Re: My full Fitness Profile and then questions...

[Guest guest]

That's FABULOUS Jules! You have motivated me to go and get my

measurements done... I didn't take any at the start (didn't want to

know), and now I'm 4 weeks in - another 8 weeks to go, so not too

late to take some statistics.

Congrats on your results - when are we going to see some photos? :-)

Not sure if I will be posting them.... can I post pics on this site?

Wasn't for sure! I used to be embarassed and although I do NOT have

a body for a bikini I think it shows the best in what areas I have

improved and what I still need to improve on!!!! I am so excited

about starting a new challenge on Monday... I wish it was Monday

today :D

<<I need to find a site where I can figure out my lean body mass...>>

Check out this link - you can figure out how much bodyfat you lost

and also how much lean muscle you gained:

http://www.geocities.com/jgrrl2/math.html

<<I also need to figure out what I need to eat, do, etc. to keep the

bodyfat lowering and the fat loss losing>>

Probably what you have been doing just more consistancy ;-)

Post a separate post with what you normally eat and see if we can

give you any pointers (altho I doubt it because youve done fab so

far!)One thing I always recommend is to eat more fiber (at least

30grams a day) which helps transport bodyfat out of your system.

Also have a look thru 's site (Skwigg) if you havent already

that is - she has lots of good articles but let me point out a few

that might be what you need:

The Truth About Stubborn Bodyfat by Tom Venuto

Maximum Results by a

Metabolism by Likness

Heart Rate Zones (under the Exercise section)

The above reads plus more at: http://skwigg.tripod.com/id24.html

Great job, Juls! I'd keep doing more of whatever you've been doing.

It's obviously working. Check out the Microsoft Excel fat loss/muscle

gain calculator in the club files section:

/files/

It makes it easy to figure out changes in your lean mass and set

realistic goals. Also, check out the Ab Boot Camp routine. That can be

used three times a week on cardio days to really step up your ab

workouts. I wouldn't recommend doing abs every day (or 5 days). Train

them hard and let them recover just like any other muscle group.

I was looking at the " Pro's Point of View " in Oxygen a couple of weeks

ago and they asked several top fitness competitors how often they

train their abs. Nobody with the six-pack-to-die-for trained their abs

more than 3 times per week. Most of them said once or twice a week and

most of them used weights or resistance to make the muscles

well-developed and visible.

Here's one of my old posts on abs:

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! I have to go to work pretty soon. :-(

But I get paid double-time for sitting around eating pie and watching

the Seinfeld special. :-)

Okay from what I have calculated this is what I have come up with:

9.16 fat loss

4.76 muscle gained

Are those good? bad? fair? what? I am totally clueless aren't I?

I am cleaning house tomorrow and while on breaks I will be

reading over 's site... I have glanced and read SOME things but

not very much... time just keeps getting away from me....

Thanks everyone for all your help!!!
