Not surprising, right?
My body fat last December when I initially reached goal was 19.7%, taken at the YMCA, with a +/- 3.5% error. I had the same person test me as I was losing the weight, and she also tested me today, almost one year later.
I have complained on here for the past six months about my migraines and cluster headaches that have really run me ragged. I no longer workout as frequently or consistently as I used to. Basically went from an average of 4 times a week, to maybe just once or twice. My intensity has also gone down, because exercise can often cause my migraines (like today...yippee skippy...)
So....I was 19.8% today. Blown away. How can I basically be the same and yet barely working out? I read all the time on 3FC about heavy lifting and changing your body fat, etc. I was convinced my composition must have changed, despite wearing the same size clothing and being the same goal weight.
And it did...slightly. My arms and chest are a hair skinnier, and my waist and thighs a hair bigger. So body fat did redistribute. And I know this is a GOOD NSV, I just want someone knowledgable to explain this, if they can!
I eat well, in my opinion, and do move quite a bit throughout the day naturally, but how can I be the same BF% without the same amount of exercise???
