RAFL Oh whatever
OH, the sex issue. . A wrong number . I think once there is not a lot
of fat to draw from, when the body is trying to repair tissue it will Insist on energy sources of some kind. It is truly a different quality of hunger from that one that I would feel for a couple of weeks when I had to drop my points? That one was intense too, but perversely almost enjoyable compared to the exercise and lower weigh induced one. It felt "healthy" or something, whereas the other feels "CRITICAL". I can't describe it, do you feel the difference? good deal on the nice ski trip. I wonder if I could ski.? Upper body development almost requires resistance training i.e. inside boring stuff.

Lesanne: What is the Bob Greene site? Connie Lesanne wrote: Loosely translated y Ya, means "and whatever" "and so on" "and thats it", that kind of thing. I am a happy camper my own scale is back to 157 this morning. The leader thinks 155 is not realistic because of my muscle mass, and the size I am right now, as in measurements. She thinks I am done. Also, I do still have enough skin to cover 365 pounds although it has done a fabulous job of shrinking up, It doesn't flake off or anything. And the way I tend to get Ferociously hungry and feel weak when I try to get below where I am right now. My bone structure is fairly average, but I began weightlifting while I was still in the mid 250's and I was not dieting at the time. I have lost some of the muscle mass, but you can still clearly see quite a bit of it here and there, particularly in my quads and my shoulders. Bob Greene uses height, age, weight, waist measurement and sex (there was no place for "no" in the sex choices so I went with F for failing). My waist measurement is 29 inches. Also, the top of me (lets not get too specific) still has two rather large weights that I don't care to totally lose, they give the body some shape. Y Ya. Gonna stick as close to 157 as I can. She does not think that is realistic either, but whatever. She thinks the 164 goal is good. But I am not going there. Lesanne 365/160/157 "Fred" wrote in message ... A MAINTAIN below GOAL is a GOOD THING (as Martha would say). Mind if I ask why the leader thought 155 was not realistic? Bone size or bone density or????? What does that Bob Greene site use to make that determination? And is that "y Ya?" And if so, what does it mean when they say it down "thar?"

My leader at my meeting (where I was at 159.5) said that it is probably not realistic for me to try to get to 155 anyway. I put my measurements into a site that Bob Greene has up, and came out with "athletic" category at 19. something percent body fat. I am going to quit trying to lose more and just concentrate on staying in the high one fifties, y Ya as they say here -- Cheers, Connie Walsh 241.5/205/155 RAFL 210.5/205/198.5 |
