Porchmom,
I'm in the same situation. I'm 1# away from my goal. I'm at a healthy BMI,
but my% of body fat is still too high and I still have a fat belly. I just noticed that we are the same height and your weight is way lower than mine. I'm surprised that your % of body fat is still too high. I know from my calculations that I've lost some muscle on this diet. The fat % reading that the center gives us is looking at the ratio of body fat to lean mass. I read somewhere that one way to change that ratio was to build muscle....The suggestion was to lift weights, with a focus on core workouts. I will check out the belly fat diet.
