I am having mine done today, and also will find it interesting to have my own numbers. I had the body fat testing done last week. These are offered at the wellness center that is run by my employer (a hospital) and the tests are given to anyone who wants them for a nominal fee. The fee includes consultation with a trainer…

I had the Bod Pod done yesterday. It was a simple and not very expensive test. Iwill be doing the RMR next week (tried yesterday but apparently I dont breath deep enough when relaxed lol). I am also going to re-try the anebolic fitness test, also couldnt complete that one for some reason. I reached my weight loss goal…

When I celebrate a special occasion or an evening out, I drink flavored vodka with sparkling water, a splash of juice and a twist of lime. If I go somewhere where I can take my own mixers I usually use Crystal Light. For a real festivity, I make jello shots with sugar free jello. I rarely drink beer anymore but when I do…

I am in a similar situation, but I do belong to a wellness center through my work with allows me access to some machines. I started on MFP 6 months ago, and what was once a weight loss journey has now become about looking and feeling better. I am 50yrs young, and have a full time desk job. What I am doing currently is full…

I know sometimes the docs will take out the rod but after all these years of the bones growing around it, I cant…

I eat before I leave for the gym at 4:30am but I have a 20 minute ride. Then I stretch and either lift weights or elliptical for 45 minutes. I have carbs and proteins like whole wheat toast with peanut butter or fruit and oatmeal- but small portions.

I have been following the carb cycling by Chris Powell for 2 months. I decided to try it because of years of unsuccessful yo yo dieting I thought maybe it would help jumpstart my metabolism. I did modify it slightly because I have a few diet allergies, and really feel milk, beans and fruit are not evil. On low carb days I…

I started the Carb Cycling program about 2 months ago. Being a picky eater with a few food allergies, I modified it for my own personal preferences. I still eat fruit, but only fresh and on the low carb days I only eat it with breakfast. This is the reference chart I use. Calorie( per fruit or the portion stated) then…
