AS the first four weeks come to a close I have had some pretty pleasing results. GOt a few days left so hopefully acheive my first target of 20% body fat.

Anyway during this plan my weight has stayed pretty constant substituting fat mass for fat free mass First weigh in was 92.7kg. Weight in 3 weeks later 92.2kg

At the start of exercising i had body fat of 34% before starting this plan in about 2 weeks dropped it to 31%. So at the start of the plan was 31%..... 3 weekes into it i am now 23% BF want to hit 20% at the end of the 4 weeks. My Fat free mass has risen from 63.7kg to 71kg.

I take the reading at the same time in the afternoon before weight training and make sure i am hydrated by ensuring my pee is almost clear.

I took some photos at the start and took some last night and i am pleased to see some differences especially flatter stomach, hip bones almost vascularity across arms and top of chest)

I have not even stuck to the plan regiously with a blow out weekend in Thailand (but did surf for 3 days for at least 3 hours a day, one day i think was 6 and squeezed in a run)

Next steps for me..... hit 20% (hopefully very soon)

After that it will be 14% then..... who knows

As far as the plan goes, it gets to decision time. I have got used to eating no carbs, but i may take to eating plan B with carbs after training to help muscle build up and repair or go to one relaoding day.

Will let you know.

Just on another point i really think having a personal trainer helps keep you motivated... more out of fear of jumping on scales and seeing adverse results standing in front of him and hitting those last reps on the weights and pushing to failure, i think the same would be with a mate on the challenge and to spot you but I am new to the gym here in singapore and yet to find a training partner.
