Day 47 of Jillian Michaels -pics
I finished 30 Day shred and just finished day 17 of extreme shed and shred. My Boflex scale says I have 19.2% body fat (how accurate? I have no idea) The bottom right and the top right puxs are both day 17 of each program. And yes, I took rest days :)

How do you know when you are at the 'perfect' weight?
I am 44 years old - 5'2" and currently #131 . According to my Boflex scale I am at 17.4% body fat. It hasn't gone above 18% body fat in months. I did Insanity for about 10-11 weeks and am on week 6 of Focus T25. The scale has fluctuated 1-3# up or down in the last 3 months. Nothing significant. Is it possible that I am at…

a must read - everyone - forward head position
I have been suffering for about a week with neck/upper back/shoulder pain. I have also had other ailments throughout the year that causes me to not be able to workout for about a week. My cousin was telling me about forward head position (slouching) and the problems she has had for 10 years. She was diagnosed with…

NVS - in the shower
My ring fell off. LOL - actually, I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring in over a year because it's too big. I have been wearing my husband's because of his work, he can't wear his ring during the week. I had to move it to my middle finger about 6 months ago. Now it has to be on my pointer finger or it falls off.…

Is your 'goal' a number or a look?
I am thinking about reevaluating my goal. My original goal was #127 with an ultimate goal of #124. However, after doing Jillian Michael's and starting insanity, I realized that my weight is more than it was when I was at my lowest, but my clothes fit better than they did back then --- must have been that 'skinny fat' thing…

question about calories
I have a bowflex scale that tells me water weight, body fat %, bmr, bone density, etc. According to my scale, at my current weight 2142 calories are needed to maintain my weight. MFP has me at 1200 (1700 with my built in deficit) Of course, on days I don't work out, I eat closer to 1200 - isn't this actually a 900 calorie…

Thoughts - exercise calories are 'meaningless'?
http://www.coachcalorie.com/calories-burned-during-exercise-meaningless/ When I think I understand, then I read things like this. I've been gaining and losing the same 3# for 3 months now. I have been eating back my exercise calories. I'm wondering if I should just forget about the calories I burn and eat my TDEE - 10%…

BMI - how much do you depend on your BMI #
My BMI at 5'2" is 25.29 putting me at 'overweight'. I wear a size 0-4 jeans depending on the brand. My picture from this morning- Do you think the BMI is a good indication of a healthy weight? I know I have a muffin - top I'm working on it, but what do you think about the standards for the BMI?

Exercises to increase butt?
After losing almost 30# and just finishing up 30 day shred, my butt is gone. I have no butt! It even hurts to sit because it's so bony. WTH? I was doing Russian twists and I had to use a pillow because it hurt to sit on the floor. Are there any exercises to increase the gluteus Maximus???

do you do anything other than 30DS?
I have been doing The Wii Biggest Loser Challenge, Wii Gold's Gym Cardio Workout and some random workout videos on Youtube. Honestly, I just feel that 30DS is not enough exercise for me. I guess I want it NOW :) Although the last time I did lose a lot of weight it did 'only' take 3 months.

how heavy are your hand weights?
I was using 3# and my friend convinced me to get 5# because the workout will be so much harder. I don't know. I was going to do my 3rd day of level 2, but couldn't bring myself to pick up those damn weights. I walked around Walmart with them and a gallon of milk and thought I was going to die!

Natalie cheats!
Love the 30DS workout so far. BUT - has anyone noticed (and I'm on level 2) Natalie cheats? When Jillian isn't looking, she does the easier version of some of the exercises, and in level 1 she stops doing the lungtes with the bicep curls and only does the bicep curls. in level 2 she actually got up from her squat. You…

TDEE & MFP settings question
I used the TDEE calculator on the scooby workshop site and let's say my TDEE is 2000, my BMR is 1350 and my caloric needs according to my activity level is 1490. Do I change my MFP to 1490 and sedentary and NOT log my exercise? Or do i leave it 1200 set my activity level to 3-5 days week and eat back my exercise calories?…

Have your goals changed?
I started out with a goal of 20#. In my mind (and I've been pretty lazy for the last 20+ years - I can admit) - 20# was a far reach. I started out by walking. My sister and I would walk 4 miles 3 times a week. There are 2 hills on our walk that were killers. I was also pushing my 2 year old in her stroller, so going up the…

Belt NSV :)
I had to cut off 7" off of my belt because it went ½ way around my back. I guess it's time to buy some new ones

weight loss and feeling cold
I have lost a little over 18% of my body weight and find that I often feel cold. It was 74° outside yesterday and I had to have a hoodie on. I work in a restaurant and the kitchen was probably around 95° and people were complaining about the 'heat', but I was comfortable. Does this have to do with losing the fat????

I started at 162# and am down to about 131# - I am 5'3" I have finally reached 30# of weight loss in only 4 short months. I got off of my butt and started moving. It REALLY does work! The July 2, 2010 photo was from a family reunion last year. I thought I looked GOOD! When my sister tagged me in that photo, I was so…

when do you go into maintenance?
Once you reach your goal - how long do you continue to eat the suggested caloric intake for weight loss? Once I reach my goal, do I up my calories to a maintenance level?

16+ gone - before/after pic
Actually - I have lost 20# if I go by when I was at my highest and decided to start 'dieting' - but went about it all wrong - I have lost 16.6# using MFP -- which has been so easy. I can't believe this app is free!!!! The shorts I was wearing in the before picture - and what they look like today sorry, I couldn't figure…
