I cant wait until the gym re-opens and finals end and I can start working out regularly again inshallah...I put on this black shirt last night that used to be baggy on me. It still fits but my arms look like really bad in it. I always had skinny arms and my nickname USED to be Chicken Arms...

I'm going to kill myself at the gym after this semester's over inshallah.

Sumiyia, did you get that dvd yet by any chance? I wish I'd asked for the type of service that had a tracking number.

For those of you who don't want to cough up like $39.99 for a workout dvd, you can go to this website and download them for much cheaper. Go to the studio section, they seem to have a pretty decent collection. I haven't tried any of them though, but apparently you can try them out for free or see a preview.

I'm wondering what sort of workout I should do today. Yesterday I did weight training and little bit of cardio afterwards. My knees are feeling a bit funny, so maybe I'll walk a few miles.

but it's also important to remember that a lot of things can influence body fat %.
some factors i can think of right now

1) whether you've eaten a meal before getting it evaluated
2) fluid consumption
3) caffieine consumption
4) right before you're due to start your period

so yeah, like your weight the only way to get a good estimate is to do it a couple mornings in a row at the same time.

thanks itznotme and sally.

So I've switched from 2% milk to 1% milk. tastewise there is not a huge difference.

yea I did that a few years back and now if I try 2% it feels heavy on me. After a while you'll get this feeling.
