Hi. In 8 months my weight went from 103 to 85kg and my bodyfat dropped from 38% to 24%.
Your blog inspires and motivates me to keep going. Reading your blogs lets me know that you definitely want to go below 22%, and just perservere. If you want it badly, it will happen. It worked for me, and I know it’ll work for you.
I’ve just invested in a Body Fat scale too and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. Keep up the great work, you’ve got me hooked.
Weekly Weigh In May 29th 2009
Before I stepped onto my body fat scales this morning I knew 100% that I had gained weight. The reasons behind this is because I’ve ate lots and lots of food and my workouts have suffered because I just haven’t had the energy this week for some reason to train hard like I usually do. I’m getting to know my body really well now and I know when I have gained or lost weight. I have just got on the scales and I have put on a whopping 6.4 pounds in body weight. But the good thing about this massive weight gain my body fat percentage has actually dropped down slightly from 22.4% to 22.1%.
The 22% body fat mark is really beginning to bug me now I just can’t seem to drop below this level. I’m happy that my body fat has dropped, but I’m not moving forward with this and it’s getting to me and sometimes I feel like throwing in the towel. Because to get the body that I so desperately want is going to take lots and lots of sacrifices. And over the long term have I got the will power and determination to succeed. I think I have but I’m beginning to question myself much more now than I use to.
I’ve got a countdown widget in the footer of the blog, which every few days I look at to motivate me. But each time I look at it, the days seems to be moving downwards very quickly. Don’t get me wrong I’ve still got plenty of time to get down to 10% body fat. But it’s going to take hard work and determination on my part if I’m to reach the target. It’s going to take me to a place were I haven’t been before so I really do need to start saying NO to my temptations.
The good thing about starting this weight loss blog though, is it’s keeping me motivated to keep losing body fat and weight. If this blog wasn’t here to motivate me, how quickly could I regain all the weight that I have lost so far this year. The answer to this question is a matter of weeks. I remember how I looked and felt then and I never want to return to those dark and gloomy days ever again. The clocks ticking and I’m wasting my life away having a body that I just don’t want. Its time to knuckle down and get motivated and finally get below 20% body fat once and for all.

Hi Katene thats a fantastic drop in body fat. I’ve lost around 8% BF so far this year, but I’ve still got a long way to go till I get to 10% body fat.
Thank you for your kind words and keep up the good work.
