Phase 2 Weigh In
According to @ChatGPT, it suggested to wait until today to weigh in because it would be enough time after my period to get rid of the extra water retention plus I went hiking yesterday…
Okay we were supposed to go up to Woods Canyon Lake but because my husband slept in and we were too tired first thing in the morning for a 2-2.5 hour drive there and then back (4-5 hours total)… we ended up on a nature walk. I will post pictures of our friends that followed us around🥰🐦⬛🐇
Though it doesn’t look like I lost a lot in the last 18 days, I can tell you that I was definitely fluctuating between 176-177 at the beginning so getting. Back closer to my body weight goal is a win for me.
Phase 2 I will be working on cutting body fat as well as increasing my workout time (previous was 10-15 and now I’m working on 15-20 the first half of November and 20-25 the second half).

Tracking weight and body fat percentage changes during a fitness journey can be motivating and insightful. Based on the weigh-in data and OCR details, the reduction from 176.4 lbs with 26.8% body fat to 175.5 lbs and 26.6% body fat in Phase 2 shows a steady but positive shift. It’s important to recognize that weight fluctuations are normal, especially with factors like menstrual cycles affecting water retention. Waiting until after the period to weigh in, as suggested, provides a more accurate reflection of fat loss rather than temporary weight changes due to water. Increasing workout duration from 10-15 minutes to 20-25 minutes gradually helps to boost metabolism and improve fat burning, which aligns well with cutting body fat goals. A focus on fat-free body weight, skeletal muscle mass, and metabolism rate is equally important. The body fat percentage reduction, along with a maintained BMI and excellent muscle mass and bone mass indicators, highlights an overall healthy progression. Incorporating outdoor activities like hiking and nature walks near places such as Woods Canyon Lake not only supports physical health but also enhances mental well-being. For those on similar weight loss or fat loss challenges, it’s valuable to set realistic goals and celebrate small wins like stabilizing weight closer to your target. Tracking subcutaneous fat, visceral fat, and metabolic age offers deeper insight into body composition improvements beyond just the number on the scale. Consistency with workouts and mindful nutrition will further contribute to successful Phase 2 outcomes.
