Re: Shoulder thanks/Met trainer/ other ramblings

[Guest guest]

So are you going to share the measurements and BF%? Do you have goals?

I'd love to be a partner for you, but I'm at the tail end of week 10 right

now. What do you think?

Sure:

Arm -1 "

Chest -1 "

Waist -2.5 "

Abd -3.5 "

Hips -1.5 "

Thigh -1.75 "

Calf -0

BF 26.6%

Scale weight -3#

Keep in mind that these are by two different people, but this is

from a 2 week span including my horrible eating for a few days while

my daughter was in the hospital. I have a ways to go with the BF,

definitely. But, I feel liking I am really dropping fat fast and I

have some great muscle definition. I am so excited and like someone

else said - Why didn't I do this sooner? (like after my first

challenge)

I'd love to be accountability partners, even for two weeks,

. Or are you planning another challenge after that?

Where did you start out at with BF? Here are a few of my goals:

Less than 20% BF

At least size 6, less would be awesome - currently sometimes 8,

sometimes 10 (why aren't sizes uniform?

Other goals deal with planning meals and workout consistently.

You can email me privately and we can discuss things, if you'd like.

> Competition types are as follows:

>> Fitness: Probably the most difficult. Similar to figure except

there is a fitness routine where certain exercise are mandatory and

you almost have to have a gymnastics background to win.

I've done a bit of research into this in the past couple of

months. I am going to try going into fitness myself. What I've found

is that there seems to be a difference between competitions and what

is required, and what will win.

NPC competitons look for hard bodies and definitely want

gymnastic ability. But Fitness America wants a bit softer look, and

not so much with the gymnastics, though the routines are still

intense dancing, you're not required to do any flips etc. Splits,

high kicks, yes. I'm working on mine!!!

I'll be going for the Fitness America competitions. Some girls do

both, but I don't have a dance/gymnastic background. I'm starting my

dance training next week. A hip hop class and in June private jazz

classes. Hopefully that extra movement combined with BFL will also

help me to loose more BF%. I've got one year. I think I can do it!
