APRIL 26, 2009 - WEEK 6 RESULTS

Beginning weight - 150 / BMI 26.57 / Body Fat 42%
Current weight - 147 / BMI 26.04 / Body Fat ?
Goal weight - 125
Goal date - September 20, 2009

Here is an average of my daily food intake for this past week:

1788 Calories
150.3g Fat (75.6%)
41.7g Protein
27.2g Carbs
18.4g Fiber
8.8g net carbs, of which 0g came from veggies
I have lost 2% of my total body weight. I need to lose another 14.6%.

I have lost 12% of the 25 pounds I need to lose. At this rate of 0.6 pounds per week, I will reach my goal on December 27, 2009. Of course, I am hoping the weight loss will speed up a little bit as I get healthier! If I lose a pound per week from here on out, I will reach my goal on September 20, 2009.

The weight loss is minimal, but I've also been keeping track of my measurements on fitday, where my loss is a little more apparent. I measure every Sunday.

Neck 13.75 - 13.00 = 3/4 inch down
Bicep 11.75 - 11.75 = same
Forearm 9.00 + 9.00 = same
Chest 38.25 - 37.50 = 3/4 inch down
Midriff 33.00 - 31.50 = 1-1/2 inches down
Waist 31.50 - 30.25 = 1-1/4 inches down
Navel 39.25 - 36.5 = 2-3/4 inches down (the heart health zone, so this is great!)
Hips 42.00 - 41.00 = 1 inch down
Thigh 24.50 - 23.50 = 1 inch down
Calf 14.50 - 14.00 = 1/2 inch down

Total inches lost this week - 1/2
Total inches lost since starting - 9-1/2

Not a great losing week, but I am getting healthier, and that's the main thing, right everybody?

I am taking my supplements, drinking 75 oz. or more of water each day, and walking 2 miles on a treadmill at 3 mph 3 or 4 times per week. I do a Pilates class 2 times per week, and a Hatha Yoga class once per week. Next week or the week after, I plan to start weight resistance training on the circuit at the gym.
