End of March, 2006 (I'll upload some shirtless pics soon and link them)


So, um, yeah. I still need to cut around 40lbs and I started lifting around september of 05. Any recommendations or BF% estimates?

straight on topless and profile pics will help us give you good estimates....its really hard to see "fat" through clothes

congrats on the loss...

1) Congrats on the loss, you look MUCH better!!! GREAT JOB! :tucool:

2) Can't tell bodyfat very well with your shirt on. :(

3) Say please. :)

Sorry about being terse, I wanted to post before class and was in a hurry. (I knew that if I didn't post it before class, I'd never get the guts to post pics again)

Anyway,
here are two recent (3-4 weeks old, its time for a new pick next sunday)

General Pics I'm uploading as I find them (Still looking for an old topless pic) - http://www.virtuatrainer.com/junktrunk/thumbnails.php?album=13

I really appreciate anything y'all can tell me. Like I said, I am weightlifting now but while I get stronger I don't seem to get bigger (I'm deadlifting and squatting 225, and benching 185 and can do 16 pull-ups continuously) although my veins are "poppy" if that's a word.

I'm curious, what do y'all think my BF% is? The tanita says 19.5%, Army calculators say 24%. Also, I'm pretty sure that part of the over-hang is loose skin (not completely loose skin, but I'm betting part of it is), do you think that'll go away when I lose another 40 lbs or so?

Please and Thanks You! :)

Nah, no worries, I was just being silly. :)

Those are better, but the loose skin makes it difficult to judge. I generally am not good at judging bodyfat anyway and I rarely attempt to because of this. But there are many people on here who are good at it; hopefully they'll chime in.

I'm glad you're weightlifting, that will make your results better.

Looks skin? I think it will go away after you drop more fat, but I think it takes time from what I remember reading. Do a search for some posts by Jeremy Likness on here, as I think he may have talked about this before. Also check out his website, he may have some articles on it (I think).

BTW, if you want to lay out your diet and training routine we'll give you feedback. :tucool:

Oh, I found some pics lurking from summer `05, I think they're from July. (I never really got into the habit of taking progress pictures. I wish I had done so. I'm starting that though)
