As i continue to lose weight i hit a new lowest weight ever in my life! Today i weighed in at 56.1 kg or 123.7 lbs:)

My goal is 123 lbs by Nov 4 - 1st wedding anniv - and 120 lbs by Dec 5 -my 27th birthday!:) By the looks of it i might get to the goals little faster:)

Yesterday  I walked for 1 hr -pretty fast pace and covered abt 4-5 miles –don’t have a pedometer but I know very well the route.

BF (estimated U.S. Navy):

Site 1: 21% (based on above measurements) http://www.he.net/~zone/prothd2.html

Site 2: 20.91% http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/bfb

As you notice the BF is calculated on 2 different websites. of course there is debate around this method of calculating the BF but i’ve been using the same sites for a while so there is constancy. So, overall, i’ve lost both inches and body fat and i’m very happy:)
