Just over 1 Week Out!

Just over a week since my last post and all I have done is eat!! HA! Haven't stopped and I think I'm sick of junk food now! Well I'm going to start again and maybe try to aim for a sub 30 inch waist over the next 6-8 weeks and really work hard. I'm not going to post every day but maybe once a week to let everybody know how I'm getting on.

Happy Training

Day off

I think over the last 3 weeks I could have done a lot better and I was giving in to temptation a bit too much. Over the 12 weeks I think I have learned a lot about my body and have had some really good results. 10kg of weight loss and 4.5 inches off my waist were some of the results that stuck out the most but the picture transformation was quite amazing! The whole point of doing this this study was to see if I could stick it out for 12 weeks and to make it clear that anybody can achieve similar results.

I think I will post a new assessment every month to see if I can maintain my new weight and bodyfat % and maybe even slim down and tad more lol. Thanks for reading and if you have any questions e-mail on markalexander@sidebysidefm.co.uk
