HIGH: Well I will say first...I have lost 6lbs in the past 7 days and I am super stoked about it! Another high this week was just the overall feeling of just feeling better about where I am going in terms of goals and what I need to do. I have been doing really well with not eating late, not eating sweets, sticking with only water, etc.
LOWS: Ok, so I went to my personal trainer assessment last night. Now he has me get on this scale that supposedely figures out your body fat% as well. Needless to say, the little receipt prints out and it says 42.6%!!!! Now here is the thing....I am in complete denial, after the initial shock of wanting to cry. I honestly don't feel that this is accurate at all! I feel like there is no damn way I have 80lbs worth of fat on my body. So the little receipt goes on to say that I need to lose 50lbs of fat. Hmmmm ok. I was pretty upset about this, I am not going to lie. But then we proceeded to the workout and I did not too bad...I was exhausted I am not going to lie....He had me on the elliptical on level 11 or something like that for 10 minutes, then on the stationary bike for 1 minute at level 25 and then a minute of pushups, then back to the bike for a minute, and then bicycle crunches for a minute, then back to the bike and then over to a bench to just sit down and stand up for a minute. My asthma definitely kicked in and I hadn't eaten enough to sustain that kind of workout I don't think. I mean I pushed through, but it could have been better. Then we did some ab and arm work. All in all not bad....but the body fat thing was still bothering me. Nevertheless, I am just going to have to work hard and see where I am as it pertains to body fat once I hit my goal weight. Ugh!0 -

That seems so incredibly impossible to me. And how does a scale figure that out? Something seems a bit off with that number.0 -

My highs this week I've managed to eat really good and stay withing my calorie goal range since I haven't been able to work out. I have still managed to lose a pound as well so I'm happy about that.
My lows this week is I'm still sick and coughing up a long everytime I try to workout I start barking. uggggg I need to work out my body isn't sore anymore and I feel like I need my workouts. I'm going to try today and see what happens I'm feeling a lot better hope it goes well. Plus TOM is here now so uggggg I definitely know I need my workout especially with that hershey almond I at already this morning.. Sad!!!!0 -

Girl you sound like me with your hershey with almond in the morning on TOM LOL It is ok...it happens to the best of us! I would make sure you are 100% before working out again, unless you go walking or something low-impact. Sometimes when you work out prematurely...it makes the sickness stay longer because your body hasn't recovered.0 -

Some electrical current or something like that.....I was just reading about what kind of scale it is. But I just don't get it. I mean...I know I shouldn't let it bother me too much...but at the same time, that is a high number and in my head I kept thinking, "Well what the hell was it when I was 60lbs heavier!?"0 -
HIGHS: i've been doing pretty well food & workout wise this week. worked out tuesday, wednesday, yesterday, going to work out today and most likely tomorrow. going to set my rest day for sunday since weigh in is monday.
LOWS: after tonight, i'll have eaten pizza twice this week. ugh. i love it, but i usually don't eat it twice in a week! tonight i'm going out for my friends' bday so i am managing to squeeze in a workout so i'll still be under my calorie goal for the day. hopefully all will be ok for weigh-in. so far, i'm down a tiny bit, but TOM could make crazy things happen.0 -
Highs: I have been getting my 8 glasses of water everyday. Boy this is a tough one for me.
Lows: I have not been keeping up with my workouts like I should be. I have only worked out once this week. Ugh! And I have been over my calories everyday, but one. I really have to buckle down and get this done.0 -

i had a similar experience with one of those scales. a teacher for a PE class last year made us do this IN FRONT OF THE CLASS, first of all i wanted to kill her, and second of all i was in complete shock. Mine also said i was 42% body fat. About 6 months later after losing weight and consistently working out daily i got on another scale like this and it said 32% body fat. Im not convinced that I believe it either time. I really dont feel like a flabby slob who has that much weight to lose. if i lost all the 'fat' that it claimed I had id be skeletal... obviously you can see it made me a little angry :mad:
so anyways.. for todays highs and lows, i have consistently worked out, but i have eaten inconsistenty, and not always with the best choices. overall i feel positive about the week, i just need to lay off the booze this weekend so i dont swell up for our weigh in.. good luck everyone, happy friday!0 -
Ok, so I made an appointment to do Ultrasonic Body Composition Test.....this is suppose to be the "Gold Standard" in measuring body fat, muscle composition, etc. It will alsl give me a reading of how much of my fat is excess and how much is essential, it also factors in your natural body frame. So I am dishing out $45.00 but hell, I need to put my mind at ease and get a more accurate reading to gauge where I need to be.0

Highs: Drinking lots and lots of water.

I feel your pain girly... mine was 34.6 and i almost vomited... so like, I'm a 3rd fat? I was told I need to lose about 35-40lbs of fat... sigh0

Highs: I managed to get back into my water habit as promised...I didnt reach 10 glasses everyday but on most day I was over 8..
Lows: I was at a conference this week at the Hilton which included lunch and coffee breaks and too many **** tail receptions....I really tried to eat healthy lots of salads and water but the desserts, the ham and the pork were very tempting but I still ate too much... Thank God its over0 -
I haven't been doing my stretches at all. But I'm no sitting on an exercise ball, instead of my chair, so I can do some core workouts while I'm doing everything at my computer! Last night when I was going to bed, I had a feeling I was still on it. That shows just how much I really do sit there! :noway:0
