need to know what % fat I'm at pics included

[jimmy726]

Please let me know where I'm at be easy I'm down from 290 lbs last year this time. I am currently 5' 11" 200 lbs in this pic

[X2006ibmgto]

20+ is my guess

[jimmy726]

I was think that as well any other opinions

[Tron3219]

I was thinking 25ish

[Bio-Active]

20-25 Good solid base though and you can drop 1-2% BF e/w FYI

[--->>405<<---]

25% at least.. i suggest u google BOD POD for ur area and make an appointment

[jimmy726]

Very cool I've been watching my macro spread this week and have been eating clean

[Ajc330]

how long did it take you and what was your diet like throughout the process?

[ironbeck]

I would guess 20%, ppl have to take in consideration losing 90lbs would leave a lot of extra skin on most ppl...so It's hard to tell brother, your legs look like 14%. How much loose skin do you have around your waste.

[jimmy726]

It took me 11 months to drop all the way down to 189 from 290 only cardio no weight training. I did it from watching calories only. I didn't know anything about macros. I took myself all the way down to 1200 calories near the end but I've always ate atleast 5 meals a day. I have a lot of lose skin obviously the way I lost my weight and so fast. My goal this year is to get to below or at 15% body fat. Is this goal achievable obviously I have the will and want.

congrats thats a hard task and you now have an awesome goal. yes you are higher then 25% imo but you can move down quickly
glad you got your macros in line and stick with diet and cardio. but you need to start lifting also gotta put on some more lbm

[jimmy726]

A little reasoning behind the weight gain I jumped on a ph and started weight training and upped my calories just some. I took Dmz suspension and just came off the cycle probably 3 weeks ago.

That's the reason you had 100+ pounds of fat? You were on a ph and upped your calories and ended up at 290?

No I think he meant at one point he was 189 and now 201 I believe that's what he meant.

[JWP806]

That would make sense.

[zaggahamma]

congrats on the weightloss

be more concerned/concentrated on your future goals as you are not done yet

[jimmy726]

[jimmy726]

Any other takers on what % I'm at

[zaggahamma]

i'll go with 25

where do u think u sit

[jimmy726]

I want it to be 20 but somewhere between 20 and 25. Well my goal last year was to get to 200 lbs this year it's to get to 15% and bench 300

I say 27%. Also, me...I would forget the bench weight. Good to have that goal to keep the drive, but you are talking BF%. What you lift is irrelevant. Back when I looked good You would think I could lift this and that. People were surprise as to what I could not and how I got there. Well my body is not a STRONG body. Hey You have done awesome, very cool but the plan for now is quite the same, diet and train,train and train harder with the cardio also of course. crazy mike

Technically you could keep the weight you have by losing fat weight and replacing with muscle weight. In time, you are what you are at you mass weight. ...cm

Totally agree on this...
Cardio is eF crucial in loosing bf (hate people who use the expresion "loosing weight")

[zaggahamma]

GOOD GOAL

i'd like to see that bro..the 15% being a bigger achievement/more rewarding

[alex18]

I'm guessing 25.... But GREAT work on the weight loss!!!!!

[jimmy726]

Yes sir I'm already hard at it. I'm still to new to the game and doing the natural way like all you old school guys stress I don't need to hurt myself. I've been watching my macro spread doing 20 min of cardio at lunch and 1.5 hr of constant weight training 5 days a week. I'm going to give fasted cardio a run tomorrow. Like I said I defiantly have the will and want I just may need some advise along the way.

[TT_Tweeker]

I am VERY GOOD AT GUESSING BF%!

So those who dare challenge my opinion... May want to wait n see...
Your body Fay based on the 2 pics provided is this: 25%_28%
I can't honestly tell u your body fat bro... You r rocking out at 27.3% BF!
No one will be closer than the actual test

[TT_Tweeker]

Further more look where u came from bra

I know this shit! U r holding at 27%. That is an easy fix brag.

[Soar]

Ill argue 27.4% bra only if that gets me bra status

[alex18]

Ill argue 27.4% bra only if that gets me bra status

Lmao I'm clocking all your anti-brah comments

[TT_Tweeker]

Last thing. I have had buddies brave as yourself you said..."it's time for change"! An I right? Fat has been freezled' now let's concentrate on the excess skin. The in of itself is considered fat. (Bs if u ask me. But u may want to look into some form or forum for skin elasticity.

[< <Samson> >]

25% + for sure. I been all the way to almost 30% and down to 12-13%.


Possibly less due to loose skin, hard to tell. I have been lucky and my skin has been good to me in most areas, yet I still have spots of nasty stretch marks.



Good luck bro!

[jimmy726]

I lift 5 days a week doing two different

[jimmy726]

[jimmy726]

Ps I am sitting at 191 cold in the morning at 5 11" any good guys like 405 that would like to chime in I am good for pointers and criticism

[austinite]

^ congrats on the weight loss. Looking much better. That's about 20 to 21%, where your first images in the OP look closer to 28-29%.

ps. Something is wrong with your Tahoe. The frame is sitting on the ground.

[jimmy726]

I wish that was my Tahoe but thanks. And what about the loose skin from being a royal fatass?

[austinite]

^ That's how elasticity works. Check out the spa section for ways to help with that.

[jimmy726]

Very cool man thanks and it's defiantly nice to know I'm making some progress.

[austinite]

^ you are making great progress. Impressive actually. Believe it or not most people are far too lazy to do what you've done. So pat yourself on the back, Champ.

Have a powerful day!
