I want to lose around 8 pounds of just fat so I can start my bulk at 130.0

[fredrik525]

I'm 5'8 160 pounds and 17 years old. Anyone that can guess what my bf% is? Just so you know, the last piece of flab on the low part of my stomach is loose skin since when I lost weight.

I'm 27 years old 6'4 and 221.4 in this pic. Started at 255 in mid April and am a little more than halfway to my goal of 200. Any guess on bodyfat %?

Going to bump with three better pictures. Holding the fat down in one to show how much I have left. I'm thinking around 12-13, but I really can't tell.

Thanks

You look around 15%. If you are currently 176 lbs like your stats say I would cut like 10 lbs or so.

Hey Goalreacher,

I weight 165 lbs, not 176. I'm thinking of bulking for a bit. Slow bulk, no?

[Goalreacher95]

If you want to bulk now, go for it. I recommend a lean bulk, enough to gain 1/2 lb per week (250 cals over maintenance). Anymore than that will more than likely just be fat. You are still going to gain some fat on a lean bulk, but it should be minimal.

That's exactly what I was going for

Hello,
been cutting about 3 months from 98,5 kg to 94kg now with a weight gain from creatin about 1,5-2 kg since last week. Height 183,5 cm, age 27, DCI 1800-2000kcal.

Omron scale says 21.8-25,8 depending of the time of a day, calliper formulas give est. 11-13%. Me myself visually would say about 18%.

Note that the camera actually shows about 25% better definition than is seen in real life.

The last pic is with flexed abs just for comparison.

Many thanks!

Here's my best guesses:

Juan97 -15%

fredrik525 - 15%

Claaaaaaay - 23%

tdob12 - 12 to 15%

alex656 - 12-15%

vaytma - 20%

IsPringle - I'd guess 15-18% but it's hard to tell

JustJuice - 20-25%

SahibSingh1150 - 18%

Siliconslinger - 25-30%

yido101 - 20%

johnwb2 - 20%

Simplicityx - 12-15%

RawChickenJoe - 15%

MouthForWar--It looks to me like you are flexing. Also, you are hiding your lower abs with your fist. Based on that, going to have to guess 15%. You have plenty of muscle mass and can definitely cut more.

[MultipleSources]

just started cutting about a week ago and these are my before pics. I'm a little bit less fat now but still pretty fat. My guess was around 28% - 30% but I'd like to see what you guys think

16 years old

5'10"

204 lbs

Goal: 15% by end of year (don't know if that's reasonable but it's worth a shot)

roughly 25%

Getting to 15% in 6 months is a perfectly reasonable goal, and you might even be able to get there by Halloween.

Sweet, thanks man. Halloween sounds like a solid goal for me. The more ambitious the better I've found with me.

[Dnkibble]

Yes. I have a lot to work on I know. Is 1% bf loss per month safe/possible?

[davidolson22]

I think you are about 25%.

1% a month is entirely safe and possible. That's only about 1.5-2 pounds a month (depending on how much of it is fat)

[sheedy1]

I think 25% also

[icecold14422]

i'm 6' 1" and 173 lbs. what do you guys think? I'm trying to cut until my lower abs show, then clean bulk my way to a good size while trying dat creatine.

Good physic man I would say your on 9 % atm

[davidolson22]

icecold - 12-15%. At 10-12% your abs would show completely without flexing. You are almost there.

[Lirette55]

Hey guys, wanted to know if you could give me a quick estimation as to my body fat %. Been losing since April (from 206.6 to 177 as of last Monday). I feel I've made progress but I still feel seriously...fat, albeit smaller. :/ I have a bit of muscle, but not very much and I cannot, for the life of me, get rid of these "moobs". But I'm sure it'll come once I hit a lower BF%. Here are my stats:

Age: 21
Height: 5'8-5'9
Weight: 177.0 lbs (as of Monday)

As to how I've lost, I've been eating in a deficit constantly, haven't been cheating any meals, and have been biking pretty hard about 3x a week. Haven't been lifting but I'm planning on starting today.

Also any tips/advice from people who have lost on how to avoid problems like loose skin, best way to go about losing it, supplements they used, etc. would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[davidolson22]

Lirette55-

25% bf. I doubt you'll ahve loose skin unless you cut from 250+ pounds.

My top, top weight was 220. I bought one of those body fat/hydration/bone mass reading scales (not sure how accurate it is), and my readings are 23.1 % body fat.

And that's great news, I'm terrified of having loose skin.

Can anyone think of anything that I should add to what I'm doing? I've literally lost this weight by eating clean (literally no junk food like pop, candy, chocolate, etc.) + eating only when my stomach growls, drinking a TON of water and biking a few times a week (when I bike, I generally go 30-60km at about a 28-30kmh pace). I'm debating incorporating strength training (I've been recommended by a few people on here to do it, but I still wonder if I should just keep at 100% cutting until I feel ready to "bulk").

And another thing, does anyone have enough first-hand experience with fat loss to know if I will be able to lose the moobs? Maybe it's just a physical disorder, but I guess everyone who has chest fat feels like they have gynecomastia, including myself. I've carried the weight up there all my life, I'm just wondering if it's possible (has been done) where someone has lost that and actually has a flat chest now.

Thanks again.

New lifters can gain muscle mass even on a cut. More muscle mass==better body fat percentage at the same weight. THat is, you won't have to cut as long or as low.

>And another thing, does anyone have enough first-hand experience with fat loss to know if I will be able to lose the moobs?

People have done lost them before by exercising and losing fat.

Perfect, thanks for the help.
