mesaucedo 207 Posted June 12, 2012 Haha I was just on this site yesterday after oogling Jessica Biel's body in Blade Trinity. Turns out she has like 6% body fat... so I guess that is out. :tongue2: This is where we really have to get over that dang scale! I "want" to weigh 170, and I just hit the 100 pounds lost mark. But, I'll be happy at whatever weight I end up at if I am fit and healthy, whether that weight is 170 or 220. I read a really good article yesterday on www.nerdfitness.com (cool reading, check it out) about a gal who lost from 170 down to 117, but wasn't happy or healthy. When she added strength training to her routine, she gained about 30 pounds, but her size went down while her muscle mass increased. She looks fabulous at 141, but looking at her you'd never guess that she weighed that much! I believer her name is Stacy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted June 12, 2012 Dad to 2, Thank you for linking the article. I was posting on the fly, so just gave the overall site. I don't know if I agree with everything the guy has to say, but he's definitely a believer in what he preaches. Aren't we all? LOL I was really enthralled with the body makeovers on that site. I believe there are 6 and I read three of them last night. My son has started following the Paleo diet and is working the exercise into his routine. I guess my Facebook friends aren't the only people I've inspired to get healthier! Son and I spent a couple of hours on the phone last night discussing exercise routines, diet, and the Nerd Fitness site. I truly don't care what the scale eventually says as long as I'm happy with how I look and feel. 1 PdxMan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
