Samantha Cordell Fitness Guru Posts: 338 Samantha Cordell Success is not a race, be patient. Success leads to success. Success is always a work in progress. Success doesn't come to you--you go to it. Success is a journey, not a destination. Focus on the process. Some people dream about success... while others wake up and work hard at it. Success is achieved and maintained by those who try-and keep trying. Everyday is a good day to SUCCEED! If at first you don't succeed-try, try again	# Posted: 9 Mar 2008 13:39 Should they be taken with or without a bra??? I'm confused... thanks ladies..
~ Linaeve Fitness Guru Posts: 311 ~ Linaeve I work for a health care industry. I love tennis and running. I'm engaged to an amazing man, getting married November 1sh 2008. I am excited to lose weight and improve my heart (I have heart disease). Short term goals: 1) measure my bodyfat % 2) complete 20 lb challenge 3) more consistent workout schedule (DONE) 4) phase from 2% milk down to 1% milk (DONE) 5) lose 30 to 40 lbs by my birthday (May 30th) Long term goals: 1) Be able to run 3 miles again 2) Play tennis again on a regular basis 3) Reach my goal weight 4) Look great, healthy and confident for my wedding 5) Maintain a healthy lifestyle in order to have a baby	# Posted: 9 Mar 2008 16:22 I think it is completely up to you. BUT whatever way you do it, just make sure you continue to do it that way to maintain a nice base measurment and maintain consistancy.

BELT NOTCHES for 2008: - Mistressed the PULL-UP! - 2, 1.2km lake swims. Video of proper Squat form: http://www.traineo.com/11_5529_0.html	# Posted: 9 Mar 2008 16:31 I'd go sans-bra, as if you're like me, you have many bras and may not remember to wear the same one for each measurement. Also, if they're of the push-up variety, you may be losing but that might not be reflected in the measurements due to the firm cup.
Kathy O traineo Fanatic Posts: 200 Kathy O I have been working out regularly since Sept 07. I've been here several times in the past BUT this time the change is going to last a LIFETIME!! I am the mother of a ten year old competitive figure skater (which takes alot of my time). I work fulltime and my hubbie works away. Time is a challenge!!! I would like to lose 20lbs by July 1. I resolve to: Short term (by June 1, 2008): 1. Get back on track after my vacation in Cuba (April 7 - 16, 2008) 2. cardio 5x/week including trying to get back to running if my achillis tendon will ever heal! 3. weight train 3-4 x per week 4. Drink 64 oz water per day (this will be the biggest challenge!) 5. Obtain a Normal BMI (154 lb)! Midterm Goals (by July 1, 2008): 1. Continue with short term 2. Try to increase mileage to run a 10 km race around Canada Day (July 1, 2008) 3. Try to find a 10 km race to run between June 15 - July 15, 2008 4. Obtain goal weight (currently set at 150 lb but maybe 144 lb) - BMI around 23 5. Continue weight training Long term (By March 31, 2009): 1. To still be at this in 12 months time (the exercise and health habits not the weight loss part!) 2. To maintain a BMI of around 23! 3. To run a half marathon...if all works out...Myrtle Beach Half Marathon Feb 2009	# Posted: 9 Mar 2008 18:05 I agree with both Linaeve and Minu - consistency is the important point. And if you do it with the bra it is important to remember which one as they all support/push up differently. I have gone done 2 full cup sizes since Christmas so I've had to purchase new bras - do the hold "them" the same as my old bras? God knows! I usually do it naked or with one of my fitness tops on which usually holds (or flattens) them to the same degree!
Angie H Fitness Guru Posts: 718 Angie H I am using the Zone way of eating (www.drsears.com) to attain my target and increase my wellness.	# Posted: 10 Mar 2008 17:04 For me, it's much easier to measure consistently with a bra on, because the bra squishes it all together and makes it a bit firmer. That makes it easier to get good tape readings. Of course, it wouldn't be quite accurate if the bra you're wearing has a bit of padding, etc.
Rachael M The Master Posts: 2316 Rachael M I am a triathlete trying to lose some weight so I can improve my times. I love traineo and the very motivational people on here. Basic info: 5'9", 22 years old, mechanical engineer :)	# Posted: 10 Mar 2008 17:51 I get my measurements with full clothing b/c I get measured by a male trainer. Haha. But it is before a work out at the gym so it's just a sports bra - aka no padding.
