Well I started out at 202 10 weeks ago, with 42.5% bf. 202x.425 = 85.85lbs of fat Now I am at 192 with 41% bf 192x.41 = 78.72lbs of fat Not too bad, until I look at my lean body weight which has gone from 116.15 down to 113.28. Boo! I have a (very)long term goal of 170lb at 20% which would put my lean mass up to 136. It is frustrating seeing that number go down when really I want it to go up! I hope that my running goals (marathon this fall) help with the overall weight loss, and lifting goals (120lb ohp, same dl) keep from me from lossing too much lean mass so I don't have so far to go over the winter attempting to really build that strength. I know that if it wasn't for strength training in my routines I would have lost more weight, but really I want to be stronger, not just thinner. Ah well. Venting over.
