"I'm down 1.3% bodyfat in 4 weeks. Not crazy loss, but I'm not disappointed. That equates to roughly 2 lbs of bodyfat lost while keeping my muscle the same. My goal is to lose 5% in 12 weeks, which is .4% per week, so I'm running about a week behind. I had a rough week during week 3 so wasn't expecting any progress, but that's actually when I lost the 2 lbs!
I'm also doing a challenge through my local supplement shop. It's a 2 month challenge, and there's money on the line! Prizes for the top 3 winners! You get a point per fat lb lost and muscle lb gained. We've already had the initial weigh in, and this week is the first weigh in for points. Like I said, I lost 2 lbs of fat but no muscle, so I'm a solid 2.2 points. That puts me in 16th place so far this week. I know I can do better. I've been fairly consistent for a month already so I feel like that gives me a leg up on some of the other participants. I'm gonna do this healthy, slow but steady. I'm gonna do my best and hit the exercise hard. I need to get better about eating back my exercise calories.
The leader right now has 6.5 points. That's a lot. While I want them to succeed, I also want to win. It's a double-sided coin. I feel bad for some of the participants. One of them already has -6.8 points. That's gotta be discouraging and hard to come back from.
Like I said, I want everyone to succeed and meet their goals, but I also want to win, or at least place! I'll keep you updated!"
