BFL 8 week results
Ha! After my little meltdown earlier this week. I was surprised by my weigh-in and measurements this AM.
These are my results from start, 4 weeks & 8 weeks (all in inches):
Bust: 31.5 /31.5 /31.5
Chest: 28 /28 7/8 /29
Arms: R10.25 L10.5 /R10.25 L10.25 /R10.5 L10 3/8
Waist: 26 /26 /25.5
Stomach: 31.5 /30.25 / 30
Hips: 35.5 /35.25 /34.75
Thighs: R20.5 L20.5 /R20.25 L20.5 /R20.5 L20.5
Calves: R12.75 L12.75 /R12 5/8 L12.75 /R12.75 L12.75
Weight: 117lbs /118 lbs /118.5lbs
BF%: 24.5% /24.25% /23.75%
Fat lost since beginning: 1 lb
Muscles gained since beginning: 2.5 lbs
Now, I have no idea how accurate all this is because the telling points for me are my hips and waist. I checked and rechecked my hips and I am sure the new measurements are accurate (going around my widest points). However, stomach and waist are a crap shoot as I seem to balloon up and down like nobody's business.
Hopefully my last four weeks will show some definitive progress in my waist, stomach and hips. I hope my before and after pics will show some definite progress too. I really can't tell because I am so in the thick of it all, if you know what I mean.
I really wish I could do a caliper test because I think that would be more accurate. But I will have to settle for being as accurate as I can with my measuring.
In any case, I am happy that today's results show a downward trend in BF%. I was sure that I had actually increased BF% when I was so discouraged earlier this week.
