He didnt give me the actual skinfold numbers. He plugged then into the computer program he had. He also didnt measure twice. Just once. And when he measured my thigh, he did it OVER my pants.

No.. I would have been really pissed off if I had. 
I would ask for a redo first of all. Secondly, get the numbers, third, wear shorts and a sports bra and that way they don't have clothing to work around to get the pinch. Also, make sure you tell them to meausre each site 2-3 times. If you have to pay for it then pay for it. Wiithout the numbers we have no idea where your losing fat and where your not. Make sense?? 
Yes it makes perfect sense. 
- Im going to try a diiferent gym though. The one I go to every day doesnt seem to have the most knowledgable staff.
BTW, is it right to only measure the thigh, waist side and back of the arm? Just those three spots?
I thought they measured more spots than that..

There are several different methods! But the more sites you measure, I think the better overall estimate you will have.
I think so too..
Im still depressed though.
I need a coffee.

Im not a member of Gold's but I've been going on day passes (I have a million).
Wonder if they'll do a BF% test with one of those?
Cant I have my doc do one when I go in for a physical?

No, doctors don't do caliper testing. Gold's will do it for $5.00 - $10.00 if I remember correctly. Thats where I have mine done and if you ask they will do a 7 site. Initially they try to get away with just the 3 site but you tell them you want the 7 site and they will do it. Also, tell them you want each individual skinfold number not just the total BF% ok?
Gotcha, Thanks!

OMG thats way too much weight. You should not go higher than 5lbs for External Rotations. I would suggest you start at 3lbs and then in a few weeks do 5lbs but don't EVER go any higher than that.
Rotators do not require much weight!!
I was gonna SAY! I almost dropped dead. good thing I was on the floor.
Ok. Fitday is down and I was going to wait until I posted my meals to come clean.
The guilt is unbearable.
I had half a ROLL yesterday.
BUTTERED.

..So.. what happens to "cheats" when you eat them?
Do they flush out of your system since the body isnt used to them?
.. Or do they just linger and hinder fat loss?

and the answer is .................... they just linger and hinder fat loss!
Cheats are rewards for cutting out the junk ... the less cheats you have, the better your muscle building/weight loss will be. After you've done the living clean for a while, the urges to eat cheats subsides (for me anyways ...)
This is terrible news. Cant I reverse the process somehow and get it out?

Your only reprise is to pray to the fitness gods and hope they aren't forever mad at you. Oh boy ... wait till Jodi reads this, you're in big trouble missy. 
Hey Julie - Hope you aren't sweating too much over the cheat. Now you not only have to listen to your own conscious but also everyone giving you the no-no fingers at IM. Isn't it great?
Have a good day girl and enjoy this beautiful weather we are having (we are neighbors ya know
BTW Jodi - I go to Gold's and they don't use calipers They use this stupid BIO Impedance machine (ultrasound I guess) that takes a reading from your foot and your hand and registers on a machine. You also have to be laying down when they do this. It was WAY inaccurate. Calipers are the best but jeez it's hard finding a place that uses that method. If you find a place please PM me. Thanks

Why would bread just linger? If the body isnt used to it, cant you eat more fiber and drink more water and wash it out?
Sorry to barge in on your journal, Julie, but your right, this isnt good news
Instead of burning fat, the body will revert back to burning the carbs in the bread. If you don't burn all those carbs, it stores the rest as fat on top of what you already have.

And what exactly burns all those carbs FOR SURE?

It depends on which Gold's you go to. I don't know where your located but I've gone to 4 different Gold's gyms around my area and 3 out of the 4 do caliper skinfolds.
NT - Julie and I already had our discussion.
