I have been steadily working towards my ultimate goal of sub 10% bf, probably around 11-12 right now
like many of you I notice how my body changes as I reduce and how it affects others as well when they do so.
Vascularity seems to be a good indicator of leanness and in the last few week I have noticed both sides of my fore arms turning into road maps of veins they are have also appeared on my biceps.
yesterday and today I had a real pig out food at least 7000 calories, major leptin reset days!
so now my muscles are really full and im also a bit bloated, I did the pre bed check in the mirror as we do and I thought I had a bruise or some sort of mark on my delts to chest tie in area on closer inspection its another dirty great vein popping up like a snake totally shocked me as I have never had this before in my life!
I reckon about 7 lbs and I will be set but its gonna be a tough 7lbs but having little moments like this is a great incentive to push on
no more reset days for a while though!

Can you sum up your question? I just didn't find one.
You seem to sound happy. You are fine. There's nothing wrong with your snake vanes

it wasn't a question more a reflection on how the body changes as we lose weight and what you notice during the processOriginally Posted by moreMackle

most people (me included) tend to focus on abs but the other stuff like vascularity and separation are also pretty cool, veins are kind of freaky though ..in a good way

Vascularity hasn't been all that reinforcing for me; if anything, it's frustrating. My forearms are veiny as heck but my lower abdomen is still carrying a ton of fat (almost as frustrating as the fact that my butt hurts when I sit on an unpadded chair yet I still have a great deal of fat on my hips).
Good for you, OP. Keep fighting the good fight.Started 2012 at over 410lbs (that was as high as my scale went) and I ended the year at 260lbs.
Still going strong while eating whatever I want - whenever I want; I just keep it to under 2000 calories a day.

Interesting.
I'm on a similar path, a bit behind you at approx 13%. But I was wondering what things to look forward too...now i know!

I went to the washroom today and looked down...guess what?
The body doesn't struggle to lose weight...the mind does - keep measurements, keep your sanity.
