Week 1-4 Pics

Porio · 03-27-2008

Alright. So these are my week 1 and 4 pics. I'm currently in my 6th week.

A couple of thing to point out. I finally got an accurate body fat measurement. Apparently the first time I got it done (months ago). The guy used the wrong system and with and 18.5 % he was definetely wrong.

Talking to him again this week. He determind I probably had 25+% I personally think it was in the high 26s prior to week 1 of my challenge. Anyways. My current bodyfat is 24.8%.

On to the pictures.

Week 1
Starting Weight: 230.3
Bodyfat: 26ish%

Week 4
Weight: 215
Bodyfat: 25ish%

Current: (Week 6)
Weight: 211
Bodyfat: 24.8%

Hey Porio.
Well done! I can see some improvement around the waste there (back photo).
Keep up the good work.

Looking good Porio..

That is some major drop in BF..did you see Hockeymom's post about "sucking your stomach up to your ears??" that was funny..you exhale, hold your breath,and tighten your abs..prior to snapping the photo..Dr. Oz says that is also the proper way to measure your waist..

You are making major progress is 6 weeks...good going..

Dr. Oz was making the point on Oprah that you don't have to measure with a belly full of air..

I also headed for the tape measure and take photos using his advice..We don't have to take photos and measurements all "slouchy looking", IMO..

Exactly... Do you think those cover people (anyone posing on just about ANY magazine cover) is just letting it relax? Heck NO!
I've been taking 2 sets of pics all along, one flexed and one relaxed. I see the biggest changes when comparing the flexed pix. It's funny how small everything was before I was serious about this.

Oh yeah, and nice work Porio!

Way to go, Porio--keep up the hard work!

Great job! In addition to what the others have said, I notice your face is really looking slimmer as well.
