Bod Pod Results – Test #2

Posted on by

Totally forgot to post the update for the 2nd Bod Pod test I did on my 11-week weigh-in, so here goes:

During my lunch break on March 25th, I went to Brock University in St. Catharines to get a 2nd Bod Pod test done to compare my results from my first test on Feb 8th.  Below are the tabulated results.

Feb 8 2010
Bod Pod		 Mar 25 2010
Bod Pod		 Difference
Time Frame 6.5 weeks
Weight(lbs) 217.6 lbs 200.9 lbs -16.7 lbs
Body Fat % 20.9% 14.9% -6.0%
Fat (lbs) 45.5 lbs 30.8 lbs -14.7 lbs
Lean Mass (lbs) 172.1 lbs 170.1 lbs -2 lbs

I plan to go again after this 12 week stretch. I have updated my goals which reflect numbers that will be from the Bod Pod test rather than my home scale, and OMRON BIA tester.

June 17th Goal:  Weigh 192 lbs @ 12% body fat or less based on Bod Pod test results #3.

This week ends an 11-week mid-goal stretch that started January 7th, after my first 7 week holiday challenge that started November 19th 2009.  This mid-goal was to reach 200 lbs with 22% body fat or less.  With that said…….

This weeks numbers:

Weight: 197.6 lbs (down -5.0 lbs from last)
Body Fat: 21.0% (down -0.8% from last week)
LBM: 156.1 lbs (down -2.3 lbs from last week)

All I can say is HOLY SH**!  I know there’s probably some hydration influence in this weigh-in. although I felt I drank plenty of fluids yesterday and last evening, but I also ramped up the training this week considerably.  Bottomline is:  I MET & EXCEEDED MY GOAL! Here’s the photo evidence!


Photo evidence!


In those 11 weeks, I loss a total of 23.6 lbs & 4.6% body fat!

My next mid-goal is another 12-week stretch which would bring me to June 17th…1 week before my main triathlon event.  I initially had the goal set at 190 lbs & 19% body fat, but I think I’ll revise that now a little considering the new results;  June 17th goal:  185 lbs & 18% body fat.

This afternoon I have another Bod Pod test at Brock University.  Can’t wait to see how it correlates with my first test, and my OMRON.

This weeks numbers:

Weight: 206.2 lbs (down -0.3 lbs from last)
Body Fat: 23.1% (down -0.1% from last week)
LBM: 158.6 lbs (Negligible from last week)

Well, at least I didn’t gain. :mrgreen:

I’m going to keep with the lower carb eating 5 days a week, and carb up Thurs & Sundays.  I think I over did it last Sunday with the refeed, plus the reduced training (taper week) probably what resulted in a lower than average weight loss.  Plus the fact that I didn’t lose any LBM, but still almost dropped half a lbs, is always good news.

This weeks numbers:

Weight: 206.5 lbs (down -4.5 lbs from last)
Body Fat: 23.2% (down -0.8% from last week)
LBM: 158.6 lbs (down -1.8 lbs from last week)

I’m kinda of surprised at the big drop, but I think I attribute this to my nutrition switch.  Up to last Thurs, I was basically splitting my macro nutrients into 55% carbs, 30% protein, & 15% fat, with one day of the week (usually on Sunday), I’d bump my calorie intake to maintenance (or just above) to help boost the metabolism.

Since last Thursday, I’ve gone more low carb with a 40% carb, 40% protein, 20% fat macro split, and a carb load on Sunday and today (Thurs).  So I’m thinking the big drop attributes to a low glycogen muscle stores from the lower carb intake.

I’m going to keep going with this split and see what it brings next week, then adjust accordingly.

Thursday mornings are my “Official” weigh in days, and I will post the results every Thursday.  I do weigh myself throughout the week, but fluctuations happen from diet, etc.

This weeks numbers look like this:

Weight: 216.2 lbs (down 1.8 lbs from last week)
Body Fat: 24.2% (down 1% from last week)
Lean Body Mass(LBM): 163.9 lbs (up 0.8 lbs from last week)

Not a bad week overall.
