Guest guest Posted March 11, 2002 Report Share Posted March 11, 2002 Hello, Today is C1W9D1. I did my W8 assessment over the weekend, and I'm actually feeling pretty good, although there are some questions. My body fat % (caliper) was 18.9%, versus 26.5% on Day 0. My scale weight was 211 lbs, vs. 220 initially. This implies an 18.4 lbs drop in body fat and an increase in lean mass of 9.4 lbs. Not bad! I bought a pair of 34 " " incentive pants " , and was able to zip them up all the way, although they are way too tight to wear comfortably. I started C1 at 38 " , and have been wearing 36 " pants for a few weeks now. I took photos, but I may take them again tomorrow. I made the mistake of taking them in the evening, rather than my usual morning photos. I look somewhat " bloated " , nearly as bad as Day 0 and worse than Day 28 (week 4). It was right after a larger (although " legal " ) meal. I don't feel it was a true picture (at least I hope not!) ;-) I will post them one way or another this week. I have been trying to up the intensity on all my workouts this past week, adding 10 lbs. to all muscle groups/sets, and increasing my treadmill incline and speed. I think I'd been " coasting " a bit in weeks 6 and 7, and it contributed to my plateau. I ended week 8 strong, though, and have high hopes for 9 to 12. I also began using CLA, BetaGen and BetaLean HP about a week ago, and they seem to be helping as well. I am tolerating the BetaLean just fine, and it really does help my energy levels. (Sorry MP, and I'd warn anyone thinking of trying it to be careful and build up gradually, just in case.) --Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
