BF% and Weight Loss Question

[Devon06]

I am currently 200lbs and am looking to drop more than a few % in BF by june. I am starting as of tomorrow a routine in which i will do my normal workouts which are monday to friday as well as 40 mins of cardio each day. As well as a 1.5 hour kickboxing class and 1.5 hour jiu jitsu class on tuesdays and a 1.5 hour jiu jitsu class on thursdays. I also am going to eat less and more healthy. Would any of you say that it is realistic to achieve a good amount of fat loss and muscle gain as well as be able to show my abs by lets say mid june?

Once i figure out how to post pics on here i will put them on so u can estimate my BF% lol

You can do a lot in 2 and a half months but I don't know if you'll have well defined abs or not when that time comes.

got pics up now so please give me estimates on BF% and whether or not you think i could define my abs by june thank you

You can definitely make them look better by June, but you look too far off to get a 6 pack with anything less than a perfect diet and tons of cardio.

[Devon06]

Ok. So do you think I could at Least get the outline of them by then?

Depends on what you have underneath that fat but look at this other thread. This guy had slightly visible abs and after 2 months he lost 17 lbs but looked much more defined. I would definately keep lifting though and dont just do cardio.

[Devon06]

I'm planning on lifting Monday to Friday as well as doing cardio Monday to Friday along with kickboxing and jiu jitsu classes and eating less and more healthy.

Diet is more important than all the working out you will do
Good luck.
(terrible at estimating BF%, will not try)

Just to reiterate what's been said, get on Fitday.com and start a food log. You will never know how much you are really eating until you track it. I track it still, for almost a year, I took 3 months off and gained 12 lbs. Now I track everyday, it holds me accountable at every meal.

It sounds like a big pain in the ass, but just doing this will tell you if you are eating too much.

Like everyone else said, it depends on how much muscle you have underneath the fat. I'd estimate your BF% to be around 17-19 or so right now, hard to tell with just the 1 angle picture.

I would say its possible, but you would really have to bust your ass. You couldn't have many messups and you'd have to be as intense as you could at the gym each and every session(which is very, very hard for 2 and 1/2 straight months). If the others estimating your BF at around 17-19% you'd need to drop about 8-10% BF in 2 and 1/2 months.

[Devon06]

Is that a realistic amount of BF% to lose in that period of time? How many lbs would that be approx.?

Looking at your previous posts.... You haven't gotten anywhere or learned anything since last June?

Now you suddenly need to know your body fat % and must have abs by June? You're about 20% body fat.

Nothing has changed....

Abs are made in the kitchen... You can lose 2 pounds per week IF you eat at 1,000 calorie per day deficit.

That means in 10 weeks you can lose 20 pounds....that will put you down to 180

You wont' have great abs, you'll have an outline.

What is your SET DIET? How many calories? May I suggest about 1800 if you are serious about dropping the fat?

If you're not counting calories, you're not making progress...
