  • BMI calcs can be completely off -- what doesn't seem right I"m 5'3" with a BF of 21% and a weight of 140# Although BMI can be used for most men and women, it does have some limits: It may overestimate body fat in athletes and others who have a muscular build. It may underestimate body fat in older persons and others who…
  • most women do chest to ground obvi :) You don't have to do them slow but you should at least hit chest to ground. You want to make sure you have full range of motion before you progress. So anyone who can't go all the way down should go to their knees to ensure full range of motion until they can do them off their toes…

  • ALL FOR THIS RESPONSE!
  • got you After losing weight 2012
  • i would take a week off as well...the de-load....after that you should come back with new PRs
  • most of the time a lack of being able to squat low and going on your toes in a lack of flexibility in your hips start stretching by holding onto a pole or something solid based to the ground and sit back in you heels and use elbows to push knees out and stretch those hip flexors...do it daily also def start with body…

  • Your changing your calories every single week and expecting to see the change. You need to go longer than a week for you to create an accurate account of what your body will be doing on a certain number of calories. You havent changed much in weight from when you started to now so clearly you can eat more calories. Try to…
  • to lose weight you need to eat in a defecit....change your diet and watch the pounds fall off. you don't need to exercise necessarily. Go for a walk with child if needed
  • peanut butter is a waste of time for trying to add in protein. it's high calories and not a lot of protein. Replace it with a filet of chicken or pork tenderloin, lean ground beef, fish
  • you must go to boot camp
  • We were all waiting for this...... there is nothing wrong with liking to work out - stop taking "addicting" so literal When you "like" and "enjoy" something you want to stay with it.....most reasons people also get married to someone...date...swim...marathons...tough mudders...sports.... people join CF for the workouts and…
  • It seems as though you want to focus more on lowering your body fat % than anything. Start lifting more weights (you don't have to give up cardio) increase your protein intake, and I would slow the alcohol down. Cut it to 1 or maybe 2 nights a week if you can. Not sure how you are drinking now but seems you binge when you…
  • you seem to be doing just fine Tuesday and thursday when you don't have class - maybe take a different class? Do a groupon of yoga or rock climbing. That way you can switch it up every couple of weeks. Have you husband join you for exercise on the weekends - hit the trails, rock climbing, walking dogs, jogs, hikes,…
  • 28 -- eeks :) nooooooo lil mini-me's PHEW! no offense to those who do
  • hahaha Hellll yeah -- ice cream sammies are the tits everyone's always on a diet though we just use the word as much as possible to pertain to the "deliberate selection of food" rather than what it original was which is the consumption of everything you eat no matter what it is I eat cause I like it
  • If you go paleo you have to count your calories as well -- the biggest mistake people make is not counting calories and they wonder why they gained weight
  • it's very accurate -- ones you buy in a store the burger alone is around 300 cals you don't know what the leaness of the meat is so yes - and cheese is loaded with calories and so are those buns
  • I dont get spotted - I drop that ****! boom! hahahaha

  • Actually you can tell a lot by taking the free class. You can learn what the trainers are like, how much they pay attention, how well they teach forms and lifts. Of course they are geared toward beginners because most do not know how to lift properly. Also, you can inquire with those other members that have been there for…

  • so don't eat -- i don't have breakfast all the time -- and I go straight to late morning snack or lunch
  • test them out for a little bit longer and see how it goes...if not have your eye doc give you a different brand because they shouldnt bother you too much or irritate. Are they turning red? what kind you have? but the switch will probably make you a little moody. I wear contacts all the time. If I wear my glasses one day…
  • I feel like you and me are in the same boat with goals Cutting out processed carbs - going paleo has completely re jumpstarted my weight loss. Dont stare at the grams too hard just be more conscious what you eat. NO bagels, breads, cereals. Those crushed me
  • FYI I do no long distance cardio running
  • depending on your fitness level and how well you want to do will determine the training that you need. Also, some event locations are harder then others. I strongly agree with Apollo on a lot of things. First things First: 1.) It's mind over matter - this "challenge" is super mental and you need to believe you can finish…
  • hey Hey, I'm 5'3" was 151 and about 140 right now I am set to eat 1510 calories a day and I Crossfit almost 6 days a week. I had to increase my cals because of body fat percentage drop so I was burning more daily. I eat close to 2000. Try increasing your cals -- you will maintain then you'll see a drop but yet it will be…
