5% Summer Challenge - Body Fat % Reduction

Saturday, June 09, 2012

Before the Summer Challenge begins, I wanted to do some research on what is a reasonable weight loss goal. I visited this website and put in my measurements.

http://www.bmi-calculator.ne
t/body-fat-calculator/

If I did everything correctly, a weight loss goal of 124 is reasonable. A 2.4% reduction- 3 lbs.

127 *.2536 = 32 pounds body fat
127 lbs - 32 pounds fat = 95 pounds of lean body bass (bones, organs)
127 pounds * .23 (body fat% desired) = 29.21 body fat
95 pounds lean body mass + 29 pounds body fat = 124 reasonable goal

    I thought about joining that challenge and did the same thing. It turned out 5% is pretty close to my goal anyway.
