How long does it take to drop fat?

[notbigenuff]

I know that this is a question with no exact answer but I have to ask because I'm getting impatient.

Here's my story:

41 years old 5'10" started training in January 2003 after not touching a weight since high school. In April I went to a trainer and had my bf% checked with calipers. I weighed 234 and I was at 23%.

I've been going back and having it checked once month since then. Right now I weigh 240 and the bf is 14%.

Since April I've averaged 60 grams of carbs a day, around 200 grams of protein a day and as little fat as possible. I wll carb up a little (150 grams) on leg and back days. I'm doing 30 minutes of cardio (stairmaster) 3 or 4 times a week.

Is this decent progress? I'd like to get the bf down below 10%.

Suggestions and comments are welcome.

Thanks

No it's not decent......it's awesome !!

Those are some simply amazing changes in bf%, especially considering us older guys have a harder time dropping bf. If you keep it up at even half that pace, you reach your goal in no time.

Congrats.......

Losing fat gets harder as you go. I see you take in as little fat as possible, but supplementing with fish or flax oil (something rich in Omega 3's) will actually help you lose that fat quicker and make better use of it when burnt.
