    Chest

    I have experienced the same. I have lost fat but the fellow twins are still the same (no apparent fat loss in there), even more lifted (or less sagging, I should say).

    I'm thrilled! but...I don't believe it!

    Yes, you are missreading. You must be sleepy. LOL! ;-) I never said that was my goal. I didn't know -and still don't know- what my body fat %. I suspect it is much higher than 9.4. I'm too are scared about losing my period and/or being unhealthy. When I get an accurate reading I will know if I...

    I'm thrilled! but...I don't believe it!

    Sincerely I am not sure I recommend the Fat Track Gold. The Accumeasure, the cheaper one, that you only pinch in the illiac crest seems to be easier to get an accurate reading. I got my Fat Track Gold for $25, no shipping and handling with coupon, on supplementsexpress.com. But for some reason...

    Well, when I was 16 years old (I am 27 now)I took a one year course on oil painting. But we spent about ten months in drawing, pastel, etc. I actually only did two oil paintings during the course. It was good at the time because I never took classes before, but the teaching was somewhat chaotic...

    I'm thrilled! but...I don't believe it!

    Shannon... And I thank you for helping me with this. ;-) The Fat Track Gold has a blue button on one of the measuring legs that is supposed to indicate correct pressure and measurement, ensuring accuracy, with an audible beep. I don't understand how it does it, though. I'll let you know...

    Is that beautiful art in your picture trail yours? If so, you are very good! Do you paint for a living? I paint but I am not as proficient as you in terms of technique, due to not do it often. I have done few works, but I want to get serious and do more and do it for a living.

    I'm thrilled! but...I don't believe it!

    Shannon, thank you so much for the tips. I am going to copy, paste, and print it for my next measure. Here is what I did: The fat track gold is for measuring oneself in three sites: arm, waist, and thigh. For arms, I flexed and grabbed the skin with with the caliper because, obviously I...

    I'm thrilled! but...I don't believe it!

    It sounds impressive, but I don't really look that impressive. Maybe I haven't mastered the Fat Track Gold caliper technique. I have used it only a couple of times. I am going to keep measuring my bf% for the rest of the week to make sure I master the technique. If it keeps coming that low...

    I'm thrilled! but...I don't believe it!

    According to my Fat Track Gold, I am 9.4% bodyfat. I know the numbers are not exact, but an estimate. But I think it is lower than I really am. I don't think I look as defined as a 9.4% would. Also, my skin looks flabby, not tight. Maybe it's that. Maybe with a tan I would look more defined. Or...

    How can they do this?

    I have noticed that too. They want us to believe that trans fats are NOT the same as partially or hydrogenated oils.

    Question about DOMS

    You can try lowering your weights, but doing more challenging variations of exercises with absolute strict form AND constant tension. Change the grip, the stance, the angle, etc. Change something in each workout. Upping the weight is only ONE way to make the exercises more challenging and...

    The most bizarre thing happened to me yesterday.......

    To me that is plain envy. But this lady had to be crazy to express her envy the way she did. And if she thinks that her mercedes and her age give her the power to attack others, she is so delusional.

    Skin care regimen...

    Michelle (mf545), how does that sunblock smell? My husband hate the SPF smell and won't get near me when I use it. I have yet to find a sunblock that is not greasy AND smells good.
