I just want to say that I hate "studies" like this. The article doesnt say where the health prof teaches, who his collegues are, what the goal of the study was, who their control group was, what they mean by "risk of death"...etc etc

Way to go! You can definitely see it in the thigh area! Are you measuring? I'll bet you took a couple inches off your waist and thighs!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR RESPONSES! Your advice, concerns, compliments, and general input it greatly appreciated! I've never been this small so I'm not sure what my Final Goal is yet. I think being healthy and passing my biometric screening next year will be enough. I think I may also incorporate some fitness goals…

You guys are so kind, I was VERY, VERY nervous after I hit the send button. I went to have my biometric screening done and the nurse told me to be careful and to really watch my weight, that was about 15lbs and 6 months ago...Now to tone up!

omg I didn't even think of that. LOL, now thats all I see! Creepy! I'm at work and was in a hurry not to get caught....

Thank you for the replys. The apps on my phone tell me my bf% is around 23-24% (using weight, height, and my 30in waist), and my BMI is around 23. These numbers may seem small but remember, I'm close to little person height....

Paulaviki- You have such pretty bone structure and eyes, you should do makeup ads! I do think toning up is a must, I feel floppy...thanks for replying!

I'm just over 5ft, 125-127 currently. I'd like to be 110 Add me if you like!

oh hell yeah, you guys know...

Nashua, right over the border!

Holy Cr@p 92lbs lost! I'd be stupid not to friend request you! Way to go!

Potatoes are poisonous when raw and consumed in large quantities. I really hope the rest are good for you, I eat raw broccoli./spinach/carrots all the time!

You care too much, and I mean that kindly. Your co-worker needs a Jillian. It must suck sitting next to someone who shows you her open pants. That made me giggle

Diet booze sounds creepy to me.

Woohoo, my brand is wild-caught, not farm raised, according to the webite's FAQs. Thank you thank you thank you! Your opinions and comments are very interesting!

Livestrong is crap, I can't believe I paid for it when MFP was here all along!

One serving has 25% of your iron! Well, raw pumpkin seeds do anyway. It's sooooo worth the calories!

Thanks! That was what I was thinking. It's been run through a factory, disinfected, and sealed for years of freshness....can't be "clean" lol No stress here. I love the stuff and buy it in bulk :) I just think too much. Thanks for your respose!

Don't close your diary and we might be able to assist

My first thought was Fatty Tuna (Toro) http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=fatty+tuna&view=detail&id=855177B07C321F060ABF2D9C56AAD73A534F75A7&first=1 or http://cannundrum.blogspot.com/2009/09/fatty-tuna-sashimi.html

If you've hit a plateau, try breaking up your three meals into 5-6 meals.

It sounds stupid, but my non-scale goal is to be lean enough to see my armpit, you know, slightly concaved when you put your hand on your hips... not just fat rolls. Another goal of mine is to wear shorts without them riding up my crotch because my thighs bang together and force my shorts upwards. gross...sorry...

I've been proactively thinking about how to overcome plateaus. I havent reached one yet but I just dropped a nice chunk of weight and I can feel the weght loss tapering off... I'm waiting for a plateau before starting the 30 day shred, and I may try a weekend juice diet if I plateau a second time.

DITTO! BUMP to remind me later!

My Fiance and I are losing weight together. It's wonderful to have someone to walk/jog/bike with. He's much stronger at resisting temptation than me so it's also nice to have an actual person ask me if I'm "really going to eat that crap". He keeps me going, and he even suggested a juice fast! God I love him!

I live in a large city and walk all the time. I try for at least 5miles a day (broken out between prework, lunch, and after work). I've been doinig this for years. I keep my activity level at Sedatary and log all my walking. I just like to see that I've done something though. Logging the walks feels nice!

bump for later.

Try putting one of your scales in the exact spot your other scale is currently in, and try again. Maybe the floor is warping the readings....I can't keep a scale in my basement bathroom because the floor is slightly uneven, maybe you have a similar situation?

Great info! Love the zombie analogy!
