I don't have pictures because DD accidentally deleted all my pictures on the camera and i haven't gotten to taking new ones.

I was disappointed when i got on the scale after 4wks of hard work to have only lost 3.5lbs. HOWEVER, i just took my Body Fat % and the results are amazing!!

Week 1

weight 199.7
body fat % 30.2%
Lean Body Mass 139.4lbs
Fat Mass 60.3lbs

Week 4

Weight 196.2
Body Fat % 24.87%
Lean Body Mass 147.26lbs
Fat Mass 48.74lbs


SO, that means i lost 11.5lbs of fat and gained 7.8lbs of muscle!!!! MWAH!!! Now i don't feel so bad about that 3.5lb loss

Now i know why they say taking measurements and body fat % is so important! Oh, and i'm down a pants size, almost 2!!!!

I'm so excited! I know i probably wont see such drastic results in the muscle gain department from here on out. I figure it was such a big jump because i went from NO weight lifting in years to hard lifting 3x a week. I've always known that i gain muscle fairly quickly and easily!

Wahoo Body for Life!

That's brilliant! It's really good that you measured body fat too, otherwise you might have made the mistake others have by thinking you hadn't made much progress because of focusing too much on wieght. Dropping clothing sizes is really cool too, it's a fantastic feeling - especially if you still have old clothes that used to fit you, and now do again.
