Trixie's weight loss regime and progress

Trixies' measurements	Trixies's weight loss
Before Weight Loss - June 2005 Initial Weight 13.65kg
End of Weight Loss - April 2007 Final Weight 7.7kg

	Before weight loss	After weight loss
Weight (kg)	13.65	7.7
BF (%)	48.7	25.7
Lean *(%)	51.3	74.3
Total BF* (g)	6347	1801
Lean * (g)	6679	5210

Total weight loss = 5.95 kg (44% of starting weight)

Estimated total fat loss = 4546 g

Therefore, 76%of the weight lost was fat.

This is good result; although it is slightly below the average expected loss of 80% BF / 20% NF, dogs losing a greater proportion of their body weight tend to lose more lean tissue.

*Please note, DXA measurements are slightly lower than weight scales
