Long Time, Less Me

- %Fat = 17.2%
- %Fat free mass = 82.8%
- Fat mass = 31.811 lb
- Fat free mass = 152.767 lb
- Body mass = 184.578 lb
Total Change:
- %Fat = -18.7%
- %Fat free mass = +18.7%
- Fat mass = -57.99 lb
- Fat free mass = -7.69 lb
- Body mass = -65.68 lb
- Body volume = -32.397 L
Analysis: It has been 2 months since my last post but I have held true to the diet. I wanted to be at 15% body fat by the end of December. It doesn’t quite look like I will make it. I am not too disappointed though considering I have lost close to 70lbs with about 60lbs being straight fat.
Looking at my total changes the thing that jumps out at me the most is the body volume I have lost. 32 liters = 8.4 gallons. It’s like I had 8 milk jugs hanging off of my body that are now gone!
Going forward I think I will probably get to 15% body fat about mid-January. From there I plan to just keep losing weight. My brother, Grant, said that he wants to box me once we weigh the same. So I am looking forward to that.
UNDER 200lbs!

- Fat free mass = +0.844 lb
- Body mass = -4.841 lb
Analysis: It’s been a while since my last post, but I am finally under 200lbs! Haven’t been this light since maybe 8th grade!
Noel got me a BodyBugg for my birthday. It helps keep track of the calories I have burned from day to day. I am not sure that I have eaten less knowing this, but knowing how many calories I burn each day and how many I eat each day definitely helps. I have averaged about 2500 calories burned each day and only about 1500 consumed. From those numbers it is no miracle that I have been losing weight.
On a separate note I am on track to reach my goal of 15% body fat by the end of December. I hope Thanksgiving and Christmas don’t get in the way too much!
And Another One

- %Fat = 23.5%
- %Fat free mass = 76.5%
- Fat mass = 47.514 lb
- Fat free mass = 154.314 lb
- Body mass = 201.828 lb
Change:
- %Fat = +0.2%
- %Fat free mass = -0.2%
- Fat mass = -0.796 lb
- Fat free mass = -5.021 lb
- Body mass = -5.817 lb
Analysis: Not so happy about losing 5lbs of muscle but that could be due to more long distance running, or to the fact that I am pretty sure I didn’t drink enough water on the day of the weigh in. Either way I understand that these things will happen I just don’t want them to become a trend.
How far I have Come
Total Changes: since 3/3/2011
Imagine 5 and a half gallon jugs… That is how much fat I have lost!
A Few More Pounds

- %Fat = 23.3%
- %Fat free mass = 76.7%
- Fat mass = 48.31 lb
- Fat free mass = 159.335 lb

Change:
- %Fat = -0.3%
- %Fat free mass = +0.3%
- Fat mass = -1.556 lb
- Fat free mass = -2.052 lb
- Body mass = -3.608 lb
Analysis: Pretty solid loss from one weigh in to the next. I have been working out pretty hard lately too. A few weeks ago I ran 6 miles without stopping. Which is the longest distance I have ran at one time. I start school this week and that brings forth plenty of temptations, but my roommates have been good with helping me keep to my goals.
Long Time No Post
So its been a while since I last posted but I had two weigh ins since last time. One negative one positive.

- Body mass = -6.821 lb
Analysis: So between 7/14/11 and 7/28/11 I made some changes in my diet for the bad. I was pretty upset when I got those results back because I thought the changes I made would be fore the better but looking back at it I probably made too many changes and ended up making some mistakes.
Going from week 7/28/11 to 8/11/11 I saw the biggest change to date in almost every statistic so after seeing those results I was pretty excited. I just need to remember how I have gotten this far and keep doing those things. It hasn’t been easy thus far but I have had help from friends and family!
