Last month, I decided to do monthly zone diet plan updates<\/a>. Mainly this was for my own sanity so I wasn’t always on the scales and measuring my waist every day. Not that I have an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder type personality, oh no! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

However I’ve been looking forward to today, as this month has been pretty exciting on the weight loss front, I’ll explain why in a bit. Here are last month’s stats<\/strong> for reference:<\/p>\n

– Weight = 14 stone 4 = 200 lbs = 91kg.
\n– Waist = 40.0 inches \/ 102cm.
\n– Body Fat Calculation = 25%<\/p>\n

Here are my new stats for 1st June<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

– Weight = 14 stone 0 = 196 lbs = 89kg.
\n– Waist = 38.5 inches \/ 98cm.
\n– Body Fat Calculation = 21% !!!<\/p>\n

As I’m sure you can imagine, I’m pretty pleased with this result, especially as I’m now over half way to my target of 15% body fat<\/strong>. However that’s not the best of it: This week, I started wearing 34 inch waisted jeans that I consigned to the “too small pile” 7 years ago! Yes, I really have carted a pile of too small jeans around for over 7 years, in the hope that one day I would be able to wear them again. I thought it was becoming a vain hope, but with the Zone Diet, and the exercise from Crossfit, I’m really pleased to be in them again. Now the big question is: should I throw my 38″ and 36″ jeans away?!?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As last month, if you do the comparison between body fat loss and actual weight loss, it shows that I lost 8 lbs of fat (4% of 200 lbs), but only 4 lbs of weight, when means that I’ve gained 1lb of muscle each week of May<\/strong>. That’s thanks to CrossFit<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
