Consistent and steady steps forward. That is what I have been experiencing. Each week I am melting off the fat and building more muscle. I expected to have a decrease in strength but I really have not experienced that either.
I am also very proud of the fact that last night I benched my body weight (215 pounds). Well, technically over my body weight. Today I weighed in at 214 pounds and 44.1% bodyfat. Although I really love the pounds dropping, I am most excited about the bodyfat loss. I have been carrying way to much the past few years and its time to get it down to the teens. Since the beginning of this contest I have dropped 7.4%. I know that I will be in the healthy low risk zone by July. What a wonderful feeling.
I am starting see more and more definition to some of my muscles. I cant wait until they show up on the pictures.
Here is this weeks pictures:

Thanks Maddi. I read you had a rough day yesterday. Today is going to be better. You have overcome that emotional eating habit. Dont let it try to come back. Your better than that. Weigh in is going to be a breeze today. I believe in you.

Dare, you are doing great. Isn’t it funny how different people’s bodies are? Besides the obvious man/woman difference, we carry our weight differently and shed the weight differently.
All of your pictures show good improvement but the front shots the difference is amazing. My pictures show fair improvement but you see it best in the side pictures.
