thanks yo-yo i'm working hard

yeah BMI is really 28, but it goes by total weight and i'm not losing much. i'm thinking i'm losing bodyfat and gaining muscle though thus the reason for looking a little leaner, because the scale isn't budging much!

ahh chucks:o the poses arn't PERFECT, my arm is a little in on the progress pic..........but i do take full credit.:D

thanks JB. i havn't lost any weight, but i've been lifting so i think i've gained muscle, thus the standstill of the scale

they're about 2 weeks apart. the first one is the progress pic

my BMI is abou 28-29. my doctor says my bodyfat level is unhealthy thats why i'm doing this. he says a healthy % is 15-20% and from reading other health articals and so on the information overlaps. i've lost 1% bodyfat.:D but gained a lb. my its b/c i've been lifting weights
