8.5" :laugh:

Bravo, Gym Bully! People need to have common courtesy in the gym. It is really annoying to have to wipe a machine off because the dude before grunted and sweated for 40 minutes, then walked away or has 3 45 lb plates on bench press bar. I get some folks lift that, but not me. RACK EM!

This is so funny. My girlfriend just told me about these and I ran out to GNC at lunch to get some. Cannot wait to try them. She swears by them!

I prefer to run half marathons because they are easier to train for. Half Marathon: 1:47 was my best time. My average time is 1:55. I run 14-17 miles every Sunday with a pace of 9:55. I run about 30-35 miles a week.

Super cool!

I am going to agree here. 24% is on the higher end. 12-14% for healthy menstration. 26% body fat is overweight. Not sure about your training. I would double check those numbers.

I have been juicing once a day since January 10th. I am doing it just to get nutrients and try to clear up my skin a little. I have not lost any weight, but I am not trying to use it to lose weight, just trying to be HEALTHY. I got my cheap juicer from Target. Works great and worth the money. Juice on, Folks!

You look fantastic!

I have been running for about 20 years. I can never EVER under any circumstance run on a treadmill. It is so hard and boring. Running outside gives you time to breathe, think, see the sites, try different paths, hills, flat, city, country, trails, cement. A treatmill is for rats. Bleh :) I can tolerate an elliptical for…

33 lbs since January 2011. I lost it in chunks. 15 lbs in 4 months, then maintained for a while, 10 lbs in 2 months, maintained for a while, etc. I don't need to lose any more weight. I wouldn't mind, but really, I am maintaining and building muscle.

You look fantastic!!!

Just googled Renee Toney. Really that is a female? Wow. I just see zero 'feminine' qualities in her physical appearance.

After reading a post on here a few months ago, I got The New Rules for Weight Lifting for Women. Now I lift heavy and hard 3 days a week. I lost an additional pound (on maintenance) and feel great. I have more definition with less fat. I have to say I am not bulky in any way, but I look and feel BETTER!

I log my time under circuit training. It will depend on how hard you lift. I get a great work out lifting. I do not rest between sets and I do super sets and am out of breathe and sweating badly when I finish my 25-30 minutes of lifting. It is strenous and a cardio burn. But I work HARD at it. I do not waste any time. If…

I love The Rock!

I have had 4 babies, all by c-section. I have that hangover pouch that will never go away. I am below my pre-pre-pre-pre-pregnancy weight. There is no fat in that area, just the extra skin from stretching so many times. I am okay with it (most of the time), but it would be nice to have it removed - then add a breast…

This is what I do. My 'long' run are between 14-19 miles. If I decide to run a race, I am pretty much ready, give or take a week or two.

I have run the SF Marathon (front half and back half) numerous times, the Kaiser Permanente more times than I can count. It would be nice to get out of the City and run a race. Potentially flatter???

I may look into this!! The weather should be perfect in Marin. I have been looking for a fun half marathon to do. Have you run this before?

I feel ya. I hurt my toe running a few weeks ago and kept running on it. Now I can't run for several days - maybe I can run Friday. ARG! Not a good week.

I'm 5'9 3/4". I weigh 149-151 depending on the day. I wear an 8. Medium shirts. I would like to get to 145, but not sure. After 4 kids, it may just not work. I like wearing an 8. Totally comfortable with that.

Damn, that is awesome!

I love pumpkin!

I stopped watching last season due to Conda. I have no idea who even won ;( I am looking forward to Jillian coming back. I was hoping it would be back this month, but January will be here before we know it!

I used to weigh in every Sunday. I am maintaining right now. I got on the scale yesterday, the first time since June. I was down over a pound. Each person is different. If I start weighing myself too often, I get really caught up on the number and it stresses me out. Once a week seems like a nice balance and then for…

5'9.5" 151 lbs waist 27.75 hip 38.5 bust - not sure thighs 23 calves 13 (l) and 14 (r) I would like to whittle down to: waist 26 hips 36 thighs 21

I will whole-heartedly disagree. Maybe for a few lucky women. After nursing 4 kids, my body will never ever be better. I would need a boob job and have my skin stretched and removed. I am not complaining, I am stating a fact.

Mine will never be the same either. Between nursing 4 kids for over a year each, then the weight gain and loss of each baby. C-section scar. But, I have to realize that I am no longer 28, I am 38. Bodies change. I just wish my skin had better elasticity. Oh well, a girl can dream and I am fit and healthy.

I have a monthly goal. It was 100 miles, then I upped it to 150 miles, I think I will lower it this month to 125 miles. 150 was a bit hard on my body (woman issues and that sort). I have a love/hate relationship with running. I love it, I get jealous when I hear or see people running and I am not. I have great runs and bad…
