Well for better or worse I'm off the MC. I started on Friday (night) on the 29th, and finished up this Thursday (night) on the 4th. That clocks me in at about 6 days. The reasons I stopped were numerous

Out of curiousity

Do you know how your body fat will be measured for the position? Do they actually take out that one tool to measure the fat, do they use the scale method, or do they use the BMI method? If you calculate your BMI you may find it comes out with a different number than the scale.

Also remember it takes calories to maintain muscle, so that lost of muscle has cost you a bit though you do not mind. Might be a good time to get some weights to work with.

Actually I don't know the method, and I have thought about that. Since I don't know any other method atm to gauge myself, I'm doing best guestimates with what equipment I have. They could even do the army method by measuring various places, i.e. neck, waist, arm, etc., and calculate it via a formula the body sticks with pretty well. Not sure really.

RE: Weights. Yeah I've thought about that too. One of the things I forgot about to mention last night was an exercise routine. If I were to try again, I would definately instill some sort of walking, swimming or otherwise weight related exercise at the same time.

While I thought about this on MC, at the same time I didn't want to overexert myself in the process. Now that I know I'm actually "OK" on the process, as far as I can tell, I'd be more willing to extend myself in some fashion exercise wise. This of course assumes I do the things I've learnt of the process thus far, etc.

But nog, what you said. :)
