Sunday, Week 14 (with Progress Update)

I'm very pleased with my progress again this week! I must be doing things the right way. It's good to see tangible results for all of the effort that I've been putting in. My total weight loss so far for the 13 weeks has been 16 lbs.

Yesterday I tried on some of my older clothes. I can now fit back into my size 6 clothes and some of my size 4 clothes (some of these I bought when I was in college). So, I gained some additional pants that I can wear to work. It's also nice to gain some new correct-fitting blue jeans. With winter coming up, they will be really nice to have on the weekends.

Progress:
Weight: 121.8lbs (137.8 baseline, 123.2 last week, down 1.4 from last week!)
Waist: 27.75 inches (31.5 baseline, 28 last week, down .25 from last week!)
Below Waist: 30.75 inches (33.25 baseline, 31.25 last week, down .5 from last week!)
Body Fat: 28% (34% week 5 baseline, 29% last week, down 1% from last week!)

I'm still using the body fat scale functionality. I now have some caliapers to measure with, but they require a 2nd person to take the measurements (have to measure on triceps, waist, and thigh). There's no way to do the skin fold and measurement at the triceps area without 2 hands. So, maybe I'll get to do that next week. Regardless, the trend even from the scale is an obvious one. I'm not sure if the numbers are accurate (I suspect they are not), but it's useful to see the downward trend.

Food:
Pre and Post-Workout: Chocolate IsoPure (110/25), 1/4 milk (20/2)
Breakfast: 1/2 Kashi Lean (70/6.5), 1/2 Milk (40/4), Apple (80/0), Yogurt (55/5.5)

Dinner: Chicken (110/22), Stir Fry Veggies (50/2), Baked Potato (110/4), Wine (150/0)
Snack: Big Boca Burger (100/18), Skinny Cow (100/4)

Congrats on getting down to a size 6! :D You are making awesome progress!!

I'm still on the fence about the body fat analyzer thing as well. Some days it says I'm down, other days it's way up. Also, it never seems to move out of the same range... I might look to upgrading my scale in the next few weeks, see if that improves things.. I want to get one of the ones that measures water percentage, etc..
