Hi,

I have been using this website to track my calories/macros for a couple months now. It's great.

I have lost 20 lbs of fat in less than 2 months! I weight about 153 and I still think I am about 17-18% body fat.

My goal is to get to 10% and then I will start bulking!

    Hi Kenny, and welcome!

    Glad to see you are doing well with your diet. However, I would recommend you start lifting NOW. There is no need to wait to lose weight, to start lifting. You need to start to lift in order to keep your muscle. It will be hard to take off body fat if you do not lift. Because your body will burn off muscle tissue not fatty tissue.

    Good luck with everything, hope all goes good!

    My fiance worked with a personal trainer to reduce his body fat for 12 weeks. Got it down to 14.8%. Now he is working on building muscle over the winter. He did weight training throughout, but far more cardio during the 12 weeks. It was a body builder program.

    Thanks for the advice. I don't recall mention anything about my workout routine :P.

    I do lift - in fact that is pretty much 95% of my fitness right now - aside from occasional light walking once in a while - but for all intents and purposes, I have done virtually zero cardio in losing these 20 lbs of fat.

    Not sure if this is directed toward me - but no that is not my mom's name.

    Very true Kenny. That was my mistake.


    I just assumed since you said.. "bulk up" that you had not been lifting. Glad to see you are!
