The only thing i have noticed at work is that i now spring out of my office chair rather than have to push myself up with my hands off the desk. Oh and my butt takes up less space on my chair :P

I usually have a chat to my other lifting friends. They remind me how far i have come already.

I eat a nice big meal, have a good sleep and try again next session. I tend to find that then i'm...

I wish i had your problem OP lol

Friday nights is my dedicated heavy leg night. Mainly because the gym is empty (well actually just the leg area because all the guys are working arms and chest getting ready for a night out lol)
I...

My guy friends (also lifters) think its good :) We can chat about stuff and they don't have to try to explain how they can eat so much and not get fat :P

Guys at the gym stare for a bit when i...

OK so instead of going off a caliper test which then has the results put into a calculator to give me a % - i could pinch a few areas (the ones i care about) and then pinch those areas again and...

When people ask "how much weight have you lost?" I just say "Oh a few dress sizes"
Mainly because i cant be bothered to explain the whole muscle weight thing again and again!

So I'm just curious to know my bodyfat %. I'm pretty uneven (huge amounts of fat on my butt/legs and quite lean on top) so its hard to guess from a visual.

My PT can do it with the calipers for...

My face is the second place i lose fat from (first being boobs) On the plus side i now have cheek bones. On the downside i also now look a look older (chubby face keeps you looking young)

My boyfriend reads (a lot) so while he reads i workout. He thinks i should be reading too. I find reading slightly boring and would rather be doing something active. I do fun runs in the morning on a...

I'm in a similar place as yourself OP. Training for about a year now. Great results (along with some up and downs too) Totally changed my lifestyle and it has been well worth the hard work!

Well...

I work full time
Study part time
and still workout most days and sometimes twice a day. (i might even ride my bike to work and back 1.5 hour round trip, do a PT class at work and also go to the gym...

hahah Yeah its a bit different here

A few of my friends are doing the Cert IV in Fitness here at the moment (what you need to work in a gym and be called a Personal Trainer(i think - feel free to...

This frightens me so much that these people are being taught this in Fitness School (wherever you do it- Tafe?) OR the guy is so dumb that he just makes his own stuff up :/

Female and height have nothing to do with it. Are you calculating your body fat percentage correctly?

And you have hit a plateau because you are not eating enough.

I have a cheap version of versa gripps (address below). I have never used versa gripps so i cant say if these are as good as but they have helped me a lot.

My legs have stayed the same size (as in inches) but they LOOK a lot better since doing weights and building the muscle underneath. Less cellulite, less wobble.

I lost over 20kg (40lbs) by doing ZERO cardio. Just being strict on my calorie intake and doing heavy weights.

Cardio bores the heck out of me and i hate doing it.

It took a LONG time for my...

I am in your exact situation Amandy76 - Always had huge thighs and backside. When i sit they spread and it looks horrible.

We are around the same height and weight too.

Once i started to...

I have dents too

On my butt and thighs. I think its uneven fat distribution (like really bad cellulite) I haven't managed to get rid of them just yet. I'll let you if they stay there when i lose...
