weigh loss of 2.4lbs.  


I am a little confused. I had some blood work done this past Friday and the doc gave me the results yesterday. Even though I started this diet with 38% body fat I am actually really healthy. My cholesterol is normal, blood pressure, vit. D, RBC count.  I was really expecting some horrible news. Alhamdulillah.

Cheat DAY!`

Yesterday (SUNDAY) was my designated cheat day and I LOVED IT! I weighed myself today to see the after effects of it and I went up 3.8lbs. Today, however am back on my diet.

The cheat day was supposed to help me not plateau.  So far I am pretty happy with the way this diet is going.  ALhamdulillah.

Starting Information...

In the name of Allah, compassionate & merciful بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Peace be with you السلام عليكم

ok so this is my starting info (cringe worthy)
TOOLS:

1. I purchased a Escali bathroom scale
   
   
2. Orbitape Body Mass Tape (apparently the army uses it)
   
   
3. Slim Guide Skinfold Caliper (to measure the chubs)
   
   
4. 35lb/16kg Kettlebell
   
   

 

So after using the skinfold caliper to determine my percentage of fat by (1) measuring my upper arm (back), (2) front upper arm, (3)just below the shoulder blade, (4) side of waist.  Adding those 4 measurements up I got a total of 116mm which roughly translates to 38% body fat for someone 5'3" and 25 years old.  I was going to get it done via bodpod or DEXA, but one couldn't find one nearby and two I am not cool with the radiation specially after my recent miscarriage.

My starting weight is 156.6lbs (I weighed in at 160 at the doctors office during the pregnancy). 

my weight X percentage of fat = how many lbs of fat I have
156.6lbs X .38 =  59.5lbs of body fat

156.6lbs- 59.5lbs = 97.1 lbs of lean body mass.

Using the orbitape I measured my bicep, bust, waist, hip and thigh the total inches was =142.5 inches.  I will just be reporting over all inches lost publicly.

what gets measured gets managed

Salaams!

I am starting a new phase in my life inshaAllah. I am recovering from a miscarriage, have 30lbs over my I deal weight, two beautiful children, loving hubs who also wants to lose weight and clothes that no longer fit. Alhamdulillah. I will be doing the Slow-Carb diet by Tim Ferriss

The 4-Hour Body

not all of it is halal so I will be avoiding the haraam advice. I like him as an author and after reading the book and purchasing the needed equipment I am ready to try more vigorously.  I am still waiting for some tools to arrive in the mean time I will be posting my weight loss on this blog as well as inches lost as well. Seeing how I don't necessarily want to divulge my figure's figures nor would hub appreciate it I will only say I lost x amt of inches today or I lost a total amount of x inches. 

That way I can still record it.

I am soo excited!

trying to go back to my pre pregger weight

"it took 9 months to put it on...its ok if it takes you 9 months to take it off..."

My baby girl was born on Sept 18, 2010 at 11:55 pm! Alhamdulillah, totally enjoying her and my toddler, I am tandem nursing and the weight is just melting off me.  I am trying to eat more and have constant fluids because, alhamdulillah these kiddos can eat.  (btw my toddler is eating food regularly but I still nurse him to sleep or when he gets hurt, he is 23 months old and I will stop inshaAllah @ 30 months or before if he weans himself).

yup, am back trying to lose some baby weight.  At 9 months and ready to pop I was around 160-162lbs. My starting weight was 146, just weighed myself and I am 148-149 lbs so I lost about 14 or so pounds. ALHAMDULILLAH.

So far though I might just put on all that weight again because staring at me right now are a whole bunch of entenmanns goodies, ALL BUTTER loaf caked, cheese danish twist, Marshmallow iced devil's food cake, marble loaf cake and some other ones.  SO OH MY GOD do I need to watch it.  My first baby boy my starting weight was 130lbs so I am hoping to go back to that weight.  I also remember that for one month after birth I ate all kinds of junk food and gained a bunch of weight surpassing my prego weight.  Inshaallah I don't do it this time.  Make du'a for me!
