Body Fat Calculators and Hip Measurement

I naturally have wide hips and I am wondering if that is skewing my numbers somewhat. Or if I am perhaps measuring in the wrong spot. It states to take your hip measurement at the widest part of your hips.…

Hibachi
We are going to a Hibachi restaurant on Friday. Their website doesn't have calorie counts for their food, but I'm thinking it isn't all that bad is it? I mean it's chicken, veggies, and rice. I know the sodium content is probably up there, but calorie wise how high do you think it is? And if you think it's high, any…

Goal is weight loss and also would like to firm things…

I didn't exercise the remainder of 2011 as I was recovering and dealing with life without a thyroid. I exercised off and on in 2012 and kind of watched what I ate, but fell off…
