Wow so today marks the end of Phase II, I have completed a total of 56 days or 8 weeks, YEAH BRING IT!! I am pretty happy so far with the results, even though I have yet to take Whey Protein to help develop muscle and my diet has not been all that great, but yet I keep having results and I am pleased and excited, can’t wait to see what day 90 will be like.
So lets get on with today…
X Stretch:
OK so again I chose to stretch instead of just resting. Stretching always feels great. So far same thing, still struggling with Camel and doing OK with Back Hero. But I know this is not what you came here for, so lets get on with the real deal…
Weight:
| Day 1 | Day 49 | Day 56 | |
| Weight | 207.4 | 189.6 | 187.8 |
| Body Fat % | 33.4% | 25.7% | 24.2% |
| Lean Body Mass | 138.1 | 140.9 | 142.4 |
| Fat Body Mass | 69.3 | 48.7 | 45.4 |
| Body Surface Area (BSA) | 2.1 | 19.1 | 19.0 |
| Body Mass Index (BMI) | 30.6 | 28.0 | 27.7 |
Well even though this is supposed to be a recovery period I lost weight and gained a bit of muscle, that’s awesome. So I lost 1.8lbs that you can see on the scale.
Looking at the body fat %, I lost 1.5% of body fat. That equals to 3.3lbs of fat actually lost this week, so AWESOME! Which means that I gained 1.5lbs in muscle, that is one gain I don’t mind, so BRING IT!!! :o)
So what have I lost and gained so far since Day 1 or in 56 days:
- Lost at total of 19.6lbs that you can see in the scale.
- Lost a total of 23.9lbs of fat. Oh YEAH!
- Gained a total of 4.3lbs of muscle, not the greatest but still good.

Again I lost a bit more on the neck, which is fantastic, I have been getting a bit more air from my CPAP machine in my stomach so I knew I had to be going down in the neck, however I still have a bit of a double chin, trying to get rid of it.
I lost on my arms, forearms, waist, abdomen and hip area yet again, that is so fantastic, actually I already need a new wardrobe, all my pants are to big on me, all I can say is I am glad I wear a belt, I can put my fist sideways between me and the gap in my pants, needless to say without a belt, they do not stay up LOL.
Uhm also you know your losing weight when… Your underwear falls while walking as your pants stay in place thanks to the belt LOL feels funny, you can feel the elastic around the butt area and then you look around trying to figure out what would be the best way to pull them back up without no one noticing LOL But hey it’s funny and awesome all at the same time, and yes I know, to much info LMAO!
So then, lets take a look and see what I look like. Hairy! LOL I know but that’s not the point of these pics. So lets see what the point is…
By they way, just click on the images to make them larger.
First off sorry that they have not been very consistent on centering and so forth, but I have been taken them myself and in a bit of a hurry other wise I would never have time to resize and upload and stuff LOL I guess I could at some point take time and crop them so I look the same size in all of them, maybe I will do that for Day 90.
OK so you can tell that I got a hair cut LOL, but that’s not the point either, the Buddha belly is going down YAY!!!! and yes that’s the point or the bump LOL
Hey I didn’t notice but again you can see I lost some weight on my face too, cool. You can’t tell on these pics but the top ab muscles are starting to slightly show, it’s awesome and when I flex my abs, I can actually feel them under the bit of fat.
Also most of what is left of fat or as belly, is really lose skin, feels odd, it stretches, so I am hoping that the skin will slowly go back to it’s place.
OK so not much improvement on back definition, however the side chubbies are going down, they have proven to be tough to get rid of for sure. But I will say my abs and side abs are the hardest I workout, due to the factor I really want the weight gone and I want the keg replaced with a six pack. Yes I have thought that I may need 2 rounds to get that, but I am planning on it, because this round as I mentioned before, I am leaving it as weight loss, the next one will be muscle gain.
And here is the entire set:
So far this has been a pretty awesome ride. So tomorrow I start Phase III. It is 5 weeks long instead of 4 and it is a mix of exercises from both Phase I and Phase II, so this should be interesting. Tomorrow I have Chest & Back + Ab Ripper X. I have not seen Chest & Back for 4 weeks, we shall see how I do in it now.
Thank you for your time:
Mike
