Update on my progress... From Week 1 to Week 4 and now at Week 8

Interestingly my Tanita scales say i've lost 1 stone and am now at 12stone, whilst my body fat has dropped 2% in the 8 weeks and i'm still at 15%

I reckon about 12%, maybe a bit less.

Nice pants :lol:

I'd say 12 or 13, probably. Definitely looks less than 15.5. You will definitely have to get below 12 stone to get down to 10 percent unless you put on some lean mass.

What kind of back problem do you have. Others on the forum might have some good advice for you, either recommendations on what exercises might help, or recommendations on what exercises won't aggravate the condition.

Well, you've had a noticeable decrease in your underwear size.:lol:

Dude, you look great. I'm not a good one to estimate body fat, but you look to me like you've gotten below 10%. Great job.:tucool:

LMAO!!!

You know its hard to determine BF% exactly. I mean we all hold fat in different places. Just go with what the mirror tells you. If you like what you see, keep doing what your doing. If not change it up. I personally gave up the conquest of knowing my true BF%. Its what I look like, not how low my BF is.

Started at 13stone 7lb in August and i'm now 11stone 13lb today..

Scales tell me i started at 17% body fat and they tell me i'm 15% this morning...

I'm very very happy with my progress though. Going to continue to christmas and then reassess my goals and try to add some mass to my chest, shoulders and back in early 2008..

Resting from cutting for a couple of weeks over festive period then making a decision as to what i do in 2008..

Any suggestions?

Good job on the cut. Bad job on the clothing choice.

IMO, you're definetly at 10% or lower in the last pic, however.

Now, put on some muscle (and clothes :lol:)

Bulk next :tu:

Great job so far, now its time to fill out some areas before another cut.

Good timing to start a bulk over the holidays with the increased calories that likely occur...still gotta keep most of them clean though!

Good cut to about 11%, but be sure and pump hard iron.:bb:
