Well, a gal I know is a nutritionist and took at look at me and says I'm at least 6% bodyfat if not less. She told me those bodyfat things get less accurate as you lean out, however I did a pincher as well and it also came back 7%.

I'm betting that thing will say 6% next week Almost there! I may try to get to 5

I've started increasing calories a bit and it kind of jump started the loss in body fat. I've lost about 1.5 - 1.8% the past two weeks if you believe that meter.

Thanks! Feels good to finally be able to relax...even if just a little. Once you get to your goal it's a lot easier to maintain that achieve.

Cool on the blue berries! I love those things.

Thanks everyone for the words of advice and encouragment. Tomorrow I will be back on the ball with eating clean and healthy.
Everyone has been doing so great! I figured I will post my update pics to mark 8 months. I could be much leaner but just gotta dust myself off and jump back on this thing...

LoL...That's what I am hoping for....to have fun and be exhausted!!! When you did it, did you use their training plans? I'm gonna do their Tough Mudder Boot Camp to help prep...am looking for a hook up with either the AF security forces, army or local police to see if I can find a confidence/obstacle course to train on too.

You might wanna check these towel seat covers out....http://www.seatarmour.com/camaro they have a hole for the head rest and cover up your seat...no more worrying about your towel sliding down and getting your seats all sweaty!

So, me, my husband and daughter are running in the Firecracker 5K on the 4th of July. It will be my husband and my daughter's (8yrs old) very first 5K! I am already so proud of both of them!!

I did not. I kept my weight lifting routine and just added some running for a couple months. Most of the course is really general strength and conditioning, so endurance is what it's all about. But you need to be able to pull your body weight up, and you should know how to handle a set of monkey bars

That's pretty lean. Very often when you cut calories for too long fat loss slows down, some times due to your metabolism slowing down, eating a little more is sometimes what it takes to jump start things again.
