Okay, I need to run some numbers by some of you...
When I began IP I weighed 285.1 and was 48% body fat. That mean that 52% of me was not fat or 148 pounds which means if my goal was to have 20% body fat then my ideal weight would be 185. (148/.8).
Now, I weigh 229.8 and 43.1% body fat. That means 56.9% of me is not fat or 130.7 pounds which with the same goal would mean that my idea weight is 163.5.
This also means that someplace along the way, I have lost almost 18 pounds of something that is not fat. If I have lost 55 pounds on IP and 18 of that is not fat then 32% of what I've lost is not fat. I was pretty sure that the goal of IP was to lose fat and not muscle. It would seem those numbers indicate something very different.
I realize that this all assumes that the device used to measure body fat is accurate, but it's been the same device all along.
I get copies of my weights and measures every week and my husband went through and crunched the numbers and it looks like there has been a steady decline throughout my weight loss other than the first few weeks after I got out of my cast and got back to dancing. This kind of makes me rethink the theory of not exercising.
Anyone want to weigh in with thoughts on this?
