Final Measurements (cold, not flexed):

Bicep: 14.5″ (-0.5″)
Calf: 16.25″ (-0.75″)
Thigh: 22.25″ (-1.75″)
Neck: 14.75″ (-0.75″)
Forearm: 12.5″ (-0.25″)
Waist: 32″ (-4.5″)
Lower Abs: 36″ (-4″)
Chest: 39″ (-2″)

Total inches lost: 14.5″

Weight: 206lbs (14st 10lbs) / 93.4Kg

Total weight lost: 16lbs / 7.2Kg

I am now within 10lbs of my original goal for summer, I’m predicting around 6 weeks to get there. I will transition from the Velocity Diet onto T-Dawg Diet 2.0

Overall I’m very pleased with the 16lbs loss and it’s very noticable

Measurements haven’t changed since last time:

Today’s Measurements (cold, not flexed):

Bicep: 14.25″ (-0.75″)
Calf: 16.25″ (-0.75″)
Thigh: 22.25″ (-1.75″)

Weight: 207lbs (14st 11lbs) / 93.8Kg (-15lbs / 6.8Kg)

I will post my immediate post Velocity Diet figures tomorrow and then some post transition figures a further 2 weeks later

I am happy with the results thus far, I hoped to lose 14lbs and have exceeded that

My ultimate target has been 196lbs @ 8% body fat (assuming I’ve calculated everything properly!).. hopefully I’ll be there within 6 weeks

Here’s my original fat loss estimate chart for 2008 just for fun

Today’s Measurements (cold, not flexed):

Bicep: 14.25″ (-0.75″)
Calf: 16.25″ (-0.75″)
Thigh: 22.25″ (-1.75″)

Lower Abs: 36″ (-4″)
Chest: 39″ (-2″)

Weight: 208lbs (14st 12lbs) / 94.3Kg (-14lbs / 6.3Kg)

I think that my weight is due for a couple of pounds drop over the next couple of days. 14 pounds was my target so I’ve reached that already!

I really hoped for some downward movement in the lower abdominal measurement but as you can see it’s not budged

I’m feeling more energetic today, could be due to not training for 2 days or my HSM (healthy solid meal), or a combination of the two! Anyway, it’s enabled me to actually get a couple of PRs today – 120KG Deadlift & 60KG Military Press

I lacked energy yesterday which sucked, didn’t really feel hungry though
