told my fiance...

[Phemomena]

about the gear tonite... he didn't have any idea, but all of the sudden he's telling me how much he likes the elite fitness boards and can see why i post so much here... (just a little background, he's not as serious about fitness as i am, but he does workout... it took him weeks and weeks of debate before he decided to 'use creatine ')

i'm thinking he'll put 2 and 2 together and figure out who i am eventually and then know all about it... soooo i decided i'd rather he hear it from me...

he wasn't mad... didn't freak, was a little surprised, but actually was pretty cool about it...he says he's alright with it since he knows i always have my head on my shoulders and i've been working so hard to get where i want to be... he knows that i've done all my research and that i would never do anything that would harm me... nice to know he has that kind of confidence and support for me... he actually went so far to say that it was kinda 'cute'... don't know what he meant by that??

it feels great to get that off my chest... he's the best guy ever, and i hate keeping things from him... i just wasn't sure how he'd react... its been so hard for me to sneak behind his back all the time too...


well, things are all good here...

Congrats! I still think your best defense is offense --- educate him! Fear comes from ignorance or naivite.

 

[ColumboWeiser]

Glad you told him! I have told my woman everything...she is cool with most stuff, exept slin...but I think I have her talked into letting me use it

WOW phem.. good for u!! i know... i hate lying. it would eat me up too if i had to live with the person and lie to him all the time. i was going to lie to my b/f but we broke up so now i can shoot up all the roids in the world and dont have to feel guilty about it, lol . ahhhh -- u must feel like a ton of bricks have been removed from ur chest...good feeling!! well phem.. this is day 2 on anna for me. dont feel that much different. only two things... i did lift a lil heavier today BUT i really think it was my mind set.. i was feeling pumped b/c i knew i was pumped sort of thing. also-- ive just stopped all eca's and shit (im gonna stay off all fat burners for about 4-6 weeks) my appetite is crazy!!! today i was out to lunch with my mom... she orders a cheese burger with fries and i get grilled chicken salad oh joy!! anyway.. i used to be a vegetarian now i eat poultry and seafood.. but i wanted that beef man!! i cant believe i was actually craving red meat it usually repulses me but i was like this hungry ass MOFO. sometimes its hard for me to eat chicken or turkey. i just have this lil voice inside me that likes to remind me of what it is i am actually eating... its horrible.. its like i feel guilty allll the time..poor lil animals!! anywho im doing good though..sticking to my diet and all... i threw in an extra cardio today just for the hell of it and thats it really. hey-- keep an eye on those nose bleeds ya hear. just lookin out for a fellow elite sista -- KBgrl

good for you

I'm assuming that your fiance doesn't use AS. It's kind of weird hearing a woman tell a man that she's using AS. Usually it's the other way around. I think you did the right thing. Honesty is key. And maybe you'll persuade him into using AS himself...

hehe i doubt that'll happen... i've told him that when I think he's ready i'll hook him up with a sweet cycle

yup... its been a weird situation all around... i've been really serious into my workouts for about 3 years now, and he's more a 'recreational' gym guy... though i have inspired him to take it a lot more seriously... he's obviously stronger than me (he's 6'2'' and a really lean 180) but there are times when i think he's only doing it to compete with me... (i don't think he'd like to be shamed i think that this actually made him feel better since i'm quickly closing in on some of his weights (in things like quad curls, squats, dls))

he teased me today saying at least his abs are natural... i said that mines looked better still... he had no comment to that !

 

[tripleV]

good 4 you. my husband and i will be starting a cycle together in a few weeks. diff gear. will see how this goes 2 of us!?!

 

[natglutes]

Phem................
Honesty is the best policy, since the 2 of you are planning on spending the rest of your lives together. Good for you, dont think for a minute that your abs are not natural........
Looking great

Curious???

My boyfriend was taking Deca at one time before I moved up to be with him, and he has since stopped taking it.

I have heard alot of negative stuff about using...my question is....what does it really do to a woman's body besides the obvious....make it beautiful. Saw your pics, Phemom....very nice. I have heard all sorts of things including making it to where you can't bare kids. That's the one thing I do want and at 31 years old and the fact that I might not be able to get pregnant anyway...I don't want to take the chance of using and not being able to have kids at all.

