Thanks. :) I never thought to do it during his nap (duh! Lol). His idea of "helping" me, is when I am doing pushups, he'll get down in front of me on his hands and knees and try to look up at me and mom!mom!mom! me, and I have to pause from laughing. Or if I try donkey kicks, he'll do circles around me. ..So maybe I won't…

"That body's not going to build itself" "When you spend all of your today's planning your tomorrows, you find that all you are left with is a bunch of empty yesterday's" "The burn is just your body getting stronger"

:) Just to be clear (in case) It's my first thanksgiving on mfp, I wasn't trying to be snarky, just genuinely wondered. But I read the other thread too. So I won't worry about it either, and just eat :)

Lol, yeah, I read it, I just didn't understand.

I'm confused... Nobody is trying to eat at goal today? Because it's one of two "treat" days a year? I'm afraid I'm developing a food phobia, and I was planning to eat as little as I could to stay in goal lol. It would be nice to not think about what I am mindlessly eating for the day.... Hmm

I'm 5'2. My highest weight was 134 in highschool, and after my first baby, I guess metabolism kicked in and I went down to 113. I've stayed there for 13 years with the exception of unintentionally going down to 102, but with no muscle I looked gross. Now, I'm back at 113, and all my fat is in my hips, butt, and belly.…

Hmm, I get mostly flushed too. But a lifetime ago, there was a LOT of cardio, and water, and it was the first time I found out sweat could pour off me.

Ok thanks :)

*of was not supposed to be there, but my phone won't let me edit.

My relative constantly tells me I don't need to lose weight... Or other comments when she sees something I buy that's fat free, etc. I just keep telling her I'm not trying to lose weight, I'm trying to get strong.

Ha, didn't realize it was an old thread.

Hi, I'm looking for some mfp friends too :) I'm fairly new (sort of, lol). Feel free to add me. I would send requests, but I'm still trying to figure out how to do that via mobile..

Ok. Thanks :)

I've been working out an hour or so after dinner. Today, I made the mistake of working out right before dinner, and I hadn't had much lunch. About 20 minutes later my sugar crashed and I think I made my workout worthless when I ate dinner. But I have hypoglycemia, so maybe eating beforehand would be good in my situation. I…

I did day 3 of level 1 today. It's definitely getting easier, but I think I screwed up the tendon in my elbow.

Grr. My post got eaten.

Thanks

The first time I did this a few months ago, I don't think I made it past the third day because I could hardly move. But I've been contemplating dusting it off again. If I did it every other day, what should I do on the off days? My regular strength, or yoga?

Yeah, I'm probably on the lower end of that, because he is older.

This is why I'd like to be around 22% to 24%. I know what I would be happy with as far as what I want my body to look like, which basically is firmer. I'm squishy. But somehow in the last 4 months or so since I last took measurements, I've lost 2 inches in my waist and an inch in my hips. That couldn't happen in a week…

Lean mass is muscle weight, right? I would like to increase that. I know it's entirely inaccurate, but the calculator, based on my measurements said I am 32% bf, which seemed a bit high to me. Then I saw an article that said for them, it was about 5 off for them based on the caliper test. So that's how I unscientifically…

By fit, I mean muscle definition basically. A healthy bf%. Not just slim. For instance, if I'm 27% bf at 113 lbs, what might I weigh at 24%? Is that even possible to estimate? . I'm looking for a weight to shoot for, whether it ends up more than what I currently weigh, or lower. I guess I'll just stick with body…

I think I am somewhere between 27 and 32%...Probably closer to 27. I'd like to get between 22 and 24.

What I mean is, as I understand it, the 104 weight is just a low fat weight, not factoring in muscle...

I started because I got tired of complaining about my jiggle but never doing anything about it. I have never had a flat stomach. Strong legs and arms, yes.. But flabby hips and belly. I'd look at fit chicks and wish I looked like them. Then I saw a motivational pic that said "that body isn't going to build itself", and it…

Wow, so amazing. I've been scouring before and after pics, but nobody has a similar body before, lol. I want an idea what I might look like. But I have set a goal to keep it up for 90 days before I decide to quit. I'm not patient at all lol. But this body isn't going to build itself. I can't wait to take after pics!

Ok, thanks. I was thinking about eating breakfast and lunch, and then eat a bunch of snacks like fruit and /or yogurt in between if I get hungry. I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't hurt my workouts. I am currently doing my strength in the evening, which works well so far because it's a great stress reliever and tires…

*with is

That sounds good. I want to do strength more than 3 times a week, so that might work. I think I am going to get addicted.

Thanks
