Congratulations! I long for that day. I don't think I've been that weight since I was 16/17
How accurate do you rate the other measurements on your scale? That measures a lot of things!
Very highly inaccurate, in my opinion. I have it set on the "athlete" female setting, which is supposed to change how the body fat reads, but it doesn't. I'm certain I'm not 25.6% BF. Calipers at the gym have me at ~17%, which seems closer to reality, when I look at photos.
Uhhhhhh if you're 25% then I'm 50% lol. The body fat scales are such bunk
Thanks @kelly_c_77 ! I'm just going to chase the 3:30:00 pace bunny like she owes me money I guess

I would say you are closer to the Gym's estimate.1 -

So my husband gave me my early Mother's Day gift yesterday and registered me for the Red Deer Marathon...in 19 days lol. I confess that even though I am really excited about it I am worried that I won't BQ and my time is going to irk me. I've been training for Boston time but against what I thought would be my debut (June 18). Meanwhile my husband was on the phone with his Grandma, "Yeah so I guess we're going to Boston next year!" ....NO PRESSURE AT ALL!
Awwwwwwwwww he's trying to be supportive! 1 -

Awesome accomplishment Quik!0 -
Today is my eight of ninth days in a row & I've ate somewhat decently today.
I had a whole can of beans (I hope I don't blow it up at work tomorrow), a Birds Eye Protein Blend with Morningstar Steak Strips for lunch, & I'm eating three pints of my Enlightened ice cream (cause I figure I've made it through eight days with one to go & I need some treats haha).
My carbs are sky high today mostly from the veggies & ice cream & I don't give a crap.4 -
Kelly, I need to find some of this Enlightened. I had Halo Top peanut butter cup the other day and loved it!0

Ditto this, and he thinks a heck of a lot of your abilities!0 -
Kelly, at this point you deserve a treat just for making it out the house with matching shoes.
I was doing a clear out at the weekend and found a stash of photos from when I was around 16 - 19 years old. There are some hilarious ones. And some terrible drunken ones! But all in all, I wish I could go back and tell my 18 year old self that I was a lot hotter than I realised! I didn't have terrible self-esteem, but I remember worrying about how fat I was because I was 5 pounds over what a healthy BMI should be for my height. What a load of baloney, I looked great! It would be quite nice to only be 5 pounds over my healthy BMI now, but ho hum, no point worrying about that at the moment. If I manage to scan some pics, I will share and insist on some throwbacks from you too.5 -

Dittoing that! I was still overweight, but not in the realms that I am now. I think I was probably middle of the Overweight BMI back then, now I'm early days of Obese. 1 -
I confess that not going to the gym for 3 weeks was a terrible plan. (Not that I had a choice, end of school everything got in the way. Mom first. Lifter second.) Even deloaded lifts are making my legs scream today.0

I actually have the opposite experience looking at high school photos now. Everyone used to get at me about how I was "too thin". Uhhhhhh I was a pretty chubby bunny in reality, how much my drinking impacted this I cannot say

My weight went up and down in high school and younger (just like my adult self). I had terrible acne that I picked like crazy (stress) so most of my pictures are pretty gross. I had a 16 year old class ID picture I loved. I was thin, tan from the summer, and skin was clear. But I'd take the adult me over the teen me any day (except for the grey hair, wrinkles and whiskers).1 -

That is petty inventive!0
