AND AGAIN! A NEW LOW FOR BODY FAT PERCENTAGE - 32.5%

The last time I posted about this was four days ago, and my body fat percentage had gone from 33.1% to 32.8%, which was an all-time Atkins low for me.

This morning, it has dropped again, this time to 32.5%.

I have not changed what I am eating or my activity level. I am lifting weights three times per week.

So, since December 12, I have lost 0.3 pounds of body fat, I have gained 1 pound of lean mass. I have also lost 1/4" around my hips.

Right before I started Atkins, this was me:

158 pounds
70.8 pounds of body fat - 44.8%
87.2 pounds of lean mass - 55.2%
35" waist
13.75" neck
45.5" hips
28.0 BMI
0.56 waist-to-height ratio
0.77 waist-to-hip ratio

This is me now:
144.0 pounds
46.8 pounds of body fat - 32.5%
97.2 pounds of lean mass - 67.5%
30.5" waist
12.5" neck
39.25" hips
25.6 BMI
0.48 waist-to-height ratio
0.78 waist-to-hip ratio

This is my dream goal (we'll see!)
130 pounds
32.5 pounds of body fat - 25%
97.5 pounds of lean mass - 75%
26.5" waist
12.25" neck
37.25" hips
23.1 BMI
0.42 waist-to-height ratio
0.71 waist-to-hip ratio

So that means that, so far, since February 2009:

I have lost 63% of the body fat I set out to lose.

I have gained 97% of the muscle I set out to gain.
