well that just goes to show the BMI is a crock of shit. can’t wait until i’m clinically obese 
It’s your height that’s making your BMI low. You can either put on some weight or shrink 5 inches =D
Oh Mainie, only I hear that a picture is too much. You’re golden mama :*
Lovely legs and the full length shot is perfect - you look like a classical greek statue.
I love this log!

What it’s done for you is phenomenal!
I second the Greek statue comment, I was thinking the exact same thing.
Overweight my ass…absolutely beautiful. We’re probably all overweight based on BMI (except for Kimba). It makes no allowance for muscle mass.
you resemble a dega
it is quite magnificent
do not hold back, please
I just realized Im obese too
thank you all for the beautiful compliments The number on the scale means nothing.
decided I was hardheaded enough to squat for a 3rd time this week. problem is my hip flexors weren’t having it. I was having issues with depth all night.
shoulder dislocates
wall squats
bodyweight squats
fire hydrants
retard frogs
squats:
barx12
95x5
115x5
135x3
155x3
175x1
185 4x1 - hit depth once.
205 - fail. wasn’t having it tonight.
155 8x1
135 1x5
tried to increase my speed going down, push knees out, arch lower back and hit depth…
LOVE the artsy pics. Beautiful and so feminine. So much muscle on those legs already.
Hey, my hip flexors have been giving me a bit of grief when I squat too. I’ve been neglecting my stretching.
You know, I think most of the women on here would be considered “overweight” by normal standards. No one is, obviously, but that’s how the world is, dammit. Anything over a size 10 is “overweight”. So many people trying to get down to size 0 or 2 or 4. No thank you!
I’m right on the edge. Some days my BMI is over 25 and I’m overweight. Some days its not. Some days I start off being healthy and then by the end of the day I’m overweight…Very reliable measurement, that BMI calculation.
i don’t think the BMI factors in denser (hence heavier) bones that we get from lifting or the muscle mass that we have. it simply assumes that that extra weight is fat. stupid BMI. i have read a fair bit of stuff on how it isn’t appropriate for athletes for precisely those reasons.
Damn…nother woman that benches more than me 
Mais je vais encore prendre un sandwich au porc.
Hi!
Morning BC
MIM - shouldn’t you be attending to your soldier? Get outta my log and into his pants woman! lolz.
Yesterday was a good family day, visited with mom, brother and family and an Aunt who was down for a visit from Nova Scotia. On our way back we stopped at the hospital and had supper with mother in law. I even rubbed her feet with a little tiger balm. Poor woman has been chained to the bed in a hospital for 2 months now. An can hardly feel her legs. Let alone move them.
Today is benching and BBQ ribs at the bros.
Tomorrow is a national holiday. God bless the queen for getting rid of a Monday.
So much win in this log. You’ve worked so long and hard to get that 20 lb. squat PR. I was SO EXCITED for you! You inspire me to work on my wall squats much harder than the desultory way in which I currently do.
Great pictures. Amazon legs, coming right along!
I really like the picture of you sitting on the counter. Do you ever get the hubby to take any of these sexy pics? That could definitely be foreplay.

rarely - I’m too anal about the finish product. I can retake the same picture 100 times to get the right light and such. working with others usually gets on my nerves.
Ya know, I think Charlie Horse is on to something here.
Im thinking about a situation where the final product doesnt matter as much as the process. Seductive poses by a flirty model = happy ending.
something to look into…
shoulder dislocates x12
Bench: all with no lift offs or spotters.
bar x12
95 x5
115 x5
125 x3
130 x3
135 x3
140 x3 - happy with this
145 x1 - was hoping for 2 but the first lift off misfired which cost me.
edit:
forgot to mention 135lbs x2 with a 2second pause to chest. I hate bench pauses. Did I ever mention how much I hate them??
Millies:
bar x8
70 x5
80 x3
85 x4
BBQ ribs for supper. living it up
How long do you pause for?
