My BF is 19.8% if that helps?

So in my case, should I carry on my diet but also strength train too? Also, would 10lbs be sufficient of weight loss. I get what you're saying but i want to lose weight first to give me the motivation. I hope you understand what I mean? For someone of my physique would 10lbs be noticeable. Most of my fat is on my abdomen…

Really? I thought only cardio is better for fat burn than weight lifting. It was also my understanding that gaining muscle and losing fat can't occur simultaneously as one requires a caloric deficit whilst the other needs a caloric surplus? Forgive me for my naïveté if I'm incorrect.

I understand but my point is wouldn't it be better if I lost excess fat before muscle gain? Otherwise, the fat would just cover any muscle I gain. My body fat percentage is 19.8%.

But how will I lose the fat by eating at maintenance? Also, my BMI is 23.41, quite close to 25 which is overweight. I heard the only way to expose abs is by removing the fat covering them? Whilst we're on the subject, as someone said before that 4lbs is unnoticeable, how much in my case will be? Can someone advise me how…

I put 14lbs because I didn't know how much to lose. By 14lbs, I don't mean 14lbs to get to a healthy weight as I'm already at one but to a figure that I'd be happy with. Right now, I'm quite chubby. It's not that noticeable when I have clothes on though. I'm expecting to have an athletic figure and hopefully make my abs…

Thanks, how much weight did you lose before you noticed an inch of your waist reduced? Also, what was your initial waist size if you don't mind me asking?

A 7 minute workout or the one I'm talking about? All exercises have 10second breaks in between Jumping jacks (30 seconds) Wall sit (30 seconds) Push ups (30 seconds) Abdominal crunches (30 seconds) Step ups on chair (30 seconds) Squat (30 secs) Tricep dips on chair (30 seconds) Plank (30 secs) High knees running on spot…

When I find the exercises getting easier, if I wear a backpack with books or weights or whatever, will that help add more resistance. I'm using this as a substitute for gym as I don't have the time for it.

I don't know if I should put this on another section but: Is the 7 minute workout any good? I'm losing weight and would like to tone up at the same time so I'm not just losing fat but making my muscles more visible and hopefully gain some. Would it be sufficient to do it twice a day? I did it a few minutes ago and I…

A large proportion is probably water loss. Also, he may have a lot more to lose than you, thus faster weight loss.

Which ones are accurate?

I don't have time for the gym at the moment. Would a combination of pressups, tricep dips, situps, crunches, static holds and other home exercises be sufficient (and putting on something like a backpack to add resistance) for toning up whilst losing fat? Also, I found a set of cheap calipers on Ebay:…

Ok, I've just been on http://www.fat2fittools.com/tools/mbf/ it's been recommended by many on here. It came up as 19.9% Body fat. If I'm 5ft8in and 154lbs, am I skinny fat?

I heard that men store most of their body fat on their belly. Since it's the belly and chest that's mostly where I'd like to lose, would these areas be the first to lose fat?

Oh, I'm sure I'm not that high. Is there a way to calculate BF% at home?

How much above your target weight were you?

What exactly is skinny fat? I don't know if I am or not? I have a normal BMI but am still fat yet don't appear skinny.

I keep hearing that weight lifting doesn't make one lose weight but just tones/builds muscle which would be redundant if there's fat covering them? Also, when I said I was skinny fat, I do have some muscle definition in my legs and arms (and abs to an extent). Is there a universal time for result being noticed?
