While some women's bodies can handle very (sometimes extremely) low body fat percentages, the vast majority of women, especially those who exercise regularly, need at least 20-22% body fat in order to menstruate properly. After the effects of too little body fat become obvious, it can take as many as six months to regain normal periods, during which time the bones are robbed of calcium, as oestrogen (the primary hormone involved in regulating menstruation) is vital for calcium absorption in women. I know that some methods of body composition testing are not entirely accurate, so your actual body fat percentage my be a little higher (or lower) than 20%, but please be careful. Remember that it is better to be safe than sorry! I thought I would leave a comment on body fat percentage since I am currently experiencing problems with my own.

Thanks for showing us what you look like! You are so pretty! Good to know about the protein powder. You should pat yourself on the back. It's Saturday and you could've very easily gotten out of working at all, but you kicked butt! I hope you feel great for it. Have a great Easter! Hi!

You should pat yourself on the back. It’s Saturday and you could’ve very easily gotten out of working at all, but you kicked butt! I hope you feel great for it.

Have a great Easter!
