Bump for bf%, posted my request back in November

Bump ♥ Though, I'd almost like to resubmit, either by PM or here as its been a bit and I'd like to use my most recent to gauge where to go from here.0

Resubmit if you need to. We are looking at this thread right now and will get caught up.0

I'll give it a go I'm getting ready to start Mark Lauren's program next week, so it will be neat to see where I'm at now vs a few months from now. And ignore the wall behind me-we're patching it in preparation for repainting lol.

Hi 44, 6'3", 214lbs. Just in case it makes a difference, I had a couple surgeries a couple years ago. So I have a 12" scar vertically from belly button down, and 3" scar horizontally next to it. My lower abs were sliced up during the surgery.
TIA

In the 12-13% range. Doubt you're below 12 and I don't think you're 14.0 -
Sorry I'm posting again its been awhile, I'm curious how much progress I've made. Thank you both for all your do!

Somewhere in the low to mid 20% range, below 25%.
Excellent progress by the way. We went back and looked at your old photos and you've really kicked *kitten*.0 -
Thanks guys! That's lower than what I expected, not quite sure what to do with it
Since I took the pictures in November, I've stopped walking and running outside (was doing around 6-8 miles a week of the two combined at the time pictures were taken I think), started doing Mark Lauren's Body by You strength training program 3 days a week and then I got a mini trampoline for Christmas so I'm now jogging/'jump roping' on that for 30 minutes, twice a week (wearing 1lb weights on wrists for jump roping. part).
My weight has also dropped a bit since November and seems to have settled in the 117.5-119lb range. I'm ok with where I'm at right now/how I look and I'm loving Mark's program and the trampoline , so I guess I'll just keep at it 0 -
Yay!! Thank you both so much ♥. Typically, what % for women would be ideal for a bulk? From what I've read, the lower BF % when doing a bulk, the more optimal muscle growth ratio to fat? I didn't want to dip too much lower weight wise, but I'm still patiently awaiting my bf to lessen on my stomach (more vanity than that is a concern for bulking, really). I'm still in a healthy range to dip down another 10 lbs, if needed.0

I would generally recommend to start a bulk at under 20%, unless someone has very low muscle mass, which you do not.0 -

Wouldn't start a bulk over 20% bodyfat. I'd keep cutting a bit further and evaluate again around the 7-10lb mark.0 -
Eeek! Great thank you! I will keep chugging along. I'm just like silly fan girl happy to get advice from you both. I would be lost without this group.0

If it's OK, I'd like to PM pics for another estimate, now that I've been lifting for a bit
Should I send a new PM with link to pictures?0 -

Put your IMG's into lower case and you'll be good to go.
Thanks. I've corrected and re sized them now.0 -
Ok.....deeply unflattering photos ahoy. I reckon your guess on here will be as good as anyones - I have had two major surgeries on my stomach, both times involving a laperotomy. Where the 'hole' now is, my stoma used to be and it had a hernia behind it for some time, hence all the loose skin. You can literally pull at the skin on my lower stomach, which is why I haven't used my abs to estimate my BF%, also, I started 5 stone heavier. 6'0" tall, 166lbs.

No, sorry. We are just really behind. We will get caught up soon (hopefully).0
