TxAg_WxNerd Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Today marks my third week on the forum, so I figured I would do a quick progress report. Got on the scale and no big surprise still wobbling around 245 lbs., no big deal since I can tell my muscle mass is going up! So I checked my body fat and have drop to 22.1% from 26.6% in this short time. I am expecting even more progress because I stopped drinking sodas a week and half ago. This is a big deal given I have been drinking at least one a day for the last year and closer to 6 to 12 a day for years before that. This all got me to take a quick picture of myself to see if I could notice any changes. I did! Though, the best part was my wife, stating that my gut was really shrinking once she saw the difference.

wilfnelson Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 I have gone paleo and lost a kilo and a half, which for an ectomorph is a lot, I've levelled out again at 56.7kgs and now I have a six pack and dip between my pecs thanks to lost body fat.

Maledictus Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Nice one. That body fat drop is impressive (and it reminds me I really need to get mine measured accurately), "Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself" -- TolstoyNot sure if it was buzz or woody that said it though.

TxAg_WxNerd Posted May 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Yes recording body fat sure makes seeing progress so much easier. Thanks everyone for your words. Level 3 - Ranger Current Challenge: At It Again! Link to comment
TxAg_WxNerd Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 So today I stepped on to a scale. A bit nervous I might add given the fact that I have been fairly stationary since my surgery two weeks ago. Guess what finally dropped below 240! I know weight isn't that good of an indicator for progress but given I was stuck in a chair for the better part of those two weeks I figured it was enough. Needless to say, I am fully motivated to get back to my fitness routine! Though, the doc told me to take it very slow. A little run, 3 sets of 20 body weight squats, 3 sets of 20 push ups, yep that seems like taking it slow. Level 3 - Ranger Current Challenge: At It Again! Link to comment
