Weight: 197 (-15.5) Back to where I was before last week's refeed..

279g chicken breast (2 meals)
60g spinach
150g picco de gallo

Great job to get down to 197... Are you starting to see changes in the mid section?
I think I'm 2 weeks ahead of you in the RFL progressions. I can tell you not to worry about the diet break. Just keep measuring (I know you're the measuring type) your food, up the carbs and protein just like Lyle's calculator tells you to, and you'll be fine. You'll put 3, maybe 4 lbs back on, but the waist should stay steady.
Are you starting to see changes in the mid section?
Yup, definitely.. I can't stop rubbing the spot right below my sternum, where my belly bump used to start..
When I get down to a consistent 195 I'll do another round of girth measurements, pics, and calipers..

When I went on a 2 week break before starting RFL I actually didn't measure anything.. I just went camping and ate whatever.. I put on about 6 lbs..
This time I'll keep going to the gym, and will eat fairly clean (maybe 2-3 treats, like ice cream or pie, per week), but will be measuring and keeping track, making sure I get to at least maintenence, but not WAY over..
When I go to work at 5 in the morning for my 2 dayshifts I don't weigh myself, as I like to do it consistently, which is 9 am, as soon as I get up, after the morning pee..
So I don't include weight in my log for those 2 days..
I also like to be surprised..
As of this morning (9:30), I'm 193.5..
Gonna see about getting progress pics done today, before my refeed tomorrow.. Trying to set up an appointment to get my fat measured.
Lookin' good, Dougz! And nice to see you've also paid attention to your leg-muscles!

Doug, throw a couple of this pictures up to Lyle's site. I'm not sure who you have operating the calipers, but 19%? I can't see that you have a whole lot to pinch. Did they give you the skinfold measurements? The upper abs are starting to come in. I'm thinking more like 16% to 17%, not 19%.
I'm not buying the 19% body fat measurement. Mostly, because if you're at 19% then I'm at 18-20% as well ....and I'm just not willing to accept that!
No, me either.. With the Creatine throwing it off, I'm guessing 17-18%

Interesting, they use the 4 site test. If you were under 30 years old, the same total would give you 16%. Because your 30 - 39, you get another 3% added. I'm thinking closer to 16%, than 19%; but again, if you're brave, post on Lyle's site and see what they think.
