First weigh in since 19 september, after my holidays. Overall good result considering the challenges of eating the right portions in the US and the fact that I ate a lot away from home.
The overall calorie deficit for the period was 34865, but when corrected for my estimated Bodymedia error (10%) it went down to 19600 which would imply a loss of about 2.8kg fat.
I actually lost 3.2kg and went down to 23.6% fat from 24%, so I guess the difference between forecast and actual is water weight (since the fat % went down more slowly) Today I am finally planning to go and measure my fat % with Bodpod to have a benchmark for my Omron scale.
I am glad about the result considering that over the last 41 days I consumed way more calories than my goal with an avg intake of 2850/day, but I also upped my burn with tennis and jogging. Unfortunately I stopped for the last 3 weeks chalistenics due to a knee problem, I will resume this week.
This pace of loss of about 2.5 kg.month is good and I would like to avoid loosing to fast to limit skin damage. I am not sure yet where I stand in terms of loose skin, I am afraid I will have some around the belly. Now I have still quite a lot of fat around it so I am not sure whether the fact that it is a bit loose is due to fat or skin. It does not look too bad, but I will see if I can manage to loose another 10 kg and get under 20% body fat.
