Half-Way There – 180lbs and Counting

Posted on 01. Aug, 2010 by Jay in Weight Loss

I broke out the OMRON body fat analyzer today and it read 12.2% body fat!

My goal is 8% body fat by September 12th. My starting body-fat was around 15% which was measured June 13th, 2010. So in a little over a month and a half I have lost 2.8% body-fat, and I went from 191 pounds to 180 pounds today.

It seems as I lose weight, I lose body fat. That sound okay, right? Well to me it’s somewhat discouraging because I only want to lose five more pounds and that’s it. Once I reach 175 pounds I want to stay at that weight and just build from there. My trainer told me that in order for that to happen (lose body fat and stay the same weight), I would I would need to finely tune what I eat, specifically no junk foods and only the foods my body needs. So I guess no more midnight ice cream.

I don’t want to be a stick either. I actually want to be built in the long run and I want to use 175 as a base to build from. It’s a balancing act it seems, a sort of challenge.

I like challenges.
