Weight Loss Results: Month 8

A few weeks ago I had a follow-up body composition done by my trainer. We then talked about the results. It was so helpful. If you are not working with a trainer, I recommend doing this. I no longer work with my trainer on a regular basis but I do check in with her every few months or so to check my progress.

Starting Weight 6/11/09: 158 lbs -- Current Weight 2/20/10: 134.2 lbs

Total Loss: 23.8 lbs


Starting Body Fat 6/11/09: 36.4% -- Current Body Fat 2/20/2010: 29%

Total Change: -7.4%


BMI 6/11/2009: 28.9 -- BMI 2/20/2010:24.5

Total Change: -4.4


Starting -- Current -- Loss

Chest 36 -- Chest 32.5 -- 3.5
Bust 30 -- Bust 29.25 -- .75
Waist 33.5 -- Waist 28.25 -- 5.25
Hips 40.5 -- Hips 33.5 -- 7.00
Abs 35.5 -- Abs 32.25 -- 3.25
Thigh 26 -- Thigh 22.5 -- 3.50
Bicep 12 -- Bicep 11 -- 1.00


Total Inches Lost: 24.25

My trainer shared with me that though my weight loss was a good; My body fat change and inches lost were excellent. That's where I think working with a professional can be so helpful....I didn't realize that was true. She said its very hard to move body fat percentages. Measuring my body fat and inches lost have been so helpful during this weight loss journey...especially when I plateaued on weight loss (but saw progress in other areas).

Yes, I still have progress to be made -- I'd like to get to a normal body fat percentage (18-24%), but I am very happy with these results! She told me that I should be very proud/pleased.
