Was at the Dr today for my Militia physical

Um ... at competition weight, Lenda Murray is at 7.5%. If you're at 3%, you should be very very worried. I've had some issues with insufficient body fat in the past and it can be extremely dangerous for women, leading to dramatic bone loss, among other things.

Stella-Thanks for worrying. I keep up my nutrition, so I'm not worried (I probably should as I get older)

Mad props for being healthy! You should start a thread on work out routine, what you eat, and your mindset to stay with it!

A healthy lifestyle is a fucking bitch to live in day in and out!

Thanks for sharin'.

You're entirely welcome ... now please excuse me while I hobble into the kitchen to take my calcium supplements.

Genetics plays an important roll in our bodies. How many fat cells we carry n so on. Which is why we are all unique and should celebrate that, instead of grilling folks on their physique. SMH

Steph just put a pic of yourself in the gallery then all will cease to wonder what you look like.

"overfat"?

as in 'i am soooooo OVER this fat'?

or 'i wish i could get rid of this fat that is suspended OVER my supermodel body'.

or 'could you please pass me that bowl of broccoli with the cheesy fat sauce poured all OVER it'?

or 'why are we always so verklempt OVER fat for f*ck sake? dont we have anything better to expend brain cells on'?

or...............................

Tony · 08-29-2012, 07:48 AM

I think we all had, at one point in our life or another, the body we wanted or close to it. I believe I still have mine; it's just covered by a more mature, seasoned casing. When we fall in love with someone, we see each other's version of the body we wish we had because after all, isn't that what love really is? (hmmmm maybe this should also be in another thread lol).
Anyway, just my .02

Dangit! I thought I kept all my body building pics on private!

NJFemmie · 08-28-2012, 05:57 PM

I believe men can actually be "okay" with 3% body fat.
For a female body, it is dangerously low and the stored fat is necessary for day to day body functions. At the height and weight that was previously mentioned .... well, let's just say that it leaves me "speechless".

I love statistics too!
And teach it too!
(got geek?)

I'd like to see the source of the statistics presented.
Also, presenting one individual (the body builder) and contrasting it with Steph in this forum is not terribly practical and really doesn't lend itself to an accurate or precise comparison.

And, who knows HOW Steph's body fat was measured? The reality is, unless she was submerged in a dunk tank with all the forced air expelled from her lungs (the single most accurate way to determine % body fat)--the "calculations" can have a +/- factor of up to 8% or so.....

Steph has impressed me with her kindness, her intellect, her enthusiasm for our Planet her obvious adoration for Amanda--and again, I say Welcome to her.

I'm all out of fucks to give about Steph's body fat %, I'm more concerned with my own.
