I'm very happy. My body fat percentage just keeps on going down, and my weight is stable. Couldn't ask for a better result
From 17% at the start to 13.1% today.

Talking about BF% I might as well throw away my scale, I conducted a test, I held my 20kg dumbells and stepped on my scale to measure bodyfat, theoretically my bodyfat shouldnt have moved (As the scale is meant to calculate it depending on electrical resistance of the different tissues) but BF shot up to over 30%.
Piece of crap
What do you use to measure mister?
Shuan 24% to 17%, thats 7% well done

yes that's bloody awesome!
The weight training is coming along great so that's really helped. That's why I had to adjust my goal weight as well. I have around 4 pounds around my waist that needs to go and then I will be in a happy place![]()
LOL! Of course the thing isn't going to measure properly if you pick up weights! They use bioelectrical impedance and formulas, which don't include holding a hunk of iron! I use a Omron Full Body Sensor, the one with the hand held, and foot sensors. It was the most accurate one I could find.
I also don't think it's entirely accurate, and of course they fluctuate depending on how much water you are holding, but as long as it's moving in the right direction I'm happy.
Maybe the omron range are better
my point is why did it lump all the steel into fat, my photographic evidence (abs are coming out and getting transverse abdomonis) shows I have lost fat, yet "BF" reading hasn't changed since I started.
Think I need some calipres
Scale shows 21%, top 2 abs visible, second 2 slightly raised, bottom still invisible. still have some of dem love handles
Still stuck at 104kg. yargh.
