Happy Monday everyone...

Lyssie...
I used my scale and FitToGether to calculate my Body Fat but unless you have it professionally done you probably won't have the most accurate percentage. My GF had hers done and it wasn't too different from her scale.

Awww man, that chart sounded cool! Oh well. As long as the % keeps decreasing, that's what I'm happy about. I'm not overly concerned with it yet..I'm not close enough to goal...I'm just happy to lose inches and pounds.

Oooh this is so exciting, we have lots of people signing up, Cher!!!

My weight is 154… I was almost dyslexic and wrote 145… Is that dyslexic or the power of positive thinking?

I need to figure out how to make a chart with all of our losses like Saty did for the Halloween challenges. Can I do that in Microssoft Word? I don’t have Excel. Gee I’m so bad at that. But… I’ll try .

Adreliluc…. Use the 180, that way you’ll have a great drop next week… how fun…lol! Only I think that way (geez). Actually I think you should never have to weigh when TOM is approaching or during TOM it’s just cruel and unusual punishment! Don’t worry… it will go away next week and you’ll have a huge drop on the scales to be proud of.

Julie – You lost all of those inches through ‘Strength training’ not lifting. So, what’s the difference. You weren’t using weights? I’m really impressed with the amount of inches you lost. If you continue losing inches like that you'll really will have impressive arms and a flat tummy by July. I need to join you in your strength training.

Are you guys talking about your levels of body fat or BMI. My body fat is really high too. I didn’t even look at that. I figured that’s what gives me soft skin …lol. I just looked at the BMI... silly me.

Cher, strength training=lifting weights.

I use free weights rather than machines. I prefer to call it strength training because with my legs, I don't really "lift" the weights, you know what I mean...? It's really helped to sculpt my body. I mean, I'm no where near finished, but it's made a drastic improvement!

Hi everyone, showing my face, doing my work, off to snoop! TTYL!

The BF% doesn't freak me out tooo much, I kind of would rather think about BMI as well. And waist measurement, hio to waist ratios and what not. To me that stuff makes more sense anyways.

Hubby’s Girl

New picture…

OMG what a sexy picture! I LOVE it… the side swept bangs and all. I was just reading an article about achieving that affect. You look great!

Re: Set off the Fireworks"- Lose 15 pounds by July 4th! A new

Thanks Cher! I got it done last week. I had blonde highlights put on the top half of my head and the back underneith part is chocolate brown. The bangs are side bangs and stay pretty much that way. i use a straightener to flip the ends a little bit, and just lightly spray it to hold it in place. Here is a close up. I like it a lot, it is way easier to co now that I have had 6+ inches cut off!

Hubby’s Girl - That is such a beautiful picture. They did a great job on your hair. I love the highlights and the cut. The side bangs are great. Very pretty.

Idaho Girl – I’m so glad you posted your picture. You are very pretty too. We have such beautiful women on this site! Plus, it’s just so exciting getting to know one another. But, the reality is… it’s hard for us to see our changes unless we actually look at the pictures. Sometimes seeing the scale go down just isn’t enough. So, I’m excited for each one of us who are willing to accept this challenge. It’s sort of freeing to post the measurements .
