Morning All

I went to see my trainer at the gym yesterday to make up a new plan for me, because I was just plain bored with the old one. Whilst I was there, he tested my body fat, inches etc. and I got some pleasant surprises.

I have lost 12 lbs of fat, pure unadultarated fat since April 2005 and gained 6lbs of muscle! My total % of body fat has gone down from 44 to 39!! He was really really pleased with me and I am sooo happy about it!

I've also lost 1 inch off my chest, 1 inch off my hips and various centimeters off other parts of my body.

I was so discouraged late last year because the scales had not moved much at all during the second half of the year and now I know why. I was burning fat whilst making muscle!

This news has really encouraged me to work hard this year. In 2006 I pledge to myself to lose another 12lbs of fat and get my body fat % to under 30.

Hard work does pay off!

Excellent! Well done and keep on going, sounds like you have some really great and doable goals

Congratulations!! Keep up the great work!

Well done lynn!

Gaining 6lbs of muscle! You lucky thing!
