1 year progress

[Goldprospector]

What is strange, is the first picture, which was taken in Feb 04. I weigh 230 and was at 17% BF (according to my calipers)

The second is from Feb 05 and I weigh 243 and am at 12.8% BF (according to my calipers) But the second pic...I look a ton smaller! I guess it just must be camera angle and such stuff. I am happy with my progress though, and everything measures larger, other than the waist, so I guess that is all that counts.

The reason you weigh more and look smaller is because lean muscle is much heavier than fat. Just imagine the damage people make to themselves when they look like a fat balloon.

If I knew how to post these pics up in the thread without the link...I would, but I just don't remember how.

Oh and forgot to tell you. Nice improvement!!. You lost a lot of fat.

Well i can't see anything but I'll go out on a limb and say you look great (because I like your name - and I'm a geologist)

you look a bit higher than 12% in pic 2. More like 15-16% and more like 20% in pic 1. Easier to tell with a frontal pose but at 12% you would have more definition in your back. HUGE improvement though. You are on your way to really getting lean and looking great! Congrats on the improvement.

bluetwistedsteel67, Thanks bro, and you may very well be correct. I use these calipers that I have at home just to measure progress. I have no idea if they are correct, but when I started measuring over a year ago...I was at 27% and now they read 12.8. So whether or not they are correct, that does show an improvement of almost 20%. I'm happy!

I have tried to remember how to do it but I can't figure it out. I have made multiple requests to see if someone could help me remember how to do it, but no replies.
