Do I believe these numbers, not the calculated ones entirely. They show a reference point. I do not believe in 7 weeks that I could have gained 18 lbs of muscle, and lost 13 lbs of fat. Do these represent a closer view of what I was probably like to start with, I would have to say yes. I know that I store most of my fat around my stomach. I always have. When I have had the caliper test done in the past, I have been told "Well, you don't store much fat on your legs do you." So removing fat from the stomach will cause a bigger change in the number for me than for others.
I have been doing the Body for Life resistance training program, making sure I get plenty of protein and following the recommendations from PP and PPLP, Taking Fish Oil very regularly, I have noticed my strength improve considerably and can tell my body is getting firmer.
Do I believe 198 is now my goal weight. It is my goal weight until I redo the numbers in a month or so and then change them accordingly. I believe ultimately it will be higher because like I said, I store my fat around my stomach, and do not have a lot in other places, so that will drop the fastest as I burn that fat.
I am also glad my blood sugar levels have dropped considerably as well as the amount of insulin I use. I believe that it will continue to drop as I build muscle and lose fat.
The two biggest challenges were Thanksgiving where I had 2 pieces of Pecan Pie and 1 piece of Pumpkin Pie, and then last Saturday when my kids wanted to order pizza. I had 4 slices. Way too many I know but other than that I have stayed to under 50 grams of carbs/day and trying to get at least 200 grams of protein to build the muscle.
