Hi there everyone!
I have been lurking here for a few months now. and thought this was the best place to post. I started training more seriously & focusing on my nutrition back in May and have made some great progress. I went for my first Dexa scan today and was hoping I would have been sitting a bit closer to 20% body fat but am sitting at 26% at the moment. My goals are to increase lean muscle mass, and reduce my body fat percentage to 20%. Is this a reasonable goal for a 6 month timeline?
I currently lift 4-5/ week and do cardio 6-7/week (I love running, I will not give it up but do not run more than 3 times a week). I am trying to find where I can tighten up my nutrition as well. I was 145lbs in May when I started and am at 136 right now, but I don't feel the scale reflects how huge the changes have been over all (avg 2.5 inches lost all over, almost 4 from my waist, and none of my clothes fit anymore). So am hoping that with consistency I will be able to reach my 20% goal.
TL; DR Am I being realistic to want to reach 20% in 6 months?
Thanks folx!
