Is there a bf% range where you don't look much different?
I read on here by I think RDFerguson that there is a bf% for men where there doesn't appear to be much change, but then once you drop below that you start to see definition. Is that true for everyone?
Wellllll, I started out at 128 last fall, I've taken it pretty slow with my loss and have continued to make modest strength gains even with dieting. I've followed a zig zag calorie approach, eating slightly above maintenance on lifting days and about 350 below on non-lifting days. I've lost a bit over 10lbs since October.
Maybe I'm just my own worst critic, but I feel like almost a smaller version of the person I was at 128! I've gone remarkably from a size 8 in Gap jeans to a size 0 (vanity sizing is awesome sometimes, lol), but I don't look significantly leaner, imo. My waist went from 28" to 25", so in addition to scale change there is a measurable difference.
I need to have someone take pics so I can actually see more objectively my before and after, but I just wanted to hear from other women who have moved through that process and if you had a similar experience.
