Week 3, Day 7 of my 12 Week Transformation

So the results of my first measurements are in, and I'm delighted with my progress so far. My starting weight was 88.9kg and my weight is now 85.7kg, which means I've lost just over 3kg - or in old money, half a stone.

I've lost 1 and a half inches from my waist and reduced my body fat from 17.7% down to 15.1%. It's also great to know that I've managed to lose weight but maintain and build muscle, as proven by my bicep measurement going up from 14 and 3 quarter inches to 15 inches and my chest measurement staying the same.

This has all happened in less than 3 weeks, and so I'm well on my way to my 12 week target of a weight of 82.7kg and body fat of under 10%.

Today was supposed to have been my cheat day where I get to eat whatever I want, but my wife and I were invited to a barbecue with friends yesterday and after about 30 seconds of resisting the crisps and dips on the table, I decided to switch my cheat day from Sunday to Saturday. I can safely say it was the right decision, as I wolfed down burgers, sausages and garlic bread. However, the crowning moment was when two 2 chocolate and cream desserts were brought out, and it's fair to say I didn't hold back. It can only be described as insanity on a plate.




When I first spoke about having a cheat day where you can eat whatever you want and still totally transform your body, it was all theory, but now my results prove that it works. Having said that, 6 days of having not much more than fish, chicken and veg can be tough so that's the time to keep your goal at the forefront of your mind. That's certainly what I'll be doing!
