Is it possible to lose so much body fat in 2 1/2 months?
When I first started working out at LA Fitness over 2 months ago, I did a body fat % and it was 14.4. I checked it again tonight and it was 10.0. I did it at the same time of the evening and prior to eating dinner. I used the machine that you punch in the numbers and then hold it with your arms outstretched. Is it possible…

For helping me understand how many calories I can eat. For helping me understand that I can eat back some, if not all, of my exercise calories. For giving me these forums…

Has Anyone Seen?
I am sure I have seen this commercial a hundred times, but this morning, I am just waking up and the TV is on. It is a commercial for a Windows based phone. I think ATT. And the commercial is showing the APPs on the phone. And, low and behold, one of the APPs was The MYFITNESSPAL App. I thought it was pretty cool.
