But... down 2.5 pounds! Yippee :drinker: ! Monday weight, 135.3. A good week and I should see a bit more drop. Best wishes…

Monday weigh-in I was up 4.5 pounds!! I did not pig-out but I certainly did not count calories. Exercise went out the window with 7-8 extra people living in the house since Tuesday night. At least this answers the question of what happens when I I stop paying attention. I do not believe that I consumed an extra 15,750…

Celtic, :flowerforyou: You might continue weighing enough to keep that sense of security but only enter your weight once a week. Many of your posts reflect your frustration with the weight flucuation. I would guess you would see much less with recording the weight on a certain day at a certain time. I'll bet you know your…

Hardly believe there is unless another point is brought up! :happy: Keep studying all the good information out there littleraindancers :flowerforyou: There is indeed a proper and healthy way for you to be successful!!

Agave is sugar from the agave plant (agave is also the source for tequila) :happy: From http://allaboutagave.com/agave-vs-granular.php "Agave makes a good substitute for sugar for a variety of reasons. Agave nectar is a real sugar, as opposed to an artificial or non-nutritive sweetener. It has properties similar to many…

Favorite: Republic of Tea - Kiwi Pear, Green Tea Best for craving something a little richer: Hot Skim milk with Chai tea (regular or decaf) and agave nectar Lots of great Holiday teas from Celestial Seasons Not a fan of cinnamon flavors

I bet you have to have Excel to open it. I think everyone can use their own measurements for BF as long as they stick with the same measuring device whether it is one of these charts or calipers or a scale etc. The link you have works for me, it just was a little meaner to me :tongue: I guess I just have to face the facts.…

Me too! Thanks!

Mjheinrich's :flowerforyou: I am in NW Indiana just a little over an hour from Chicago. I am really getting on the Body Fat Bandwagon and am seeing how many calories I can use and still maintain. So increasing calories slowly. This requires patience. Not always big in that department!!.

I found a measurement calculator on-line that connects to a spreadsheet for calculations. I liked this one because it used weight/ waist at the belly button/ wrist/ hip/ and forearm on a site by Dave Draper. The link is www.davedraper.com/body-fat-calculator.xls It was easy to enter my numbers and the measurements are easy…

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? - nope - entertained company and myself with food! :wink: Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? except for the calories. What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? For entertaining I did pretty well. 2 glasses of wine, lots of water and kept away from the snacks decently What…

Are you planning to use Army or Marine calculations? the Marines were SO much nicer to me! :laugh: My BF calculated much higher than I thought it would! 23.65 by the Marines and 27.65 by the Army. Also, everything had to be entered in whole numbers. BIG difference between a 6 or 6.3 wrist I would think. You know I don't…
