My starting lean weight was 204 lbs and my fat weight was 103 lbs. My final lean weight was 211 pounds and my final fat weight was 52 lbs, so I actually gained 7 lbs of muscle and lost 51 lbs of fat!
Starting body fat%-3.5%
Final Body fat%-19.9%
This was my biggest goal, to get under 20% body fat and I just made it!
3 minute step test/recovery heart rate starting-130 BPM (12th percentile)
Ending heart rate-69 BPM (99th percentile!!!)
When I did my first step test, I was very out of breath. My last step test just barely got me breathing.

Final resting heart rate-53 BPM (95th percentile...well above average)

I won't share all my body measurements, but I lost 7" on my waist, 1.5" on my neck and 5" off my chest. 21" in total.
Overall, I achieved almost every goal I set for myself at the start. I'm wearing new clothes (and more importantly, new sizes), I can run over 5 miles and am targeting a 15K in a few months. I'm less than 20 lbs from my goal weight, which shouldn't take me too long.
I'm back at the gym on my own now (I was there at 6:30 this morning after a 5:30 am run with Chad at Fitness Together) and am looking forward to continuing my progress. Thanks again to everyone that has been reading my blog over the last 5 months!
