Yay for me!

I started working on my body in February, almost exactly 4 months ago today.  Today I measured my body fat and I'm now at almost 14% compared to about 23% when I started!  I've also got my body to the point that I WANT to take my shirt off at the beach compared to being embarassed like I was before.

New goal is now to be around 10% body fat and continue to add the muscle and see if I can get more defninition in my abs.  The scale weight doesnt mean much to me now since I'm going to be measuring body fat and using the mirror as my gauges for success.

The cool thing?  I look better today at 36 than I did in my teens and twenties.

Darnit! Does everyone have good news today but me?

Well, good news! Hooray!

way to go!! An inspiration for us all (well, not for us all to take off our shirts... you know what I mean!)

I'm happy because my weight has remained exactly the same since April 20th.  Yes, nearly 2 months ago!  I knew I wasnt wasting my time at the gym because I could see some changes in muscle growth, definition, etc. so I figured I was adding muscle and taking off body fat but it wasnt until today that I actually confirmed it with the body fat measurement.

I'm also happy because my green trend line has finally started to go down a bit more instead of being perfectly flat which means the fat has finally started to drop off even quicker than before.  I know its not muscle loss too because I'm lifting the same amount of weight as usual and actually increasing the weight a bit lately.

lyndalyn, I'm not sure...judging by the picture in your profile I dont think the guys here would mind :)

heck, neither would some of the girls :)

oh, yeah, and way to go, kanddr.

Well here's to us all taking off our shirts ... someday!
