Finally, after pushing through a little plateau in fat loss, I am down to 200 lbs... Damn, it has been a long road to come down from 204lbs (I posted my results for 204 lbs back in friggin April!!! http://www.elitefitness.com/forum/showthread.php?t=391043 ).
Since then, I plateaued, went on a bulking experiment, gained a ton of weight, I then had to drop again... to get to the point where I started (albeit a bit leaner) and then continue to drop weight.
Seems the plateau is over, this week has been an exceptionally good one (so far 2.6 lbs gone).
So, this pretty much an important phsycological milestone for me, since I have not weighed 200lbs or less, probably in 10 years.
My next big milestone is hitting 20% BF, which will put me in the "final streak" to shed the last 10% (which I KNOW will be the hardest of all, but who's quitting). I should be hitting that 20% by the end of June.
If you have read my posts before, you know my Primary goal for this cutting thing is to be single digit bf%. I originally thought I could do it still this year, and I will try as hard as I can . However, looking at the trend in my graph, I can tell it might not be possible in one go. A more appropiate approach might be to continue to slim down all the way to 175lbs and at that point do a VERY clean bulk (because at 6 feet tall, I would be a skinny mofo @ 175lbs). If everything goes well (which never does), I should reach 175lbs @ 14% in September (at least that is my aim)
Opinions on that last paragraph???
Anyway, a little recap on the results so far:
My initial stats, as of 13.09.04 were:
264 lbs
40% Body Fat
x 1000
158,4 lbs LBM
105,6 lbs FAT
After 8.5 months I am at:
199.98 lbs
22.5% BF
155 lbs LBM
45 lbs FAT (SHIT!!!!)
So results after 8.5 months of straight cutting (with a little 2 weeks bulk pause) are
64 lbs lighter (94,66% of that weight lost is fat)
I will post a monthly progress report (with graphs and updated pics) in 10 days... I just felt so good this morning I could not wait 10 days to post this!!!
Cheers
