8-week progress

[Guest guest]

I measured 8 week progress this morning and I am mostly pleased. I

am posting it here for my record and accountability.

Using all 4 caliper measurements, my body fat is 11.92%, down 4.48%

from day 1.

So according to the 11.92% measurement, I have lost 9.1 lbs of fat

and 0.9 lbs of muscle. I doubt that I lost muscle and it is likely

the margin of error for body fat. Just to be safe I may increase my

calories a little.

My 12 week goal is to get down to 8%. The first 4 weeks I lost 1.2%,

and the second 4 weeks, I have lost 3.28% fat for a total of 4.48%

for 8 weeks. The fat loss does appear to be gaining momentum.

I really think I can meet my goal of 8% or come very close. Once I

reach that goal, I will be interested in gaining muscle and will be

seeking advice at that point about adjusting my calories to gain

muscle.

As far as inches, since the beginning, I have lost:

Waist- 5 inches (3.5 at 4 weeks and 1.5 more at 8 weeks)

Hips- 1.5 inches (0.5 at 4 weeks and 1.0 more at 8 weeks)

Thigh-0

Calves-0.5 inches

Chest-0.75 inches

Neck-0.25 inches

Forearm-0

Upper arm-GAINED 1 inch

Everyone is different. I seem to be able to only take off fat at

this point and that is good since that is my primary goal.
