Bikini on Labor Day weekend??

Your A$$ looks hot, Sand! I did not inherit your bootie that's for sure. You musta got that from your dad's side LOL! Way to go... you look BANGIN!!!!!!! She is my cousin, I can say that

Well, Thanks, Laurie! I started with my trainer this morn and weighed in at 116 lbs and 29% bodyfat. Does anyone know if that is high?? I have very high hopes and so far am liking his routine. Compound exercises and boxing is soooo much fun! I hope all my ShapeFit friends here are well and enjoying their fall activities. It is my fav time of the year although this year a lot less pumpkin pie! Although I have not posted much lately I have been keeping tabs on you guys in the forums! LOL. Still working towards my goals and picking up the pace after a little down time. Talk soon.

Hey girl!

29% bodyfat is somewhat high, but still in the "acceptable" range. Keep in mind that those tests are not always 100% accurate and the readings can and will change depending on who administers the test and what kind of test they use. I've had readings fluctuate by as much as 5-6%. Make sure that the same person administers the test each time and make sure they use the same measuring device.

With that said... Thats very exciting that you've started meeting with your trainer! I'm very happy for you and glad you're having fun with it so far!

Oh man I love pumpkin goodies!I'm not a fan of pie crust but LOVE the pumpkin pie filling!.. Put that in a bowl with some whip cream and i'm in heaven! I'm planning on playing with some recipes here in the next month to see if i can make a healthy version of pumpkin pie filling. If i can some up with something tasty I'll let you know!

Great job and thanks for the update!

Cassie

I *think*:
"Normal" female is 22-25% BF
Lean is 17-22% BF
Athletic female is <17% BF

But I'm really not positive. If you are going to track your BF, please note that there are several methods for doing so, and results generally will NOT translate from one to the next. They are reliable when done using the same method by the same technician, and change can be accurately measured, but the margin of error is something like 3%. (I think).

Thanks, Ladies! Cassie, good job on your show and your pics are AMAZING!!!! I love the tan. LOL. A healthy pumpkin pie filling would be a dream come true! Yes, I know I am on the high side of the norm bf range. Maybe it is my boobs! LOL. If that is the case I will take it. Haha. Les, I love your new avatar. All of u girls are sooooo pretty! I just got my cuz turned on to ShapeFit. Hopefully she will love u guys as much as I do!!

Hey girl, no matter what your bodyfat reading says...you look great. My bodyfat % is supposedly 32. I know I have a few extra pounds but not 32%!!! So don't get all caught up in that reading, you know us shapefit girls have some awesome muscles, so we aren't the normal body type

Yes, I know I am on the high side of the norm bf range. Maybe it is my boobs! LOL. If that is the case I will take it.

LOL! That's the attitude! I wish I had a little more of that problem! But that seems to be the ONLY place I am able to lose weight! UGH! And I don't have any to lose!! All the while the fat on my hips hangs on for dear life!

I have an inkling Cassie....would those pumpkin pie fillings have any oatmeal and eggwhites in them?! Just kidding! Be sure and post your recipes for those and any other healthy versions of holiday treats...you know we got Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and New years coming up!

Anyway, Sandigirl - I wish you the best with your new trainer and workout programs! Keep us updated!

10 bucks says they have sweet potato in 'em.

Plus you can pretend it's your birthday, by having an Aspargus spear sticking out of the top, like a faux candle.

Plus if you drizzled Olive Oil on the Asparagus, it might ignite like a real Candle does .

Ahhhh hahahaha. Nope! I'm thinking tofu, ff cottage cheese, pumpkin, possibly sugar free vanilla pudding, pumpkin pie spice... I'm going to have to play with it for sure but these are my ideas so far. I saw a recipe in Oxygen for pumpkin pie filling with tofu... might go back and try to find that and see what i can come up with.

Seriously dude... sweet potato in pumpkin pie filling? Gag-o-rama.

Ohhhh another good recipe for this season is pumpkin bread that has pumkin, whole grain flour, applesauce, oatmeal, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and a few eggwhites. YUM! I can't wait to get this next competition over with so i can start baking (and eating!) some yummy fall treats! I love this time of year!

I personally would rather take in sugar than artificials. I know how to get rid of sugar in my body. I don't know how to reverse the adverse effects of sugar free pudding. (We all have a "thing", this is mine!)

And if *anyone* can find a way to work sweet potato into a pie filling it is you, Cassie.
