32.5" - Ive lost 2 inches since starting MPF 2 & half months ago. Really want to get it down to 31". My belly is where all my weight goes - Im an apple shape. Its horrible - I wear clothes to hide it & when I sit down I out a cushion over it. I know its the worst place to carry weight in terms of health.

Those of you doing the 30 day shred - what all equipment do you need to do it? I go to the gym 4/5 times a week but would like a hardcore dvd to do at home sometimes as well - its only 20 mins isnt it?

I think between 20 & 30% is acceptable for a woman. I want mine down to between 20 & 25% For visable abs I think your body fat % needs to be between 10 & 13% Men body fat % is lower than a womans - our breasts, hips etc all add to ours.

I weigh approx once every 3 weeks & try to avoid the week before / week Im on my period. EG I weighed last week &had a loss, weighed this week & was the same. But then I measured my waist and Ive lost 2.5 inches since starting MFP (65 days ago). So while weight is important, take your measurements. Knowing i'd lost inches…

The way I see it you can overeat on anything - healthy and unhealthy. I too have been shocked by my sugar content - my sugar comes from fruit, oar bars & some small packets of yogurt coated fruit. So Ive been cutting down on my fruit - limit it to 2 portions a day. I have one in the morning in my prtein shake smoothie then…

Definately a diet protein powder. Helps your muscles to repair after a workout meaning less pain the next day (hopefully!). I use PHD diet whey - contains CLA & green tea which helps fat loss and also flaxseed so its 'bitty' - I blend mine into a fruit smoothie with ice, banana / strawberries / bluberries, greek yogurt & a…

I have a protein smoothie every morning for breakfast: 2 scoops PHD diet strawberry protein powder chopped banana OR handful strawberries OR handful bluberries 2 tsp greek yogurt 5 ice cubes 1 pint water This fills me until lunch - I just have a couple of cups of green tea inbetween.

My guess would be no - they have such high levels of protein. IE taking 2 shakes a day with healthy dinners I am over my recommended protein intake through MFP. I can only imagine for a child the recommended protein allowance would be a lot less. Maybe half a portion once a week or something as a treat.