And since you know me and my story Phemom...if I did start using something, what should I use and when would be the right time?

Once I get down to my weight goal...I will have to post before and after pics. LOL.

 

[Phemomena]

thanks for the kind words, but lets just start by saying AS did NOT give me the body i have!!! i have been 'on' for just under 3 weeks, but i've been training seriously (heavy lifting, lots of cardio) and strict eating for over 3 years.... hard work and dedication has gotten me here, not popping a few pills...

nothing is going to replace the hard work... save the money, spend it on things that motivate you (be that personal training sessions, new outfits, or other treats to yourself)

just keep doing what you're doing and working hard... it doesn't make sense for you to be looking at to the anabolic world just yet...you're progressing amazingly well, but steroids at this time are not the answer for you... results that you will see (minimal) are not worth the potential sides (which there are many) or the money you will spend (as used by women are generally more costly)...

look at it like this... the way you're body is changing right now, it probably doesn't know up from down... you can't accurately track your progress (or be aware of your sides) during such a phase of change! you are doing GREAT without any extra help... if you were loosing weight any quicker, i'd be worried, since its not healthy to loose the weight rapidly!!!

do some research, read around, and keep it open for a future option, but right now, keep on your current path, you're just not ready yet... eat clean and healthy foods, keep up with the cardio and get into the gym and start off slowly with the weights... you'll get there, keep up the hard work and you will get there!!!

Penom's post

BUMP^^

When I told my last bf he said it was him or the roids/gym. He has only seen the media images of drawn women at contest time plus the freaky ones who don't compete because they are 'too' masculine to get anywhere - he thought I would turn into that over night!

Anyway, he turned out to be a real wierdo who is now stalking/harrassing me because I chose life without him.

Some men I know think it is real cute, others think it is dangerous, a threat to fertility and my health.

Does anyone know what the stats are on steroid induced infertility in women?

I often think that negative responses to women on AS is due to women being seen as nothing else but child bearers.

 

[MaligntRED]

I know....I am not quite ready to jump on the steriod bandwagon just yet. I know that looking for a quick fix isn't going to help me just yet. Besides I kinda like the thought that I am doing this...and doing it by myself. But once I get down there in a "normal sized" body I may have to go that route.

I know it's going to sounds kinda funny coming from someone like me (at this point in time) but I have always toyed with the thought of working out and getting in shape and starting doing amatuer body building shows and seeing where I actually got. Weird coming from a couch potato....I just never got as serious about it as I have got now.

I will admit I am really proud of the way things have been going. I think that one of my major set backs has always been with the fact that I would always slip up and revert back into old habits. I know that when I was having problems with my tooth I went three days without walking and getting back up on that forth day and getting out there was hard.

I know that once I get a new job and I am not working nights anymore (11-7a) I am going to get a membership at the gym where my boyfriend goes. That's going to be the hard thing....none of his friends like me because I am a fat chick. They have told him that he is too good for me.....that he should find someone who is much better than me, younger than me (we have a 10 year age difference 31/21). They ahve even went as far as trying to hook him up with another girl. I was going at one point in time but then I stopped....gained 50 pounds. I know that before I got back I want to be below 300.

If anything....you guys here on the board have been alot of help to me.....

Thanks.....

Wanted to let you know that I am still in the land of the living and that I haven't fallen off the wagon so to speak, my PC is in the process of being hooked up to a cable modem. They came out while I wasn't here and my boyfriends parents didn't know what to tell them other than it didn't work. The three guys who came out said that we needed a phone line. Now correct me if I am wrong...but when you have a cable modem you don't need a phone line. Hence the advertizment for not needing a second phone line and being able to be online and using the phone at the same time. The cable guy(s) are supposed to be here tomorrow. Which I will be here and after a week without a PC AND having worked all .night long I should be in a real good mood for them. Good thing I had a friend who let me borrow his laptop. Granted it took me a week to get it.

Still walking...did take a three day break because my ankles were killing me. I don't know why...I guess because I was trying to take myself faster than what I was ready for...either that or it was those damned biting flies I was trying to walk faster than...LOL.

Thanks for the Bump, Phem.

 

[Phemomena]

bump again for red... keep it coming with the updates (hope the cable guy fixed ya up, and NO, you shouldn't need a phone line for cable modem! )
