Primal Week One

Current Weight: 307.4 lbs.
Total Weight Loss: 122.6 lbs

First week has gone really well!  Down 3 1/2 lbs.  Today's supposed to be my cheat day but I feel I don't need it.  Instead I treated myself to a very nice steak instead of the chicken I usually eat.  I'd love to break 300 by Feb.

A real concern I'm having lately is loose skin.  I'm beginning to see a lot of micro-wrinkling on my stomach and arms near the armpit and it's only going to get worse.

Going Primal

Current Weight: 311.0 lbs.
Total Weight Loss: 119.0 lbs.
Bodyfat Percentage: 40.4%
Muscle: 27.1%

After talking with New John I decided to try going Primal for a month and see how that goes, hopefully it works as advertised and I end up with more energy.

Got a new scale yesterday which reads my bodyfat%.  It also clocks me in a 1lb higher than my old scale, so I'm gonna retroactively change my start weight from 429 to 430.  That 429 has always bugged me, 430 is a nicer, rounder number.

According to the new scale my stats are:

Weight: 311 lbs.
Bodyfat: 40.4%
Muscle: 27.1%

So with a little math that means I have 125.64 lbs of fat.  To reach a healthy bodyfat percentage of 15% I need to lose an additional 79 lbs.  84.2 lbs of me is muscle.  My lean weight is 185 lbs.  My ideal weight should be around 230.  I can totally do that!
