Same Weight- VERY different result (with pic).

Thanks for the pics, I have been stuck at 123lbs over a month. Although I KNOW the scale is not the only focus, it still bothers me some days.

I am wondering, how do you work to change % instead of weight? Is it heavy lifting? I don't have time or money for a gym membership, but do work out 6 days/week using FitnessBlender.

Wow! You have really reshaped your body, awesome results! Would love more info about your workouts.

Thank you! I did a couple things to change my body fat; but the two most important are probably my weight training schedule and my protein intake. I am lifting heavy, but at the same time, I was also lifting heavy in the left pic. This time I did more "traditional" weight lifting as opposed to "total body" workouts. I would work certain body parts a day. For example, I would do chest and shoulders one day, Legs & glutes on another day, Back on another day (you get the picture). This gave my muscles time to heal so they could grow efficiently. My protein intake was increased dramatically. Before, most of my calories came from carbs (and not necessarily simple carbs either like bread of pasta). I'm now literally eating at least my body weight in grams of protein a day (147lbs= 147g protein). I also make sure to eat a meal that is balanced between complex carbs and protein within an hour of finishing my workout. I also added fasted cardio in the mornings and made sure my heart rate was within a "fat burning" zone. I hope this helps!
