My Body Fat % in Dec'08

During Apr'08, I have the following figures - very unhealthy for a guy with small frame & height of only 166cm. Basically the figures screamed that I am OBESE and I didn't know anything about it.

• Waistline of 38 inches (By Waistline std I am OBESE)


• Body weight of 67-68kg


• BMI of 24.5 (By BMI std I am OVERWEIGHT)


• BF% of 30-31% (By BodyFat% std I am OBESE)

At the time that I started my blog in Oct'08, see my 1st posting on this blog. I have the following numbers

• Waistline of 34.5 inches (I have lost 3.5in on my waist. By Waistline std I am still ok )


• Body weight of 61kg


• BMI of 22.1 (By BMI std I am NORMAL)


• BF% of 25-26% (By BF% std this is BORDERLINE)

During Oct'08, I set the following Dec'08 target

• Waistline of 33.5 inches or 85cm (this will be the hardest to achieve!)


• Body weight of 59-60kg


• BMI of 21.6


• BF% of 23-24%

So, what is my ACTUAL result now in Dec'08? It's as follow

• Waistline of between 33.0-33.5 inches (so I achieved my target!!)


• Body weight of 61.4kg (didn't achieve target, but this is still good weight)


• BMI of 22.3 (By BMI std I am NORMAL, ok)


• BF% of 24.5% (By BF% std this is ACCEPTABLE, ok but could be better)

As you can see from the printout of the Tanita Bodyfat Analyzer TBF-401. I have got the following results for July08 & Dec08. Over the period of 6 months, I have lost a total body weight of 4.4kg (65.8-61.4). From the printout, I have lost 4.7kg (19.7-15.0) of body fat and gained 0.3kg (from 46.1kg to 46.4kg) of Lean Mess (muscle). But my body fat of 15kg is still outside the desirable range of 7.6-13.9kg.

Now I have another 1.1kg of body fat to lose, that will be my target for the next 6 months. My next target is to archieve

• - bodyfat of 20%
• - 32.5" waistline
• - body weight of around 62kg.

Thus, it's possible to lose weight and stay healthy if you put your mind to it and be persistant. Why don't you follow my example?
