I use this one: http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html#accurate It only takes whole inch measurements, which seems to be it's only real flaw. Fortunately the only measurement that was not at a whole number was my hips at 39.5". I experimented with both rounding it down and rounding it up.…

I was going to share this with my husband and immediately thought better of it *palm smacks forehead*. He already thinks it's ok to pee in the shower drain. The last thing I need is him crapping in the backyard. Come to think of it, I don't want him indiscriminately burying his face in other people's crotches and I think…

But shoving a person in a woodchipper isn't. Hm. I accept your challenge of wacky-boundary-laying and as a mother of a PDD- NOS child who was echolalic and didn't even speak on his own until 4, even >I< still chuckled at this one. So if you are unfamiliar with WTF "ASD", "echolalia", "stimming", "ChildFind" or "IEPs" are,…

38wks preggo with my 3rd; 30lbs gained on a TALL frame 6.5lb baby: 9wks after having my 3rd: And I'll post it again, but for those of you questioning if you need surgery to fix your pooch and your pooch is comprised of loose skin, then the answer is YES. Look, I was 18.95% body fat in my "before" pics and my pooch was just…

(apparently no longer necessary)

Why are you laughing? I said it's not really a joke. But it IS fun :D

Not a joke if going by format, but fun regardless... I like my men like I like my coffee: ground up and in the freezer ;)

Wow... I seriously thought I'd be back in the game this week, but had a total W...T...F... experience this week. As of today, I'm up 4.4lbs from last week. :noway: :sad: Reasoning is as follows... 1.) No, I can't blame ToM, I just finished ovulating in fact. 2.) My net cals/day was 1950 until 9/2, because I was stalling, I…

I'd say 23%. You do have much more lean leg mass than I do. For comparisons sake (all % are calipered): Me @ 26% On June 3rd, I calipered in at 19.8% On July 28th, I calipered in at 18.95% (Obviously, the September 1st pic was after surgery.)

Hit 18.95% bodyfat and got a Mommy Makeover including Tummy Tuck 3 weeks ago (pics in profile - public). My doc always includes a lift of the monis pubis area as well. So I not only got rid of the baby-sag-bag as I called it, but the lady parts are perkier too if what you're talking about is actually the "FUPA", though I…

I started having kids at 19, but I'm happy to show what once I did all that was humanly possible to get in the best shape of my life after having THREE babies in a decade (18.95% bodyfat in before pics) what $13k in Mommy Makeover surgery did now that I'm all done having kids ;)

I wasn't on MFP then, but had two very successful pregnancies as an active-duty Marine. I was within 5lbs of my prepregnancy weight by the time my 6wks maternity leave was up (and in healthy BMI range). I continued to workout with my platoon (all guys) until the 4-5 month mark. Included calisthenics & a 3 mile run at a…

kathield: I'll get you on the next one sweetheart navyjeffrey: I'll get that space outta there soon as I can

Ok... for those listed, please feel free to copy and reuse: I will not be making anymore changes unless ***PM'd*** and it will have to wait a bit until there are enough or at least a month or two has passed. This has taken the better part of my day, so that'll be all for now. Thanks all and goodnight :) (to see the actual…

eates & rufflestx: I'll try to work you both in. I think I've got the background set and the size. Going to try 5 columns with less names to get the text a bit larger and more distinct.

Ok, my laptop is being super-slow, looks like the last 1/8-1/10th is getting cut-off and the names are SUPER SMALL because 60+ lines are needed. It's a work in progress. Will post link once it's presentable.

If I missed you and you've responded to either of the roster threads, my page or messaged me, be reassured you will appear on the final list! Deployed designation is for those currently deployed. Too much to keep track of otherwise. Bad enough there are occasional pissing matches between services, don't need to add in…

Okay astovey, will have you listed under motivated dependents on the final! I lost my edit button for the list posted here already. ***edited to add*** Hoping to see some serious friend requests flying around amongst you all with the help of the roster! Also I'm wondering if it's worth researching to see who all has…

OK, I'm putting together a motivating signature block pic/roster like I'm sure some of you have seen for some of the challenges. The toughest part seems to be picking a background that kinda encompasses all services... I'd prefer something with kinda action-type pics particular to each, or we can over simplify and just…

SGT/USMC/RET (80% Dept of VA rating) 2/00-4/06 5831 & 8563 Now a proud wife to my former SGT/USMC 1833 & 8563 (IT) 1/98-2/06 turned SGT/COARNG ARG 8/08-Present 42A2O & 92Y2O

Oh yeah, please send the "welcome wagon" over here! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/335692-returning-to-the-marine-i-once-was

Great! I'm all about making it easier for us to network! Regular check-ins would also be great & encouraged, though we are all working towards vastly different goals; some of is are all about the scale, some of us are onto body-composition, some are just about inches/appearance/jean-size, some need to work on upping our…

Ok everybody! Whenever I catch someone military introducing themselves etc. I give this thread a reference and a bump because so far we've done a pretty decent job friending each other and supporting one another that way. I'm thinking of moving much of my signature-block to my profile and replacing it with a moto-pic with…

Dependents are welcome there too, so come check it out as well =)

I'm 5'8.5", hubs is somewhere between 6' & 6'1". First relationship I had were both he and I felt comfortable when I was wearing heels around him (I was young then when we met and always self-conscious before.) As much as I love to rock a pair of heels and feel sexy around him, for the most part this summer I'd wear some…

Semper Fi and WELCOME from one former Marine to another! I can totally relate to the guard transition being a shock; I LMFAO at my husband's "gay *kitten* beret" from his first day in the COARNG ARG program until they did away with it recently. The mentality is SOoOo different, I'd swear my husband still nearly has an…

apparently I'm worse, off by 5+ years each guess. Thanks ummlovesyou, you guessed off my bikini-shot, nice to know I have the body of a 25yr old! TakeOne; kudos, dead on for when the face pic was taken last summer :) Haven't seen if you answered yet, but put you in the 24-26 range. Like I said before, I overshot by half a…

Ok, if you're honest and don't scroll back... I've changed pic & siggie so I can really play...
