I think I'm getting much more consistent with using my calipers... and either way if I'm doing it wrong at least I'm doing it wrong consistently :) I'm losing a LOT more slowly than I have been this whole process but to be honest my caliper measurements did have me losing a little bit of lean mass for a bit. I, being a slave to my scale, ignore that fact instead just happy to see my BIG number getting smaller. So here are the screen shots of my body fat % calculations.
I'd have to look up the dates that correlate to these screen shots but if you'll notice I had actually lost 2 pounds of lean mass at the beginning of this month and I haven't lost a damn thing all month so far so I figured I really out to pull out my trusty calipers and take some measurements... so stinkin glad I did!!! See??! I was busy building up my lean mass! I lost almost 2% of body fat even though my scale stayed the same :)
THIS is why the scale cannot be your only tool for measuring progress! I'm so happy that I take these measurements :)
Oh... and in case you're wondering on the consistency of those bottom two numbers... I can never remember which is subscapular or iliac so I just plug those into either because I've swapped them around and the calculator still comes up with the same numbers on top :)
I would never have thought to do this if not for Nichole at
