Good news!
Since mid July, I have dropped 7% body fat. I have 3% more that I want to lose to get to my target of 21% (which is very good for my height). I have a BMI around 23 (which is also good!).
I average between 9 and 10 minutes per mile. I was recommended to run about every day to get to my target body fat and to train. My target weight is a bit less than what I'm at, but I should easily hit it (we are talking between 3-8 pounds really from the upper to the lower range I want to fluctuate in) when I drop off the 5% body fat.
I have a goal to be able to run a marathon by spring next year. I'm still at a total loss of 75 pounds at my lowest weight, and if I were to lose all 8 pounds and be on the lower range of my target weight range (set by me personally), then that would be a total of 80 pounds lost since August of 2008. I definitely have a lot of muscle for my height so to maintain the lower range of my weight would be hard! It's already hard to be where I'm at with the amount of muscle I have (probably higher than average), to be frank!
I also wish I had measured myself (inch-wise) back in July because I can pretty much guarantee you I've cut a good number of inches off since July even though I've pretty much only maintained my weight since then (hey, I dropped a whole size in a month-- 2 numeric sizes!).
I have to say that while I workout on a normal basis about 4-5 times/week, I personally feel pretty good in shape UNTIL I workout with a trainer... lol.
Thank goodness I have good teeth and no fillings! haha.
