So, 18.5 lbs. lost in 7 weeks. Congratulations, you're ahead of schedule. I'm just curious as to how you are measuring body fat. Are you using one of those sites that take in your weight, height, body type,age, etc for a ballpark estimate?

 

Good work! Keep at it.

 

The caliper test is better than that internet BMI formula, but the best way I know of is the submersible test. The way I understand it is you sit in a sling, are weighed while in the sling and then submerged in water and your weight is then taken while submerged. The more fat you have, the less you will weigh in the water and a formula takes it from there.

I've only had one official "fat" test taken and that was many years ago when they only used the calipers. I was just under 12% body fat, but I was very lean and wiry back then----and in my early 20's.
