Heavy Weight

Week 16 progress report

I have lost 2 pounds this week. Bringing my total weight loss to 53.6 pounds and my current weight to 183.2. According to my goal box I will reach my next short term goal of 180 pounds in 8-11 days.

I am very close to my final goal, I believe my final weight is going to be some where around 175 pounds give or take a few pounds. Once I reach 180 I will re-evaluate and decide where to go from there.

Some interesting stats I added up this week. Amazing actually.

• I have burned a total of 117,423 calories exercising in the last 16 weeks.
• I have logged 350 workouts.
• My total time logged exercising including cardio, core and fight training is
• 12,910 Minutes
• 215 Hours
• 8.9 Days
• My average overall daily weight loss is .47 pounds per day or 3.32 pounds per week.
• I have not missed one single cardio session. Thats right 139 workouts in a row without missing one single time.

I'm anticipating my next before and after photo shoot this Thursday, going to be another dramatic change.

Week 15 progress report

Week 15 has come and gone. I lost 4 pounds this week bringing my total weight loss to 51.6 pounds and my current weight is now 185.2. Appears after last weeks small 1.8 pound loss I have normalized back to losing nearly a half pound per day.

I have reached my revised goal of 185 and my new goal is now 180. As I said in week 13's progress report I am setting each goal in 5 pound increments until I reach my desired leanness.

Had my BMR retested this week at the Metabolic Institute. My overall BMR has not changed, however my fitness level based on my V02 max has more than doubled. I'm in the best shape of my life right now. My cardio is incredible. I was not aware the human body could push itself to this level of cardio fitness. It's a truly amazing feeling. Much better than simply being muscular. Functional
fitness is the key.

The  Goal box has normalized. My average daily weight loss is nearly over .40 pounds again. It's now showing that I will reach my next goal of 180 in 13-16 days.

I updated my food menu with a few new items this week. Chicken, peanut sauce and long grain rice. Changed a couple of my normal meals up a bit, to add more variety to my eating schedule and reduce processed foods.

I added a new column to the excel weight log this week. LBM or Lean Body Mass while I don't think this field is that accurate using the Tanita scale I have. The scale uses Bioelectrical impedance analysis which is decent way of measuring LBM but has it's flaws. However I am still am interested in the change over time.

Week 14 progress report

This week was a little slower weight loss than normal. I lost 1.8 pounds this week. I unusually fluctuated up and down. I'm hoping this week was an anomaly but I have made an appointment to have my BMR re-tested along with some other blood tests to check my nutrient levels. My bodies needs may have changed with 50 pounds of weight loss. I want to make sure I am eating and exercising for optimal health and weight loss. Total weight loss is now at 47.6 pounds and I weighed in Saturday morning at 189.2.

I have made some additions to the "Goal Box" because my weight fluctuated so much early in the month when the averages were still being calculated it skewed my daily loss average. I have modified the date of goal to a range that shows the current months average and overall average as the range.

Week 13 progress report and goals revision

After 13+ weeks of sacrifice and hard work I am finally here. 191 pounds today, I lost 2.2 pounds this week bringing my total weight loss to 45.8 pounds.

This weeks photo shoot was great another dramatic before and after. Now that I have reached my first milestone goal of 190 pounds its time to re-evaluate and set new goals. After seeing how I look at 190 pounds I want to get leaner. I'm going to set the goals in 5 pound increments until I reach the desired leanness I want. So my new goal is now 185 pounds and my excel documents and graphs have been updated to reflect this new goal of 185 pounds.

Current projections in my weight loss log are showing it will take around 12 days to reach 185 pounds based on historical weight loss averages.

Photo shoot four! And we are nearing the finish line! This months photo shows a 15 pound difference between last months. I'm really leaning out and starting to show good muscle definition.
