I don't know why I never thought that they'd do the callipers at the gym, duh! So, I woke up this morning feeling all bloated and fat, but I decided to go workout and get weighed and bf% measured. They used both the callipers and the scale w/the bf% measurement on it as well...............

20 minutes on the elliptical at cross training level #3
10 minutes HIIT on the treadmill 5.6 & 5.0mph

My scale is off at home. I'm not 133 like I'd previously posted. Freaked out a little b/c I've gained a few lbs; I'm at 137 now. I'm going to post the old stats first, then the new stats.......last time I got bf% measured w/callipers was:
Oct 11, 2005 (7 site skinfold) 29.5% bf
Measurements:
Subscapular-13
Triceps-20
Chest-11
Midaxillary-10

Chest-11 (same)
Midaxillary-7 (down3)
Suprailiac-10 (down 5)

According to the bf scale they have I'm at 25.9% bf.........but according to the callipers I'm at 18.7% Whaaaaat? Is this possible?!? Wow, I was so surprised, I asked her to dbl check, lol!

I wouldn't pay attention to the scale BF measurement. I had similar results as you with my trainer taking my bodyfat masurements. At the time my electronic said 19%, my trainer got like 28%. There are a lot of variables though... I mean water is a big issue with those results, skin thickness can mess with the numbers, so who knows. Just keep on moving

I concur with Trelin. The BF Tanita scale in my bathroom has me anywhere from 28-30% in the morning. According to the calliper measurement, I'm at 15-16%. HUGE difference....

Diet has been off the past 2 days, no appetite what-so-ever, practically have to force myself to eat anything! Not to mention that I've had insomnia for the past 2 days as well. I don't know what is going on.......ug, but I feel like garbage, I have no clue why I haven't been able to sleep. No gym, but did walk 3 miles all around the past 2 days. Anyone know of anything that'll help w/insomnia?!?

I wonder why you don't have an appetite and can't sleep...have you been stressed or nervous about something?

Have you ever tried ZMA? It is an anabolic mineral formula. It contains Zinc, Magnesium and vitamin B-6. Taken before bedtime, it promotes deeper, more restful sleep. My husband and I have come to LOVE it, especially when we work so much and need to wind down quickly at night in order to get enough rest!

When I was younger, my parents were involved in Shaklee. I swear I took about 20 vitamins 2x a day!!! (shhh, don't tell but 1/2 the time I flushed them down the toilet - lol) Anyway, my dad use to have a problem sleeping and he would always take a couple calcium magnesium & zinc to help him.

Hope you get some good rest soon!

Also, not that this is exactly the "healthiest" way but try Simply Sleep. It's Tylenol PM without the Tylenol. I've had to rely on those blue pills a bit this week....but I only take one, not two. You can be a bit dozy in the mornings otherwise.
