BMR not BMI

This is my goal too. I have about 125 lbs lean body mass and 31.4 BF%. I was at around 130lean body mass and 43.5% body fat. I want to get to 154lbs which puts me at 124lbs lean body mass and 20% BF% then I will reevaluate and try to get closer to 151 lbs and 18% BF%.

I like doing it in spreadsheet form. I like to see the total lost at the end.

I have a Polar as well and really like it. Is there a schedule somewhere for the SlimDown? I have 30 day shred and extreme shred and shed as well as the bfbm. I might alternate between them.

Hi all I'm in. I have a spreadsheet that I did for another group. I could post a link here and we can use that to track our information. Let me know if you'd be interested in a spreadsheet

I'm in! I have a bunch of her DVDs I want to do.

I'm doing it so I can go to the field run the track and say F#$@ you b%&%$@# to all them that talked behind my back about me when I was new in town and didn't know any of them. I also want to run a half marathon to raise money for Crohn's Research since my son has Crohn's I want him to see me do it for him.

squats & lunges will give you a nice lifted butt.

HI I'm Ivette, SW 233 CW 181 GW 154 Losing 20 will put me really close! Let's do this. Do you want to maybe make a Google document where people can enter their current weights?

I'll do it. 181 this morning.

Squats and lunges will lift your butt. Or check out Brazilian Butt Lift I have seen some great before and afters from that

Congrats! Great loss for a month.

If you are 200 calories under goal you are not eating enough. You need to eat your calorie goal and your exercise calories.

Have you tried this site? http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ It is supposed to tell you how much to eat to lose fat and not lean body mass. Everyone says you need protein to build muscle. I have upped my protein a lot recently and it is affecting my kidneys. I have in the last week cut all animal protein from my diet…

IMO If he says he tries and you think he is not trying then it might be time for a talk, not an in his face, "Why don't you want me?!" talk but a "Baby you know I love it when you..." so he knows. Guys sometimes need to be told exactly what to do. It's like that in lots of things. Sometimes they need you to draw them a…

I always dress up for dates, do my hair wear some extra makeup that sort of thing and if you are going out to a nice restaurant and dancing you want to look your best but still look like you. Maybe she can do your hair and give you some makeup without turning you into her. Tell her no fake nails or eyelashes or a ton of…

Spanx under the running pants or compression pants. It's the only way.

Just ask him. It always helps to just come out with it.

Try adding some strength training in to your workouts. It'll help strengthen your muscles and lose that fat that is making the pouch. You might still have loose skin but it should go down. At least that is my plan when I get to where you are. Congrats on losing all tat weight you have done great!

Definitely a 10

That's my hubby too. Then he gets all depressed because he isn't losing and eats more.

I'm experimenting with a vegan lifestyle right now. It's hard. I am craving stuff. I just started this on Monday. I anticipate having to add eggs and milk soon. I did have milk today. We'll see how it goes. I was already doing a semi vegetarian diet only having fish and chicken, milk and eggs. The animal proteins are…

You look fantastic!

Are you eating enough to fuel your workouts? My guess would be that it could have something to do with that. Check and see what your recommended calorie intake is. Try to find your body fat % here http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/mbf/ then find your BMR and recommend calorie intake according to your activity here…

I usually have an eggbeaters omelet with 3 eggs turkey bacon onion pepper and a slice of non fat cheese and a bowl of cream of wheat or oatmeal.

I read you have kids so you have to cook stuff he will eat. Check out skinnytaste.com. They have great recipes. Even one for chicken nuggets that my kids love. They eat what I make from that site without any problems. Start off small by substituting small things they eat for healthier stuff before you know it they will be…

Sure you can do it your deficit for weight loss just has to stay the same for a week so as long as you still have a deficit at the end of the week you are good. Just don't go too far under just to have enough to eat or drink on the weekend. It is called zigzagging. Google it. There is lots of info online.

I think as long as your focus is on being healthy and strong and not on being skinny and the focus is not on fat then they learn that the important part is to be healthy and strong. Healthy is strong is what I want my kids to be. I take my 11 yr old out running with me. We started C25K this week. He likes it. It will help…

You might not be eating enough or possibly too much. Go here find your BF% http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/mbf/ Then go here http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bmr/ and find out how many calories your BMR is and then look at the chart and see how many calories you should be eating for your activity level. you do not have…

The Fat2Fit site is fantastic. You need to know your body fat % and the military is most accurate so you can figure that out here http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/mbf/ Also they have this cool feature that will help you find your ideal weight based on your lean body mass since the goal is to lose body fat not lean body…
