I wish I had kept a blog for my weight loss. It is so interesting to see the metamorphisis...http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_1.htmlFri, 25 Jan 2008 16:32:16 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_1.htmlSplint, Have you been professionally tested for body fat? You look a leaner than 17% to me! Closer to 10% maybe? You can see your abs for goodness sake! Jeff, That is one HOT bod you sculpted for yourself. GOOD JOB! (Now back to work to try to forget sexy physiques, hahahaha)http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_1.htmlFri, 25 Jan 2008 14:31:54 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_1.htmlWow you kicked some serious butt.http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_1.htmlThu, 24 Jan 2008 13:50:57 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlJeff. I like your site and the pictures are encouraging. I am 2 months into this same process myself and it is good to see where I can be in 8 more months!http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlFri, 21 Dec 2007 13:43:22 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWow Jeff! Congratulations on your transformation.

And as far as your face showing the loss, from the looks of your avatar, it's not pudgy at all and already looks good to moi--if not diagonalish... ;)http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlThu, 20 Dec 2007 13:48:30 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlJeff, I'm totally inspired by this pictorial weight loss journey you've provided for us. I'm going to do the same. I think it'll help me hold myself accountable for my diet and training every other week too. I'll let everyone know how it goes. What was your diet like while you were losing weight? Shawn - I can't wait to get those slim face comments again. I'll be expecting one when I update my pic, lol. ...http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlThu, 20 Dec 2007 13:16:43 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlGrats Jeff. I like how the position/shorts/etc stayed the same to really highlight the differences. Your face looks alot better too as the weight has come off Its amazing how much we can hold on our faces when we have excess weight and how they slim up as we slim up.http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlThu, 20 Dec 2007 04:40:27 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWow congrats on the acheivement! I reckon now if you think that you can't do anything in life, just look at those pictures there Jeff.... you'll see that you can do anything with a little bit of discipline http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 22:38:50 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlI'm looking to see what my school has now, Minu.

Might be 5-10 bucks, but worth it for the accuracy. http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 16:44:51 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlI need to get a bodyfat test done...but it's embarrassing! Lol, I'm always too scared to ask the trainers at my gym to do it for me.http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 16:36:05 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlThanks for sharing your achievemnet Jeff!!

It sounds like I progressed in the same way although I have been lifting weights pretty steady for many years (although not as consistently as I have over hte past 6 months). I just didn't want to lie to people and tell them I increased lean body mass while losing fat because that's not what happened. I did add muscle in some areas and I'm definitely stronger than I was 6 months ago even though my lea...http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 16:32:27 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlQuoting: jeffainslie Here are 2 more pictures of myself at the exact same weight 2 years apart. In the first picture, I had lost weight quickly and didn't look so great. 2 years later, I lost weight again and I think it pretty clear after this weight loss I have more muscle. Indeed and NICE. How quick was the first round of weight loss, may I ask?...http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 16:32:02 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlIdunno either really, just graspin' at straws... All I know is that for me personally, I lost a load of fat by doing just cardio. I didn't start with the resistance training until well after the fat was melted. But what I was working with at the start of that resistance work was pretty strong already, and for a chica, not too shabby in terms of mass. I reckon it's all chalk-up-able to the mez tendencies in me. I wish I would have done some composition-testing at the start...http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 16:16:55 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlQuoting: splintSo on what do you base the statement that you gained muscled? Is it just the evidence that you are stronger now than before? Because that's what I believe. My chest and arm measurements were bigger at the end and I am also much stronger now. You are right that it is very, very hard to conserve muscle while losing weight, let alone gain any muscle. (How can you do anabolic and catabolic processes at the same time?) My calorie deficit was usually only 200-300 calories...http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 16:16:50 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlawesome jeff! nice transformation! thanks for sharing!!i appreciate it!! great job! what kind of diet and exercise routine were you on?http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 16:10:13 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlQuoting: MinuThat said, then the growth would be in other areas, (core, arms, back...), the ones that never got worked before the working out? Well, that's my theory, my back, arms, abs and chest really show signs of muscle growth but is it as much as the lean body mass that was needed to carry around 30 extra pounds of fat every day for the last several years? Lean body mass includes bones, muscles and connective tissue, all of which needs to be bigger the more you weigh. So maybe the...http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 14:25:01 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlQuoting: splintMy theory is that my body needed a lot more muscle and lean body mass to carry around the 30 extra pounds of fat 24 hours a day. So when I lost the fat, I lost that lean body mass but I also gained lean body mass in other more functional area, just not as much as I lost from losing the weight. What's your take? I wonder if a lot of this apperant lean-loss while in fat-loss mode comes off mostly from the legs, as I imagine, they're what's bearing the load most ...http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 14:22:00 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlQuoting: jeffainslieI was losing weight slowly and gaining muscle at the same time. I have a question. I've been telling people that I didn't gain muscle while I lost weight. I used the simple calculations of body fat % and total lean body mass pounds. For example here's my before and after numbers: Before Weight: 212 Body Fat: 28.5% Fat Pounds: 60.42 Lean Mass Pounds: 151.58 After Weight: 175 Body Fat: 17.0% Fat Pounds: 29.75 Lean Mass Pounds: 145.25 ...http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 14:16:47 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlBravo, Jeff, way to kick your own ass. Thanks for sharing your journey here--makes me wish I would've been more consistant, (same clothes, same pose, each couple kg's like yourself), with my photographic weightloss trek. (Too late now, and I love it!) Nice blogging too. http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 13:49:12 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlOne word: awesomenesshttp://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 06:34:38 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlAwesome job, bro!

You're right, 5 pound increments don't seem like a lot, but over time, they really add up. It reminds me to be content with my 2-pound-a-month average loss. Your whole blog, btw is great...thanks for the link!http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 02:03:35 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlCongratulations. Very inspiring stuff.

It looks like your entire body shape changed. Great job. So when you your were 27% how much did you weigh and how much do you weigh now? I'm curious because I had similar number 28.5% at 212 down to about 15% at 175.http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 01:17:16 +0000http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlEach picture is 5 lbs difference in weight. Keep in mind, I was losing weight slowly and gaining muscle at the same time. For people who are disappointed with only a 5 lb weight loss, it really does make a difference! Here is my blog with my pictures.http://www.traineo.com/14_4354_0.htmlWed, 19 Dec 2007 01:08:23 +0000
