The FAT BURN Blog

Today is Week 14 since the start of my fat loss journey.

I did not get a chance to report on Week 12 as it fell on Boxing Day and I was taking some time out with the family.

When I began my journey I was at 122kg and in a desperate position health wise. I was out of control, lacking in direction, depressed with zero focus on my health.

Today just 14 weeks later I am at 112.9kg on scale weight. I have lost 9.1 kg (appx 20 pounds) of scale weight and probably closer to 13 or 14 kg of actual body fat. I have added appx 4 or 5 kg of muscle in this time.

More importantly though I have more energy, have a new direction in life with new goals, have moved out of the danger zone health wise, feeling a lot better about myself and life, and my health is now a far higher priority.

Here is the video of my progress:

More updates coming soon!

During the Christmas holidays I will be taking a 7 day break from all training. Then I will be doing a week of bodyweight training just to ease my body back into training ready for 2008.

Bodyweight training is great because you can do it in the comfort of your home. They ramp up your metabolism and help you to burn more fat.

The best information on bodyweight training is available from Craig Ballantyne of Turbulence Training.

Check out this video by Craig:

You will find that Turbulence Training offers a great home based training program that you can easily do over the Christmas holiday period. It is certainly what I will be doing

The Shredder Sphere is the name given by Adam Waters of the Real Time Physique Blog for those of us on the 100 Day Fat Loss Challenge.

Adam is running the group shred from his blog and doing an awesome job. his inspirational videos and blog led me to start the Fat Burn Blog.

In my last video I talked about what you should eat for Weight Loss and Fat Burning success.

In this latest video ‘Fat Foods Vs Fit Foods’ just uploaded to You Tube I go into more detail about the distinction between the two types of food categorys.

Remember that when you subscribe to the Fat Burn Blog you will receive the special report ‘Fat Foods Vs Fit Foods’ where I detail the one change I made that resulted in at least 80% of my weight loss success so far as I burnt the fat off.

Well week 8 is here. Wow hasn’t the last 8 weeks flown by.

Pleased with my results so far and feel really confident that I can do even better over the next 8 weeks.

Here is where I am up to:

Body Weight 116.8kg 122kg (Start)
Body Fat % 33.7% 38.3%
Waist 46.5″ 52″

Overall my training is going well. I have a slight shoulder injury in my left shoulder which is slowing me up a little. Otherwise I am generally getting stronger in most exercises, and definitely getting great cariovascular fitness.

My nutrition is still needing some work especially when it comes to the right carb intake for me. The last few days I think my calories and carbs have been a little low and so today I felt very weak at the gym. Apart from this things are going well and I am generally compliant at around 85%.

I was watching Biggest Loser the other day and was blown away by the amazing and inspirational weight loss stories of some of the contestants.

Then something interesting happened.

It got my attention and made me start to really think about the reality of reality TV shows like Biggest Loser.

Watch this video to find out why I question if Biggest Loser is healthy for the general viewing public or not:
