^^ This.... I use an electronic one that is a hand held, still not the best as a dunk though. I tried a scale this weekend and it was WAY off. I know the electronic one I have is correct because I did both that and the calipers and they were about the same. They were the same so much I just stopped using the calipers. It…

I am between 16 and 17 right now. I keep going back and fourth the last week or so. Darn period.... always freaks out my body fat tester, heheh. I think I am about a 16.5 really. I am going for maybe a 14-15. Really its how I look. I lose it last from my legs & butt.... so I am going until I get my legs where I want them…

My husband was getting this. He got inserts for his shoes.... he is all better now and staid working out through it. The arch inserts were 5.00 at walmart.

I would keep your goal at 145 & 23% body fat. Its better to aim high and get close then aim at something easy and obtain it. When you start getting down to that weight, you will find the goal that is best for you. Who know's you might want to go lower or higher. In addition, that body fat % is an estimate. You can be 145…

HAH! Funny..

Good luck! You can't choose where you loose that from. Its the first place it goes with me :) Sharing bras with my 10 year old.... OUCH! My 12 year old and 16 year old passed me up years ago :)

38?? Nailrep

You have ALOT of cardio and no weights. You can't do the same thing over and over or your body will get use to it. To take it to the next level, IF that is what you want, drop your calories a little and add some good weight workouts. You won't really bulk up if you are on a deficit anyway however this will push you to the…

^^ This. I only burn 280-290 calories however, I am 5'1 and 108 pounds 17% body fat. My husband would burn around 600 calories on one workout or more. Get a HRM.... you really won't know until then. Also if you message me your e-mail I have a wonderful excel sheet that will help you track everything. Someone with some…

I live in Phoenix... it was 111 yesterday with 30% humidity... I went walking with my 9 month old for 45 min. Was I dripping sweat everywhere... yep. 40 years ago no one had air-conditioning and they survived so I am pretty sure you and I can ;) Just go for it... its the only way you will win is to do it no matter what. Is…

I am gonna try that! That looks like fun!

Just for you!

I was responding to what you wrote me "So it's ok to be afraid of calories and base your diet around that but it's not ok for people to base their diet around health. Can you tell what I think of that or do you need a picture? " Not to what you posted earlier. I don't know why you would want me to respond to what you wrote…

I am sorry if you are offended however there is also fruit... scroll down to the bottom... the very bottom of the post. All sugar isn't evil. Some in moderation is okay. MFP is set way low for most since1 peach will put me over for the day (I manually changed mine). Your right it is good information to have and be mindful…

HAH! Very good writing! That is what I get at work too. The best one is... YOUR EATING THAT MANY CARBS! AHHH or... your gonna eat that twix bar?? You are not going to loose any weight doing that! And it is so unhealthy! AHHH! :) Usually said by a VERY overweight person. Oh and I like my ice cream too and I am keeping it.…

So if I go over on my sugar eating fruits such as the ones discribed will I not be healthy?

They can base their diet around whatever floats their boat, but sugar has nothing to do with weight loss metabolically speaking and sugar that is in fruits like the ones listed is just fine. No one should limit their fruit a day because it will make them go over their sugar as some get freaked out about going over. THAT is…

One you don't know what your talking about and two I am usually over my sugar every day. I eat sugar free maple syrup, which is about the only sugar free thing I eat because it only has 35 calories verses 200 and I only do it once in a while. Same with the cocoa I add to my coffee. The no sugar added is only 60 calories…

HAH! Well I usually never eat them back... maybe every once in a great while I might do some...so you are doing fine! Wonder how much everyone would be down if THEY didn't??? Seems to me that the best bodies are the ones that don't. Well most of the time that is what I have seen anyway.

That was one of the things I was going to mention. When you workout in the morning it will give you energy where you won't need the nap. The more in shape you are, the less you will be tired.

I’ve got 5.....16 girl, 12 girl, 10 girl, 3 boy, and 9 months girl. The three older ones are my stepdaughters... however since they are older they are more work sometimes then the baby! HAH! I have to workout in the morning.... everyone morning. You just HAVE to do it and get it over with or you won't all day long. Walks…

Thanks!!! You too! Yes the weights are nice with p90x but I wasn't seeing much because I needed the cardio too. So I am doing the Insanity now (just switched on Monday).... then maybe a hybrid later like you. Really I got this way on the bodyforlife plan. Easy and free, lots of fitness 101 for a good foundation. Cardio 3x…

HAH! :) I have to get more pics like these for these types of boards. Deficit baby, deficit...... Sugar is not the boogey man!

I am 5'1 and 108 pounds today. I tried the whole eat more thing for a bit and if I eat around 1000-1200 calories a day with an off day on Sunday I have the best results. Just works better for me.

Wow that is insane! Nice job that is crazy!

I had 2 c-sections. The photo below is 7 months post the 2nd c-section. LOTS of diet, cardio, and weights. YOU NEED ALL THREE! Situps won't do it! Okay had to throw my new daughter & son in there... they are just too cute not to!

She isn't wrong... I don't usually eat mine back. For a while I did eat at max half back but that is it. It's a personal choice! Take all of the info in and make the best choice for you! Oh and my energy was through the roof from the morning exercises so I was ok. If u r low on energy u can always add some more carbs into…

Also, know that toning and bulking are WAY different. If you are looking for toning, you won't gain as much muscle as bulking. Toning can be done in a large deficit OR small deficit, OR no deficit. If you want to loose that belly fat and keep about the same weight do a small deficit. Personally when I am loosing weight or…

1.First I would start adding your calories back SLOWLY! Like 100 a week. Your body can freak out if you just go back fast. 2.Also just be aware that even though MY goal weight is 105… I am aiming for about 101-102 range because I know once I stop exercising and eating more my body will naturally weigh a little more because…
