Dear /fit/,I have a spatial disability. That means I'm fucked if I try to do math. Time to put those algebra skills to use.I started off at 206 pounds, at 45% body fat. Today, I walk the earth at 168 pounds at 25% body fat. I have also gained approximately 15 pounds of muscle.With all this given information, can you tell me how many pounds of pure fat I have lost?Pic related due to being me.
>>12160523lbs??
Is this a trick question where if i was on a train going forward and i'm running forward with the train so i would be running faster then i would if i was running backward. Almost with the ablity to create a falcon punch too?
>>121605i have to say, me brain hurts. how do you know you gained 15lbs of muscle?
OP is prolly around 5'6" to 5'8"
I'm 5'5"I don't know for sure if it was 15 pounds of muscle. It's just a very rough guess, based on what I've read, combined with the strength and size gains I've made.23 pounds? Is that all? I think I've lost more than that, no?
51 lb
>>121628talk us through it buddy
206-168+15 = 53lbs fatYour weight dropped by 38lbs, and you exchanged 15lbs of fat for muscle.
>>121636This seems the most straightforward of the answers, not least because he explains it. It *looks* like it makes sense.Can anyone else confirm it? We've gotten 3 answers so far, heh.
>>121605205(start) -168(finish)-15(muscle so it doesn't count) = 22lbs fat lost
>>121676err, 206 not 205, so 23 not 22.
>>121647i'm the guy who said 23, but im drunk. this answer makes more sense (53). i subtracted the muscled gained from the net loss instead
206 x 0.45 = 92.7 pounds168 - 15 = 153 pounds92.7 - (153 x 0.25) = 54.45In total: You lost 54.45lbs (and also the game)Fuck you guys suck at mathsAlso, OP, I understand your hips are turning to the side whilst you're turning your chest towards the mirror to make yourself look more slimline. yeah.. doesn't really work
>>121741fucking shit, i just lost the game too!
>>121605not sure about the maths, but judging on that pic you've done way to much arm work and not enough on the rest of your body. Get some bench and deads going on...AND MAKE THEM HEAVY!
>>121741Actually, scratch that. The 15 pounds doesn't add on to BF% seeing as it's not fat. So you lost 50.7lbs of the game.
eh you guys?Before: 206*0.45=92.7After: 168*0.25=42result: 92.7-42=50.7
>>121741It's a trick Arnold used to use. If it was good enough for Arnold, it's good enough for me.Thanks for your effort, guys!
>>121806steroids were good enough for ahnold.ARE YOU GOING TO START DOING STEROIDS TOO?
>>121610>>121676>>121680>>121741My god, you really are terrible at math.>>121774>>121800Correct.
>>121800You're a whole 16 minutes late
>>121812I am on steroids. Endogenous ones! DURRR HURR HURR :DThanks for all the number-crunching. I'm gonna go with 50.7, it seems like the most credible statistic.
>>121827>121741 doesn't count seeing as I posted >121774
