Yesterday's stats: Sugar Goal 68g Sugar Consumed 38g Emotions were running high.

Sugar is a component of most foods. I'm not sure what you mean about the sugar goal not being meticulous. Maybe your thinking of some other word? My assumption is that MFP generates nutrient goals like sugar and sodium based on macros and overall calorie goals. If that is true, it's a reasonable goal to set for myself. I'm…

Sugar Goal 65g Sugar Consumed 62g Had a hard time getting to sleep last night, but felt good today. My hungry feelings didn't have that "out of control" aspect I'm used to.

Sugar Goal 69g Sugar Consumed 62g Had candy this morning which is what inspired my challenge, so I'm still counting it a win. Emotions were running high and had a stomach ache today, but that could have been the breakfast candy. All the more reason to stick to my goal.

Do it!

I found it helped a lot to examine why I want my body to change and to get really specific with my goals. Before, I just had this really nebulous idea of how wonderful and hot I would be when I got down to my goal weight, and a lot of the positive feelings I was looking forward to once I got there were based on validation…

Hi, BJC78. I'm currently getting going with Body by You. It's a body weight lifting program which I chose because I don't have the $ to spend on a gym membership or equipment, but REALLY want to lift to get my body composition where I want it. If the book is to be believed I'll get better results doing it this way. We…

I would suggest forming a plan with your Dr.

Excellent! It's going great. I look forward to my wrists being more comfortable with the push-ups and my hands tolerating the edge of the table a little better. I'm only a little sore; it's totally manageable.

What a thoughtless thing to say. 1400 is reasonable and you could probably even go higher.

The 30 Day Shred was good for just getting into exercising. My arms and waist showed pretty good improvement. Ripped in 30 progresses rapidly. Super challenging, but more interesting because you only do each level for a week. 6 week 6 pack I threw in while I was doing the other videos to keep from getting bored. It had a…

le sigh. It's so smooth!

You look amazing in both pics, really. Way to go!

Der. The app has a warm up and cool down (dynamic pre and static post stretching).

Good luck!

Oh, that's a good idea. I've done a few of their HIIT vids before.

[/quote]Do dynamic stretching for warm ups. Don't really need to cool down (with the exception of elite athletes, no study shows it necessary), but it's a great time to increase flexibility with static stretching.[/quote] Thanks. I'll give it a go!

Yum!

Thanks! Yoga sounds like a great cool down idea. The twerking and getting goofy probably won't work for me though. I'm pretty brain dead at 5 AM and need something more structured if I'm going to make it.

I'm not sure what happened really. The first DL as an Excel file failed so I went with an ODS file. That might've been the problem. It just didn't update all of my info and was combining it with the data already input, throwing all the results way off. I junked it and the next time I DL'd as Excel I had no trouble.

Never mind. I downloaded the spreadsheet again and now the fields are updating properly.

Thank you for the wonderful spreadsheet. I'm confused about the LBM and FM results: Are these in lbs? My results give me 128.3 LBM and 106.7 FM, but my current weight is only 145 lbs. Can someone please explain these figures to me?

Well, that's pretty awesome. Thanks so much!

I see, do you happen to have a link? I was using the one on the fat2fitradio website.

5'6" 145 lbs Bust: 37" Waist: 28.5" Belly button: 30" Hips: 37" Usually a 6 in jeans, but that's at the Gap and I know they're pretty generous.
