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.0 -

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!0 -

Yeah the last 3 months have been a bit slow compared to the first three. Lost just under 3 stone in the first three months and just over half a stone since then. Obviously it gets harder as you have less body fat to lose but did think it would be a little quicker. That was one of the reasons I looked and found this site... I felt I was beginning to plateau and thought it best to take a closer look at my nutrition and food intake and get the right balance for the level of exercise I'm doing. Seems to have worked given I've lost a couple of pounds in four days. It's also making me more aware of my water intake and am consistently drinking 3-4 litres per day. Daresay it will be ten times harder to get down to something like 10% body fat but I'm up for the challenge0 -
