Okay, I just read about the pencil test today while looking through Cathe's rotations. Yes, I got out a number 2 & dropped my pants for it. LOL Even though, I think there's a lot of fat in my back side, I passed. Yeah! Only now, my dh thinks I've gone totally insane. :)
 
OK, so it sound like this is not the under the boob test to see if you need to wear a bra:D If not, I have never heard of it. Off to do a search on the rotation forum
 
Take a pencil and place it between your glute and hamstring. If you can hold the pencil, it's supposedly fat holding the pencil in place.
 
Yeah! Good for you too! I don't think so unless you used one of those jumbo sized pens. :D

BTW, I clicked your link. I'm bummed that your progress is password protected. I need to start taking pictures of my progress. Think I'll start tonight since it IS Valentines Day! :+
 
Lea,

After seeing your progress pictures, I KNOW you passed... That is if you tried the pencil test. My 9 yr. old dd and I think your boys look adorable. Don't worry, she's sweet and innocent. It was the awww kind of adorable.
 
Even at my heaviest (50# more than right now) I would have passed the pencil test. I am genetically programmed to have a flat @$$, or as we affectionately call it, 'office chair butt':+

Take Care
Laurie:)
 
What I would have killed for more of an office chair butt. You'd think I was related to J-Lo. I don't mean that in a good way! :D

I'm bummed too! LOL If I didn't look so horrible in the pics I would have left them open to the public. My hope is to do a big reveal at the end but that's only if the 90 pics atleast turn out good! It stinks cuz I love what I see in the mirror but in a pic I look awful! x(
 
>And I crave more 'bubble':)

I'm totally with you, Laurie. That's why I like lunges, because they help with office chair butt. But genetic programming is hard to overcome.

That's really nice of you to say. Thank you. I bet your 9 yr old is adorable too!!

When my butt is in its best shape, I can hold a pencil between my cheeks without flexing (it's muscle, not fat). (Don't ask how I know that...;-) )
 
Is Cathe's butt pencil test "if you can hold a pencil under your butt cheeks, that's fat"? If so, it's not necessarily true. I have a 'tuckless' but, which means that there is a fat pocket right at the glute/ham tie-in, so I couldn't hold a pencil there, but it's because of the fat that's there. (I've always envied people with 'tuck' butts. A 60-year-old colleage of mine has one! And so does our secretary.)
 
Oh no I can hold the pencil there. I'm gonna go ahead and blame it on my jeans, I think the pocket folded into it and thats why it stayed, um yeah. I think I might add butts and gutts in an extra time this week.
