Different calculators are telling me different things (calibrators gave me like 23%, the hand help machine gives me like 24, and some online caculators are giving me 25-27%) You can see my body in my pictures, and I'm playing it safe and saying I'm around 26-27%. I want to be around 20% by Sept 1st( When I'm scheduled to finish Insanity).
Is a 7% reduction in 6-7 weeks plausible?
Any tips?

    is that you in the photo? where is this 7% going to come from??

    i think 7% in 6-7 weeks would be hard even for someone in the obese range of 30% + body fat, much less for someone at a healthy body fat range.

    i'm still at around 29-32% body fat (depending on which calculator i use) and my goal between now and the end of august is to lose 2% body fat

    Ok thank you! Maybe I'll shoot for 2-3% by Sept. 1

    cool. we should start a group :laugh:

    i think the online calculators are a bit confusing, so I'm also using the measurements from my skin calipers (measured on my belly, upper back, inner thigh and front of thigh). if i can get at least a 2% reduction in all those sites I will be very happy :happy:
