Hola!

I've just started a new cardio/lifting regime with my personal trainer. I'm eating more than I ever have, I've got more energy and I am SO excited to burn the last of my fat.

A couple of questionssss...

How long am I looking at getting my body fat down from the 25% it is now, to around the 20% mark I am aiming for? Just as a rough estimate?

Any extra information you need please just ask.

Thanks!

    Obviously it's never this simple, but as a starting point reference...

    I'm just using these numbers as a reference since you didn't provide your actual numbers...

    If you're 135lbs @ 25% BF, that means you've got about 34lbs of fat and about 101lbs of non-fat.
    Getting down to 125lbs @ 20% would mean 25lbs of fat and 100lbs of non-fat, which is fairly reasonable.

    So to drop 10lbs while focusing on fat loss and muscle retention, you'l be looking at somewhere in the neighborhood of 30ish weeks.

    You're a hero! Thank you!

    I've ditched my scales at home but I'm doing a monthly check so I'll see how it goes!
