Damn, Well David Carridine from Kung FU and Wild West Tech was found dead. He kicked much butt and stayed amazingly active in his 70s. Last night 3.5 Total: 3.5 Planks 10 Fay: Don't do a push up, just get into the position and try to hold it... start with 10 secounds at a time... Drop it and weight for 30 secounds then try to do another 10 secounds. |

Great Starts Everyone! Susiecue: Why don't you try just doing the side plank poses 30 seconds each on both sides for a week untill your really comfortable on both sides. There is nothing wrong with taking your time but if you push to hard you can hurt yourself with that workout. I went to our first Search and Rescue meeting last night all the way out in Boulder, By the time I was coming home it was pouring rain and I had to put my top on my Jeep! LOL I got rained on a bit. Which is weird when you are driving. Anyway I got home at 9 to a very worried dog. Tonight I plan on a good 3 mile walk and fixing my tread mill. And of course my arms! |

You might want to get your Thyroid checked up on. Sometimes they can change quite suddenly. I would really want to rule that out first if I were you. So really were talking about 4-5 lbs here? It's possible some of it can be muscle... did you start lifting more? I think eating more calories is a step in the right direction regardless. |

I had the same problem after I really got into Kung fu. See I started Kung Fu at 165 lbs with some irritating fat around my midsection... not enough to make my stomach not flat, but I didn't like the look of it. After a year of a work out life like the one you described for yourself I weighed 185 lbs and still had just a little bit of stomach fat... but now I was "overweight". So then I started working out hearder and eating less. I got down to 178 developed anemia, started purging and ended up weighting 215 when everything was all done. So clearly that isn't what you want to do. This is what I suggest. 1. Focus on your body, not the scale Trust me if you are fit and active you will generally weight much more then you look because you are strong! Be honest and forgiving of yourself. Genetics has much more to do with 6 pack abs then behavior. 2. Eat more eat often Eating more sustains your metabolism and will help keep your energy up for your workouts. |

| Weight Loss | (help) confused about the wrist measurement/body size thing | Jun 01 2009 14:53 (UTC) |

Is there any other way to find out that isn't based on the size of your hand relative to the size of your wrist? |

| Weight Loss | (help) confused about the wrist measurement/body size thing | Jun 01 2009 14:33 (UTC) |

It really doesn't work for anyone though... all it really is an arbitrary decision based on the size of your hand compared to the size of your wrist... So it assumes that if your hand is much larger then your wrists then you are small boned.... But what if your hand is larger then your wrist because you have big hands or long fingers?? According to the test I am Small boned or have a small Frame. Trust me... that isn't the case. Not at all. |

201 lbs today. Which is actually a pretty good spot right now. I got down to the 190s last week but the weight loss was unnatural due to a sickness so I am glad to see that I am recovering but not gaining lots of extra weight. Today I start my Search and Rescue Training with my Puppy Grendel Wish us luck! |

Original Post by madpampees: LOL Oh my god. Does your underware fall off your butt because there is no butt to hold it up? mine does all the time hehe. I used to stand with my legs slightly apart too... and I never ever cross my arms around my chest because lol well it looks bad what with the squeezing of the boobs... So I stand with my hands on my hips. Legs slightly apart, hands on the hips... back straight. lol That's right I stand like wonder woman! Why not... I AM a Amazon Princes!

... I'm 5'10" 200 lbs. And I want to get down to 185, which according to my nutritionalist is the lowest I should every try to go with my current muscle mass. I ware a size 14 on button and a 16-18 on top... I got big boobs. Anyway I just wanted to rule in and shake a stick for all the big girls out there. I may weight 200 lbs but I think calling me obese is ludicrous. The BMI is a joke. If you want to know what you should weight and really feel sure about it ask a doctor (preferably nutritionist) who knows more about weight and health then he gleans from a out dated and over generalized graph. We are all fantastically different; 150 lbs on me and my family would hospitalize me! Trust me They were Freaked out when I weighed 165… Anyway the point is you can’t figure out if YOU are healthy by looking at someone else. |

OK I think I have everyone down for June. If I missed you or put you in the wrong spot let me know... For the time being if you didn't tell me which option you want or specify that you just wanted to walk I am putting you in Option 1. Let me know what corrections I need to make!!! Thanks! OH and Check this out... It's a nice article about the plank and some variations and things to consider. |

WOW what a Response! This is actually the 3rd month in a row of walking challenges, Myself, Girlfighting, Susiecue and Fayeonherway are all old hats on this! Oarsman, Miserybabe, Myhosi: Do you want to do any of the arms/core options? And as far as logging the miles we generaly check in once a day or so to touch base tell what your doing or planning and get some good support.

Sarah, LOL I love the Enthusiasm, but just doing More of option 4 will work all of the same muscles and more ... it will be way easier and faster to just focus on that. Doing 1, 2, 3 on top of that would be redundant. Try for 10-20 of option 4 a day and then try to work your way higher. |

OK Faye... I put you for Option 2... But Start at option one and try to work your way up over a week or so, then let me know how you are doing and we'll move you down if we need to. |

Please don’t use ankle weights… in my opinion it really really isn’t healthy. Our Knees are kind of a weak link and making your feet unnaturally heavy just doesn’t seem like a good idea.
Like I told you before You need a good weight vest to slow you down. Have you invested in one or are you still just carrying books? |

HAHA OH Fay, walking is WAY to easy for you.
Oh so yesterday I ended up having to go to Urgent care... They gave me 3 Liters of IV... I'm so sore it's like I was hit by a truck. They gave me some extra strong medication for this Giardia and said that I just got really dehydrated. OI. Anyway Everyone make sure the be drinking your water as you walk and lets all try to drink 8 ounces after any long walk. |

Awesome, It is Great to have you! Give the plank a shot some time this week, and don't be afraid to change your goal as you get stronger. |
