Week 3 complete!!

Half way there!!!

At this pace my total weight loss after the 6 weeks should be almost 13 lbs.

Current weight is 215.6 lbs and 26.8% body fat. That is a total weight loss of 6.4 lbs and 1% body fat.
My total fat loss is 3.9 lbs. I have also lost 2.5 lbs of lean body mass.

According to the Bowflex program I should be gaining muscle mass not losing it, but from everything I have read you need to eat more than the program allows to gain muscle mass. Most experts would agree that it is very difficult for most people to lose fat and gain muscle mass at the same time.

Now to be fair to the program I am not measuring my body fat percentage by the book I am using my scale that has a body fat percentage readout. I think I will take my body fat measurements the way Bowflex recommends, and see what the result are next week.

Weight and body fat percentages aside, I feel great. My pants fit better, there is more room in my shirts and I feel more muscular.

I have not posted my starting measurements and my current measurements. I will take my new measurements and post those this week
Last weeks biggest struggle was drinking the 5 liters of ice cold water. This week is 5 1/2. I think half your weight loss is from the 10-15 trips to the washroom each day.
