Nope makes perfect sense like this! :)

Oh goodness. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!! This did it, I FINALLY understand! I wish I had an apple to put on your desk! I really appreciate the effort and time you took to help me :)

So workout A, Day one, I do 4 different types/variations of squats, at 2 sets of 15? Is that right?

Hrmmm okay so I think I am confused with the 4 workouts per square. For example Workout A, the squats. There are 4 workout... WO 1 / 2 SETS / 15 REPS WO 2 / 2 SETS / 15 REPS WO 3 / 2 SETS / 12 REPS WO 4 / 2 SETS / 12 REPS I was under the impression to do it like this from the book. WO 1/15 REPS WO 2/15 REPS WO 1/12 REPS WO…

Unfortunately because of my ceiling height the smaller rack is better for my environment. When you say beginners rack, do you mean I would be using more than the 700lbs of weight? Because that won't happen LOLOL. Can you explain what you mean by beginner rack? Thanks.

I bought it. Thank you. :)

Seems a bit cheap. I have learned when things are cheap, they are crappy as well. But it has some rave reviews. I found it for even cheaper then on Amazon actually.

This is HOT!!! Exactly what I want to see for myself. Awesome!

How old are you? For science and to plan accordingly. I too am skinny fat, but age and all.

This interests me because, well AGE! I wonder if older age plays a role in your technique and your results. Interesting none the less.

Thank you ladies. I am reading into it and thanks for the links. Recomp. Yaaaa :)

I dont really want to lose the weight, like you say, just the fat. So recomp. Are their any sort of plan of actions for this adventure? I am lifting weights as it is, but at a deficit. So basically just eat my TDEE calories and lift at the same time?

OMGoodness now this is interesting! Wow thanks for the info. If nothing, this is something I need to look into. Thanks again!

It's just blatant fat that is there, on my belly that is left. I would say at least 5lbs of fat. Contine a deficit still? I eat 1200kcals per day. So a 800cal deficit about?

My strength training includes squats while holding a 11lb dumbbell, curls with the same dumbbell, pushups, sit on my butt and take the same dumbbell and move them from one side to the other, and a type of modified thing where I lift one leg while holding a 11lb. dumbbell, then do the same thing with the other leg. I do…

You know what I like? Wasa flat bread. Lots of fiber in those, low calorie, and they are delicious! I have replaced all bread, bagels, etc. with Wasa and it has upped my fiber immensely. You can put anything you want on Wasa, and it wont fall apart either. They are made from whole grains. Try them. :)

For science, would it be tacky to wear a heart rate monitor when getting it on? I could just pretend it's a handcuff or something.

Because sex.

Vodka and club soda. Squirt some lemon or lime in it.

here is a calculator I found. Not sure of its accuracy though since it doesn't include weight and age, but just position, duration, and gender. http://www.sexcalculator.co.uk/

All I do is walk at 5mph for cardio, lost 15 lbs. in a month so I suppose that was my "woosh". I do strength training though but not sure if that counts? However, with that being said, for sure it's the calorie deficit that has me losing like this. I didn't change my diet at all. All I did change was to give up beer, which…

5' 6" at 117lbs. A co-worker asked me if I was sick and I want to apppear healthy and strong, not ill. But you are right and I agree, I am definitely over thinking it. Yeap that's the term I am looking for! Thanks!

Yea well you are rocking a nice stomach. I would be extremely thrilled to have that belly. I believe I am harboring at least 5lbs of fat around my mid section and another 5lbs of loss would bring me at 17 BMI. I was FINALLY able to get over 100 grams of protein in today! That was a breakthrough for me. I absolutely should…

I read that thread when I started MFP and am following it actually since that is what my goal is. I do all of those suggestions while in a deficit. I was just curious if there was something else I might have been missing, but it appears not. What would be really cool is a comparison chart showing what a 17 BMI on a woman…

I could really use some education in this area. So if someone has an 18.9 BMI, and it looks like there is at least 5lbs of fat in the stomach area, you have to bring your BMI to below normal weight to get rid of the fat? Say after losing 5lbs of belly fat all the while building strength, will the abs appear toned? Or just…

You know that in developed countries, poverty does not equal living off of 20$ week on food? That is because in developed countries they tend to subsidize the poor peoples food intake. You know this, right? Poverty in developed countries with an obese population is directly caused by bad high caloric subsidized food…

I can tell this is going to be so easy for you! It won't be too challenging for you to get back into shape at all. Upload your progress pics too. Good luck OP :)

If your belly is sticking out and people are going to call you pregnant, then you have a bunch of fat. I would be focusing on your calorie deficit until you lose your gut. Plus, your diet kind of stinks ATM. Work on the fat, deficit, and diet. Don't bother worrying about muscles because you aren't close to being there for…

I am not trying to lose weight, but just trying to lose some fat. I have noticed an abdominal muscle starting to show in less than a months time. Eleven pounds of fat!!!
