One Month

Well I made it a month. Wasn't too hard to accomplish. I don't think I cheated at all, well at least not intentionally. I am overall pleased with the diet. The results weren't quite what I was hoping for, but successful nonetheless.

                       Start             3/12           3/19          3/26        4/2
Waist              41                 40            39              38            37.5
Chest              42                 41            41              40            40
Arms              12                 12             12              12            12
Legs               22                 22             22              22            22
Hips               39                 38             37              37            37
Total              156               153           151            149        148.5
Weight          194.8            193.6        189.6          185.6       186


Obviously I wasn't extremely happy with the results this week, but I do have an idea as to why I may have gained weight this week. I worked out more this week than I had in previous weeks. I did some strength training, and combining that with the loss in inches, granted only 1/2, makes me think that I did gain some muscle. 


My starting body fat percentage was 30.8%. Taking this with my starting weight my body fat weight was 60 pounds.
My current body fat percentage is 24.71%. This equals 46 pounds of fat. A loss of 14 pounds of fat and over 6% body fat is very encouraging. 
I'm going to continue eating this way....for the most part. I'm going to be a little looser about some things, and I'm going to experiment with certain foods to see if I can add them in. I am obviously still a ways from my goal of 155, but I feel and look better so I really can't complain. I'm also going to try and weight train more over the next month.

The pictures are a great showing of the success that I have had so far on the diet. I will continue to update throughout this process.
