Down 15 pounds over past 12 wks...probably 10lbs to go...

Today is weigh-in day. Starting weight 12 weeks ago: 152.0 pounds (69kg) ..Today's weight: 136.6. So after 12 weeks of WeightWatchers online, I'm down 15.4 pounds. I've got one more week of Insanity workouts; the past 8 weeks of Insanity have helped me dump 10.4 pounds. The chart below is from my WeightWatchers page.

Click image to show week-by-week results to date. The one week that shows a 3.8 pound weight gain was after 2 nights of consuming LOTS of points. But as we've seen in the past, as long as the "cheat" days aren't a regular occurrence, it's no worries, and can even be a good thing from time to time :)

When we started WW, I'd listed my goal weight at 135. Then when I was getting close and still seeing some fat around my gut, I lowered the goal to 130. Today I did the math and it looks like I should be 125 pounds if I want to be 10% bodyfat. That sounds tiny, but remember: I'm a runt (5' 4"" if I stand up real tall).

SO ...I'm not actually concerned about the actual weight; the goal is to be around 10% bodyfat. I complete the Insanity workouts in a week, then after a week of lighter workouts, I'll hit Asylum, followed by 90 days of P90X, and then 90 days of P90X2. I'll most likely start adding protein as the resistance training increases, to slowly add muscle. So while the weight goal at this point is 125, if I'm 135 and 10% fat, that'd be awesome. Bottom line, I'm enjoying the journey and the results, and heart numbers continue to get better :) ...God bless coffee!

Holy crap dude! You must have a small frame as well. I'm 5'4" as well, but look my best at around 140. I've got a ways to go before I get there ... :-p

I'm definitely not "big-boned" a-la-Cartman :) ...I was this same height in high school and wrestled at 105 lbs. Did a lot of lifting for a time after college and put on some muscle (2 1/2 hrs a day, 6 days a week). Thought now is dump the rest of the fat that I wanna dump (125 lbs & 10% bodyfat), then add on some more muscle. I suspect I'll end up around 135 lbs when done, and if I add that as muscle without increasing fat, then I'd end up at 9.25% bodyfat, and a healthy BMI of about 23. We shall see :)
