day: seven (weigh-in)

well folks it's that time of the week; my first weigh-in since i started my "quest".

first, my beginning measurements taken last week at the same time of day:

Body Weight: 202 lbs
Chest: 29 mm
Waist: 37 mm
Thigh: 33 mm

Body Fat: 27%
Lean Mass: 147.46 lbs
Fat Mass: 54.54 lbs

when i stepped on the scale tonight i was just hoping for something, anything to show that this was beginning to work. let's just say i'm quite happy with the results thus far!

Body Weight: 196 lbs
Chest: 27 mm
Waist: 32 mm
Thigh: 30 mm

Body Fat: 24.6%
Lean Mass: 147.78 lbs
Fat Mass: 48.22 lbs

i lost 6.32 lbs of fat and gained .32 lbs of muscle! this is a great start! i'm really excited that i was able to lose weight, yet keep muscle loss under control. i'm even more pumped now than i was when i started this last week! while i know that future weeks will not have the same kind of drastic loss, i'm glad to see that i'm moving down the right path.

pictures are available at the link on the right of the page; not a huge difference...yet.
