okay, i only read part of this thread because my head started to hurt.

i came in here to say...assuming what you say is true because i like to believe the best of people...i am so so happy for you that you're meeting your body and athletic goals.

but i've also had an eating disorder for half my life and i lost my period and put my body in severe danger by having too little body fat (and the amount of body fat one needs for women is higher than for men). i was at my sickest when i was most athletic (i'm a dancer). i didn't mind losing my period but i mind now the long-term damage to my reproductive system, bones, and metabolism.

i'm not saying you have an eating disorder, but for any woman, having body fat % that low is really dangerous.

please please take care of yourself.

I lol'd at this.

I use my Wii Fit Plus board to weigh myself and get my body fat measurements - I like it better than the VA scales because they got me weighing 20lbs heavier than my WFP

But every time I step onto my WFP board, the damn thing says, "OH!" ... as if I am so damn heavy even the machine cant take it!

And when my body fat measurement comes up, she tells me, "That's obese!" as if I dont already know that!

I hate that damn thing - she's so mean. lol



eta: ugh - I totally want to eat now! lol

Yes but at least it does so in that cute alien-ish voice, like mine does when it tells me I haven't quite reached my goal. LOL

She's not so cute when she's scolding me for waiting so long between workouts and weight-ins! lol

Of course, it's kind of funny when she's asking me where I've been and I'm standing there, stammering, trying to come up with a good excuse ..... to a machine.

Ummm...yeah. about 2 months ago, I stepped on and she said "it's been 293 days since your last visit" and I was like O M G, she's going to electrocute me as soon as I weigh in! LOL

Haha! I HATE that "OH", and I don't think I even warrant an "OH".
Now, if it were "ooooohhhhh", I could deal, but really?!?
She makes me very angry sometimes.

OMFG! This is the funniest thing ever!

Not that the voice is mean but your post!

I think I would want to throw that board out the window.

Btw, my BMI barely makes it into average now. One more fraction of a fraction of an ounce and, well, you know....

I don't think I had 3% body fat when I was born.

I don't think I had 3% body fat when I was born.
The first time it happened, I was all, "what did she just say?"

Then when I figured it out .... oh hell no.

LOL



You know, the lowest body fat I have ever had was when I was 21 years old and in boot camp - I was 5'10" (still am, actually, I havent begun to shrink - yet!), 135lbs, and 11% body fat.

Girl, let me tell you, my body flipped its shit - among other things that I cant remember because this was 20 years ago, I stopped having my period for 3 months (boot camp and school afterwards) and I almost completely stopped sweating, which in the Florida sun during July and August is not a good thing. lol

I have had moments where I look at pics of myself back then and long to be that thin again, but honestly, I think it was unbelievably unhealthy - for me - to be that thin with that BMI.

Dont get me wrong, I am no healthier now than I was then - I have gone from one extreme to another since I am now carrying around a Back Street Boy with a weight of 265 & a BMI of 38% if you believe my Wii - a weight of 285 & a BMI of over 40% if you believe the VA, so .... yeah.

Apparently, I need to find a happy medium!
