What's Your Body Fat "happy place" ?

You know you want to lose body fat - but how much?  Without all the fancy equipment you can actually use a technique called "eyeballing".

Have a good look at yourself in the mirror with minimal clothing - and then estimate where you're body fat % might be at the moment - using these pictures as a guide. To lessen the chance of you eyes not being honest with you, ask someone close to you (who sees you in your underwear)  to estimate as well.

Then look at which body you would like to have.  Now you have a before and after picture and a guide as to how much body fat you want to lose.

If you haven't already, why not join the New Year Body Transformation Challenge to give you the push to make the positive changes.  It can be totally free if you like, or you can ask me for help - see an earlier post for the options.  And if you set a body fat % goal I can help calculate this into approximately how much weight you would have to lose to achieve it.  (of course this is just an approximation, as it is possible to lose no.overall weight, and achieve your goals)

Msg me soon to be involved, we start Feb 9!

great pics Lisa might have been interesting to add what each % means on the "naming scale". For example under 10% body fat is clinically underweight, where over 32% (or there abouts)is classified as obese. although that might challenge those epople who perhaps believe they are "just a little bit" overweight, but hey, if that is the "H" moment, all the better, might be the thing needed to make that "want" into a "need". Lets go lose some body fat, woohoo!!!!!

Yep, contemplated it, but decided to keep it simple to start with!
For those who are interested I posted the chart about what level of body fat is acceptable a few months ago if you would like to scroll back , and i will post it again soon.

pS Lisa, I cracked our favourite weight milestone today!

I'm jealous, no envious, but challenged. Cool as...
