Almost 50lb lost in 6 months [Pics]

danielpinkney

Started in October last year.. Below are the pics at 0, 3 and 5 months. Got just under a couple of weeks to go to get to the 6 month point. Have actually lost another 5lb since the picture on the right (and have maintained the muscle mass). Only 2lb to go to reach my ideal weight of 12st 12lb then its a matter of working on the body composition to reduce the fat down to around 10% (currently around 13-15%). Might end up putting on an extra few lbs at that point but as long as it's muscle I won't mind...

great photos - what was your starting bfat%? what was your weekly target fat loss?, did the target stay the same or did you change it?

I started at 30% 3 months ago - I am at about 20% now and was wondering how long it was going to take to get to 13- 15% I suspect it is another 3 months by the look of it.

Thanks for all the fantastic comments guys, really helps to keep the motivation going!!

In response to some of the questions… I started off around 28% body fat.
(Used http://home.fuse.net/clymer/bmi/ to calculate this btw). Here's the stats since October...



Never had a weekly body fat target, just concentrated on and all round exercise regime and a protein rich diet and used the scales, mirror and notches in the belt as a guide to how I was progressing. Came across this site as I needed to get a closer look at my calorie intake and see what type of foods/nutrients I should be consuming as I felt I was beginning to plateau (this is where the carb/fat/protein ration comes in handy). Must say not only has it helped kick started the fat loss again, it's made me far more food conscious - great to help maintain a healthier lifestyle.

For workouts I do running (I use the RunKeeper iPhone app - http://runkeeper.com/user/danielpinkney/profile) and started doing boxercise and circuit classes every week. I have a pair of powerblock dumbbells and a bench at home so was able to do quite a bit of strength work there. However I recently bought 'You are Your Own Gym' book and iPhone app which gives you a range of bodyweight exercises that can be done virtually anywhere without the need for equipment - this allows me to keep on top of things when it's difficult to get to the gym. To be honest I have only managed to get in three weight sessions at the gym since I joined about a month back! I try and split the week up so I do the following routine, although I do change it every now and again. I do cardio (running) every day if possible, although I'm beginning to scale this down and concentrate on strength work…

Monday: chest/Biceps
Tuesday: Legs
Wed: Abs
Thursday: Back/Triceps
Friday: Shoulders

Hope that sheds some light and helps a few peeps!

Thanks again for the comments. Made my day!
