Re: I'M NOT FAT, I'M BIG BONED!!!!

I was very critical of staying still so I shallow breathed and tried not to

blink too much either!

I read too that if there is any change in your breathing while in the Bod

Pod, it can throw off the test results.

Good Luck!

Hey Nic,

Thanks for all the great info on the BodPod thing. I still think you look

great and 21% BF is awesome!

Nic,

Take the BF thing with a grain of salt. You used different methods. The

point is that you feel and look fantastic right? What more can we ask for.

We're healthy, strong and happy women that are taking great care of

themselves. At nearly 49 years old I feel more like I'm in my 30's. Imagine

how great you'll feel when your my age. Cool huh?

I tell my team not to get all caught up in " comparing their BF% with others "

they have seen online. All have used different methods to calculate the BF

and frankly I like the team to use their own measurements and the fit of

their clothes as a guide.

I look at my after shot were I thought it was 17.5% but I see others that

look nearly identical to that pic say they are 10-13% so I don't pay much

attention anymore. Maybe that is why EAS doesn't ask us to do BF% anymore.

Thanks Sara. I appreciate your opinion on the matter. And it was 21.8% not

21.6%. I know, I'm nickle and diming it to death, but a tenth is a tenth!!!

The fat I have is the tough and tight sub-cutaneous junk that really is hard

to pinch. My skin tone is excellant and I hide it very well. The only place

that you'd really notice any dimpling or evident fat is right below my butt.

It used to be Ultra Mega Cottage Cheese Butt, but now it's right where my

boyfriend likes it and I just wanna get rid of the residual jiggley action

going on.

I don't care. I'm gonna show that machine in 6-12 weeks. I think I'm going

to shoot for 8 weeks. I NEED to keep my training absolutely intense. The

Bodylogix program I'm following has about 1/2 the exercises I was doing with

BFL so that leaves me to focus all my energy on those few exercises without

worrying about keeping some energy in reserve for the long routine of BFL. I

can go full-bore right from the start. That I'm doing cardio every

evening..whether that be cardio kick-boxing or step aerobics or whatever if

there's no class.

Today was my first step class. I almost died!!! It was fun and I noticed I

could keep up. BFL has really done wonders for my metabolism and endurance.

I remember back in the day when I couldn't do the BFL 20 aerobic solution.

I'd do 10 minutes and almost pass out!!! Now I'm a lean mean girlie machine!

After looking at all the pictures I have on the internet of people doing

BFL, I kind of feel like I can " see " the bodyfat of people. You know what I

mean? Like when I look at a woman with 10%, you can see the difference of

one with 15% (the tight skin over the abs, the indentations in the hips).

In your pictures, your sure don't LOOK like your bodyfat is 21.6%. You seem

much more defined than that. Is this making sense to y'all what I'm trying

to say?

Either you are not 21.6% or there are a lot of inaccurate readings floating

around or your bodyfat is certainly not evident to the naked eye! You look

fantastic!!!

Oh, I totally agree with you. My essential goals have been met and exceeded.

My life has been saved and I have a whole new life to look forward to.

I'm just doing this now as a hobby, something that's all my own. I'm being a

lot more critical of what I do and what the results are. It's a way of

pushing myself to see if I can go the distance. I have yet to reach my

maximum potential and honestly I don't think I ever will because I'll always

find the fire deep inside of me to overcome and exceed and succeed.

Thanks so much Kit. I appreciate it. I just want to give you a high five,

cuz I've been there. We've shared those " slug " moments of the past....and

that's where they shall remain...in the past. Gosh. Just reading that email

gives me a chill because that's where I was 10 months ago tomorrow. August

14th, 1999, the day I decided to change my body and my life forever. =)

It's like a new re-birth-day.

<< Wow! You're really going to the next level with all the variety and

challenge in the aerobics! Isn't it great having all that stamina? I felt

that way this morning on the treadmill. Being able to run for 38 of the 40

minutes (all except warm-up) with the first twenty being the aerobics

solution would have caused a coronary 6 months ago. It was a 10 for me to

walk for 4 minutes and run for 1. With all the classes and Tae-Bo I

probably have years of challenges ahead of me, but it's nice to know that

I'm getting stronger and more fit and can see myself doing those things at

49 going on 20. Keep us up to speed on your Body Logix successes! All the

best! Kit :=) >>

Nic,

Congratulations on your re-birthday!

I myself have been at it for 2 1/2 years. I slip a few pounds and jump back

into the full swing of things. It happens! We just get with the program

again for a few weeks or months and bingo- bango we're our healthy svelt

little selves again.

My wish, is that we wouldn't ever slip backwards and could just stay the

same all the time. What's with that anyways?! sheeeeesh!

Jen <--back to the new-normal!
