My starting body fat results
Here’s what I saw when I stepped on the new body fat scale this morning. The good news is that I met my December weight goal of 239 pounds or less. The bad news is that 33.3% of that weight is FAT!
I’m carrying 80 pounds of fat around. Yuck.
That’s why I took the picture after I stepped off the scale. You don’t want to see my fat feet!
If you look at the bar chart at the bottom of the display, the scale thinks my body fat percentage is high. According to body fat charts, 33.3% is WAY high.
Obese high.
But not The Biggest Loser obese high yet. J
I’m 46, male, and 5’ 10”. The healthy body fat percentage for me is 11% – 22%.
2012 is the year I lose the fat!
My goal is to lose at least 1 percentage point of body fat every month. I also want to lose 5 pounds a month. But body fat percentage is the more important measurement. If the 5 pounds is lost muscle or water, that won’t help me get healthy.
Just for the record, the scale measured my body muscle percentage at 31.1%. My bone mass is 3.2%. My body water is 51.6%.
I’m not sure what all those numbers mean, but when I find out I’ll tell you!
