Thanks GB!
As you know, still working at it
I will update with my workouts though... last night:
Crazy Cape gave me the idea to do 20 reps of 125 on bench. Silly me put 115 on thinking it was 125, but got the 20 reps in 2 sets. So then I did another set of 115 for 10, then I went for 155. I was pretty happy, I got it once but needed my spot on the 2nd. Still, 155 is close to my weight, so I was pumped!
Incline flyes 27.5 x 12 - 3 sets
Machine fly - 70 x 15 / 55 x 15 - 2 sets
I threw in some bicep curls - 22.5 x 15 per arm
Food totals:
195 P
80 F
76 C
1804 cals

She is a damn animal. The more she lifts the more she wants to lift. Next week she's doing 135 lbs for 20. With no problem. 1 rep max on bench 180 lbs by the end of summer. I'm calling it now.
AR's Diet Pimp! ~HOF~
You know she's primarily focusing on reducing bodyfat right now... so why bother with 1RM? Curious.
- MONITOR -
It's not a focus. She mentioned hitting 155. This was before she changed to the cut. It's more of a private joke.

Training lol

And eating, and working... OMG my work is busy this time of year!
Things have been going OK. I started doing some higher rep/lighter weights with shorter rest periods. I have only been faithful with it for a week but I can feel the difference! That and the carb cycling have been making me feel tighter
I'm down a few lbs. I measured my BF at 22%, but another member thought it may be a tad less. The goal is to drop down to 140-145-ish and see what that looks like. Still about 15-20lbs to go... geesh!!
I'm going to try my best to log here more. I have the app on my phone, and really need the motivation from this place!
I have been missing everyone!
"Even sexier than Siggy"
careful, that will put you around 10% which is WAAAAY too lean for a girl who is not competing. Dont hurt yourself or force the issue... besides, when a girl gets that lean she loses her "drive"... not cool
Female Member
Oh Jeez... I don't want that! I was thinking I would be around 16-17%-ish at 140-145lbs... I guess I will just keep on trucking and stop when I get to a safe/maintainable look.
How do you calculate what weight you will be at a certain BF%
AR's Diet Pimp! ~HOF~
You're actually not that far off, going with the higher end (145ish).
Currently, you're 160 @ 22% (your estimation) - 125lbs lean, 35lbs fat
Looking ahead, if you were 140lbs @ 10% as KP mentioned - you'd be 126lbs lean, 14lbs fat. So, you're right in that you will have lost roughly 20lbs, but you'd be WAY too lean to maintain health/homeostasis.
Projecting 145lbs @ 15% (which is feasible, and a much healthier goal), you'd be carrying 123lbs lean, 22lbs fat. So 15lbs lost in total, 13lbs being fat, 2lbs being LBM which is definitely realistic (possibly more LBM and less fat tbh, but not necessarily).
As you already mentioned, your best bet is to continue until you achieve the look you desire. Getting too wrapped up in the numbers game will only make you miserable.

^^ to add to this though, I don't think you're 22%. I'd go with 18%, tops. So recalculating:
160lbs @ 18% = 130lbs lean, 30lbs fat (roughly)
150lbs @ 15% = 127.5 lean, 22.5 fat
Point being - I think you'll land somewhere around 150lbs. 145lbs would be pushing it (assuming my BF estimate is close), and 140lbs would definitely be too low. So, smile. You have less progress to make than you think!

I'll just keep on trucking along. I would like to lean out my stomach/hips, so whatever weight/BF that happens at will be the target
"Even sexier than Siggy"
I doubt you are even carrying 4lbs in these areas judging by those pics. Im pretty sure you will be where you want in less than 3 weeks. Take it slow, dont deprive yourself and enjoy the changes.That would be nice!

I have started my attempt at carb cycling. I went 2 days with very low carbs, only source was veggies and I had a few berries with Greek yogurt. Today is a mod carb day, and I weighed 158.0 this morning.
Trained some back last night, trying to use weights that I can hit the 15-20 rep range. Still gettin used to this, but having much shorter rest periods 30-60 secs depending on how out of breath I am...lol

Throwing some pics up from April 29/30, weighing around 159-ish and 22% BF. I am carrying most of it through my stomach/hips, and of course a bit on my upper body/legs. My stomach/hips is always the last to lean out... grrrrrr!
"Even sexier than Siggy"
you're going to have a sweet quad sweep as you lean out. How are the hammies developing?
BIB beat me to the math breakdown, but his numbers are right, please do not try dropping 20, you will be so lean dropping around 10#. Your arms and delts already show good tone at this stage...
Female Member
I tried to get a pic, I'll send it to you now. You can tell me what you think here, but I would rather not post it online.
I'll lay off the number stuff and stick with how it's looking/feeling

It's difficult to do an exact calculation because of the potential loss/gain of LBM.
So we will assume that your LBM will remain static in the following.
Lets say you are 160lbs @ 22% bf. that's a total of 35lbs of fat. You want to be 15% so you need to lose just over a quarter of that total, approximately 11lbs or so.
You can fairly easily do a calculation along the lines of
Total body weigh x % of bf you wish to lose
In your case
160lbs x .07 = 11.2
Sorry, I have trouble committing calculations to paper, I do them all in my head, but the above is the short way and as accurate as any other.

Hey, thanks B in B!! That helps a lot! So the goal is to lose 11-12lbs of fat, and HOPEFULY not any muscle.
Thanks again
