Body weight was a tick over 260#, sans clothes. BF was over 22%.

I post these picture as a daily reminder as to why I need to do more, eat less, and train harder so I can live longer and enjoy life and all that it brings. I want the back fat gone. I want to see my abs. No more man boobs...
I started really watching what I ate on a daily basis, keeping it as tight as I could while allowing myself a cheat day once a week to keep me sane.
I purchased a digital scale and body fat analyzer to monitor during my journey to much improved physical fitness and health. My goal is to be at 10% BF on my 40th, 7/26/09. I figure I have to get down to a body weight of 232 lbs to be near my goal, so I will have to lose 28 lbs in 8 months.
I have tracked it weekly so far:
2.27.09 253.2 lbs 20.9% (woo hoo, under 21%!!!)
*** Started low carb diet this week Monday 2/23/09 ***
2.21.09 255.3 lbs 21.6%
2.15.09 253.8 lbs 21.0%
2.8.09 255.0 21.0%
2.1.09 256.8 21.1%
I can definitely feel and see the difference so far in the past 2 months, especially in my clothes/pants. I want/need to be able to get into the size 36 pants I used to many years ago. Increasing my protein intake will be the key, fueling muscle growth and enabling recovery. After 2 months of CrossFit my strength, speed, and overall fitness have really improved, but depending on the WOD I will still need to add 20-30 of calorie burning walking to my daily routine.
Have Fun! 3-2-1 GO!
