity. That is a very personal decision and though she may be young she has every right!

  the issue was and is not that she is underage.

i'm all for sex in a loving relationship whether your underage or not---if one is mature and takes precautions and exhibits some intelligence in regards to it.

its her ED, its effects on her body, and the risk of STDs, that are the issues. 

otherwise, i agree with your point to the letter  

 I wasn't specifically talking to you. I agree with your points too :)

Thanks for the responses! I am going to stay away from the smith machine because I already have lower back problems and had ACL surgery in my left knee. It's tuff being a bipedal female athlete. I put a lot of weight on the bar and I don't want to risk any further damage.

Melkor, are you by any chance from Nor Cal? I saw you dropped a hella in an above post.

Yes, it is a smith machine. Thanks, amethystgirl!

Hi again!

Well there is your problem... you are not eating enough to put on muscle. Good new is that you can easily fix the problem! Do as chrissy1988 says and up your cals to at least 1500. If you want to really build muscle than you should consume even more. You probably aren't getting enough fiber in your diet. Are you eating mainly protein? Try adding fruits, veggies, whole grains, and nuts/fats into your diet. You will see an increase in the intensity of your workouts... I did. I use to try to restrict too much but i realized that you have to eat to lose and my workouts have greatly benefited. Good luck!

I'm sorry your friends are acting like jerks :(. I hate when people try to say that genes are the reason that people are overweight and there is nothing they can do about it. Yes, studies have shown that genes do play a role in weight gain and loss as well as effects body type and metabolic rate ect. However, weightloss/gain also  has a lot to do with environmental factors such as food intake and exercise. They are 100% wrong to tell you that losing weight is unhealthy for you because of you genes! Prove them wrong!

Hmm. Try to distribute your weight through all of your fingers and really push back with your entire hand and fingers. I'm sorry i can't help more. Check this sit out it may help explain things better than me :)

thanks for your responses!

gi-jane, I've just booked an appointment with my doctor in 2 weeks time so that I can discuss it *^.^*. 

smeek, I'm glad your own surgery went so well - I'm definitely going to look into surgery, but I feel there are so many taboos associated with it - i mentioned it to one of my friends a few weeks ago, and their first response was 'why would you want to look plastic'?

 

I have a friend who had her breasts done because she had tubular breasts and they look fantastic! I'm actually kind of jealous. They do not look plastic at all. The only way they look plastic is when women opt for very large implants. Your doctor will be able to recommend sizes for you. Also make sure you have a reputable surgeon and you will be fine!
