Hi, i have a lot of work to do on reducing my bodyfat, im 5 feet 6 inches and i really wanna be tight and see all my abs, whats a good bodyfat percentage based on this?

Hey all - feel bad writing this - I cant believe how bad I got - did really well up to my hols last Septemeber - prob within a stone or so of my total weight goal and was tightening up really well, now here I am about 25 pounds heavier , fatter and more unfit than ever - emotianal eater that’s me - when I have loads of other things going on I tend to forget about myself and let myself go which makes me feel even worse!

Back on track now tho - Goal is to drop 31 pounds YET AGAIN !! 

So…….had a fantastic holiday with the family to Egypt, all inclusive - did me NO good whatsoever, ate like a pig and continued to do so in the 3 months since i have been home - piled about a stone and half on and not been to the gym once….why am i telling you all this?  Coz u all need to know lol.

I’m back on the diet and back to the gym but i need to keep up with you guys for continued motivation and help you have all given me…

Wish me luck - New Years resolution I will get in those damn JEANS!

Just had to blog to say i acheived this - worked out need to lose more body fat and at least 2.4 lbs per week to hit my personal goal…

im 5 feet 6 and half inches, whats an ideal weight and body fat percentage (if i want to look ripped)

Ok i seem to be having a great week, sticking to low carb and high protein foods but im costantly hungry, have no motivation to go and train and then just feel like piggin out and eating chocolate and nuts and anything i can get my hands on - im never going to drop the weight by christmas and be in my UK size 8 jeans either
