The fitness challenge winner is judged on before and after measurements and photos. The winner will be the person the judges feel has made the most significant transformation of their body according to those pics and measurements. It’s hard to say exactly what they’re looking for. Could be the person who drops the most weight. That would be pretty dramatic. I’m not trying to lose any weight, I’m trying to drop the fat to show the muscle underneath, while at the same time, building up the muscle. This should actually result in some weight gain. I’m counting on the fact that Gold’s Gym is a body building establishment, and therefore, would want to highlight someone who makes a transformation from thin to muscular, as opposed to overweight to thin. This is just my theory. The process for achieving this requires strength training, cardio, and a very strict diet. I have slowly cut all fats and sugars out of my diet. My trainer has trained for and competed himself, and he is passing on this knowledge and guidance to me. The day of the weigh in, my body fat was at 21%. We are aiming for a reading of 14% by the end of the 12 weeks. I will be amazed if I reach that.
