Real Fast Fat Loss by Alwyn Cosgrove and Chad Waterburg/Running Summary

The workout was done for the month of July and I also trained for a 7.5 mile race, longest I have ever done, using Hal Higdon's Training Guide for Novice

The measurement and calculations were done using Dr Berardi's Body Composition guide, measurements were taken 3x and averaged. For the skin fold 7 locations and the measurement 8 locations. There was really no significant change to my diet.

Loss 1.84%BF

Loss 3.40 lbs this is significant because my body has a nasty habit of resetting every month during my period. About 2 days before my period I will have a 5-7 pounds weight gain but unlike most people there is no "woosh fairy" so at the end of my period there may be a 1 pound drop, so I have been within the same 5-10 pounds the last 1.5 years the only time I got my weight to go lower was when I was strictly following Atkins. This month there was no weight gain, being on the IUD the weight gain was my only indication since I don't get cramps or crappy(only selected times),so my period was a nice surprise so to speak.

There was a loss of 12.33mm in my skin fold measurement, with 8mm coming from my abs and I can tell the difference, there are some jeans and top that I am wearing now that I won't have wound together last month.

With the measurement there was a total loss of 4.57cm but I gained 1.33cm in my arm and 1.27cm in my calves. Most loss came from Shoulder and Chest.

I will probably do this again, it is not possible to go for more than 4 weeks because it does require quite a level of concentration.
