Thread: There are abs under all that fat - honest!

Lol, well since 'my body is a temple', I thought I might as well add some tattoos that might be found in a temple!

Count me among them, sigh. Well not quite, but my pot belly is a bit ocker these days. Hoping a bit of swimming and healthier eating will address this.

So I am very calorie-deficient (but not nutrient-deficient), but still feel very 'fresh', not faint or anything after I jog each morning.

I am frankly amazed at how much fat is hiding on my body, and I have never been a fat git. I will continue this diet until my abs look good (they are visible and daily plank/push-ups etc help them to grow a little). But I will stop this diet if my ribs etc start sticking out! Luckily so far, the fat that's coming off is on my belly.

Livin’ the dream.

Do you keep track of your bodyfat %?




Abs typically become visible at around 15%

Which, according to the chicks I've chatted to, is the most attractive % to be (presuming you also have some muscle as in the above pic.)

I'm in the 14% region - Abs are visible, but still a little fat to lose. My waist has gone from 34 inches to 31 inches and my trousers now fall down....

An extra reason to lose a few mendies.

I am sure Mis Simon likes that.
I mean the abs, not the pans falling down part.

Alas, there is no Ms Simon. And Candy never said anything about my body. Sometimes she made me so angry I could cut her head and limbs off.......

If it is your dog, I hear , though I have no first hand experience (crap wrong choice of word) that peanut butter works out well.

Peanut butter for Candy? Hmm, I never tried that with her.....
