My bf was high-21.7%, they measured my wrist, and put this thingie around my arm, I dont know how accurate this is. They said the average active female is 20-25% bf.

They mainly stressed the importance of diet. All the people in their binder changed NOTHING except their diets, their training stayed the same.

They set me up on a meal plan, staring at 2100 cals, it seems pretty high, but Im gonna give it a go. (They are aiming for 2lb a weeks fat loss) Quite a few diff foods to choose from, I can even have skim milk and some diff cereals! (fairly small portions though) They are about counting cals, and not so much carbs and proteins, which I am used to-fats are to be kept to a very min.

Cardio and weights are important as well. The more cardio the better-even if its just a simple walk, that is cardio. My tool that they use to monitor their/my progress is the scale. I should be weighing in daily. You wanna know something else they told me? The average GIFTED women can only put on approx 6lbs of muscle a year, which in turn is 1/2lb a month.

Im excited yet scared to do this. The rigid-ness military style is going to be a lot of work. I want this to work mentally. I dont want to get stressed emotionally, and binge. Im gonna give it a try.
Trainers didn't use a 7 site caliper method? Hmm, wonder how accurate they are...

I go up the stairs several diff ways, sideways, 2 or 3 at a time-3 is like a huge lunge. Jog 10, walk 10, just try to switch it up. Last year I was doing 10-11X 240 stairs, I didnt want to kill myself today, tomorrow we'll see how I feel, Im sure I will be sore!
HOLY COW~ AWESOME AWESOME WORKOUT GIRL!!!!!! You Kicked some major bootie!!!!!!!

Skim milk, yum!! Everyone always says "no milk", they think it is fine for now. I really am excited and motivated. I'm not gonna cheat<---- SOMEONE REMEMBER THAT!!!!! Seriously, I will only be cheating myself. Im not even stressed about doing this "diet", even though I said a while ago that I have banished the word....

Toady is beauty-ful outside, nice n sunny!! Im gettin ready to go to the gym, and Steve is getting my "nice" rims put on my car, yipeeeeeeeeeee! I also have to go to the dentist, not a big deal, its better than work! I might tan and go look at showhomes tonight. Goin to the gym all, have a super one!! (walking like an idiot cause Im so sore)

Stacey ... I don't know that I'd call it a diet persay. If Jill posts her meals, you'll see it's really a diet, more just a healthy way of eating.
