Did I miss this or is it still pending?
The official (Un)official thread is here:
Thanks @SvenG!
All, I’ll start reviving that thread and nagging for starting pics soon!
I’ll try to figure something out. My son has respectfully requested that I not post pictures on the Internet. Being that not embarrassing my children is on my list of goals, I will respect his request. If I can’t find a compromise, I will unofficially participate on my own and be supportive of those who are officially participating.
Either way the point is setting and achieving goals which I plan to do.
Totally fair. Most of us cover our faces, so we’re not super identifiable, but I get it.
I’m open to other ideas, but I don’t know myself how else to inject a sense of reality.
Don’t worry about it. Just didn’t want you to think that I’m backing out cause I’m a wimp. Lol.
Perish the thought!
That’s right. I’m a bad MF. Don’t forget it.
BethBMF!
I should change my name on that note!
Darn it. I can’t change my name. The MF will just have to remain implied.
Would well-concealed face and hair help? Also, modesty (over looking like one of the galumpkis I so enjoyed on Christmas Day) pushed me to wear a tank top w/ running shorts for some of the challenge pics, I think including last year. Face removed, of course. It didn’t seem a big deal to me as let’s face it, the fine details of my particular “shred” are not really needed and I am the only one studying me closely.
You and I are both going for muscle, so I would think the clothes you wear to run in your neighborhood would be fine, and still show the change.
My sons have only found out over the past year or so about my participation on this site (without details about which “bodybuilding site”).
Totes! It’s not meant to be a creep show (except for @anon6371718 - speedo or nothing, sir)
I’ll ask him. I suppose the thought process is this: One day soon a friend of his will decide to join a weightlifting forum, he will eventually get tired of reading the logs of bodybuilders and power lifters and think to himself " you know, I really think that reading an old lady’s log will help me in my efforts". Soon he is perusing my log and says “hey I recognize that gym, that belongs to my friend’s mom!” Then he begins to search all of my posts. Soon he comes across a picture of me in a sports bra and high waisted pants and says “I recognize that 2 inches of flesh! I saw it last year at the local pool and now it’s here for the whole world to see!” Humiliation ensues. Or, you know, something like that.
Haha! That’s the log I was looking at when my youngest called me a creep!! ![]()

This is why it took me 20 years to mention it. ![]()
I could not have liked your post more. I had to read it to my husband.
I’ll leave it since you enjoyed it so much. ![]()
I had the option to wear nothing??
Awww dang! We’ve been missing out!
Please NOOOO!!!
Yeah yeah, keep saving face in public.
But you and i both know you never had to look in the first place.
