week #4 : this week

Not a bad week, especially considering it is easter and a bank holiday. Most of the loss was in the last 2 days. I have dropped the treadmill in the gym to do more weights. I hope that this will halt the lean mass loss (if the fat % are to be believed).

start weight:   91.0kg
after week #1:    88.8kg
after week #2:    85.8kg
after week #3:    84.2kg
after week #4:    83.8kg 
week 4 loss:  0.4kg 
total loss:   7.2kg

The weight loss has slowed. This is to be expected after a 4 week period. I also had 2 days this week (Tue & Fri) where normal routine could not be followed. Maybe this also contributed to the % lard improvement.

start % lard:   23%
after week #1:   22%
after week #2:   22%
after week #3:   21%
after week #4:   18.6% 
week 4 loss:   2.4% 
total loss:   4.4% 

The  % lard figure is still finally encouraging. The firs target has been hit. Out of curiosity, I weighed myself after work, but before dinner (when I am normally hydrated) and I saw 16.8%.

The mass (yellow) and fat % (red) graph is below, also showing linear trend lines (detailed charts from the links at the top of the page)...
