Well I just got some news that shot a hole in my new goals. I had the personal trainer test my body fat using calipers which are more accurate than my scale and she said that I'm at 10%.
I guess that means that I either just have genes that won't allow my abs to show up no matter what or that they are just still so underdeveloped that they can't be seen. The trainer also suggested that since I had lost so much weight so fast that maybe I had a lot of loose skin around my stomach that hasn't had time to tighten up yet. Hopefully that is the case.
I guess one thing is for sure though, I don't really have that much fat to lost to be at 8%, and at that point I guess I just have to work hard to build more muscle. Based on this new information, I only need to get down to 180 or 181 to be at 8%. 172 did seem pretty low, but hey I'm a numbers guy so I believed it.
Back to the drawing board. I keep learning more and more about this stuff as time goes on.
