I am coming up on a year doing pilates now and love it. I have found the exercise program that I love and would do purely for pleasure. Today I got my body fat percentage measured for the 1st time in my life, via hydrostatic weighing, and was pleasantly surprised to learn my percentage is 4% lower than predicted from my BMI of 29 (was 31 when I started!). My fat free mass index is 19, which is high for a woman. I don't do any other exercise regularly and have a sedentary job so that's all pilates at work! So pround of myself for building all the lean mass!!!

I recently started taking 2.0 with an instructor I hadn't before and she teaches short spine, which the other flow 2 instructors I'm used to don't. I have done the move a few times now and am getting the hang of the articulation part but struggle to get my legs up to the top. The instructor suggested I hold the posts to make it easier and that has helped but still a struggle. Any suggestions? I don't have a reformer at home but if there are prep exercises I can do with a mat I can practice those at home. I also have a magic ring.

In the Handmaids's Tale it's really the men that are infertile, which is why June takes up with Nick to get pregnant. But the testaments shows that many women, both in Gilead and Canada, never get their periods. There also appears to be a lot of miscarriages, so the men clearly have sperm capable of insemination. Did Atwood decide to switch it and now we just accept that it's really the women? Or at least that is was always as much the women as the men?

What dose did you need to reach before you noticed a reduction in food noise and hunger?
