That's 36% body fat at 160.6, and 36% body fat at 164.2. Does that seem weird? I have a WW scale that calculates BF% and that shows somewhere around 32.0-32.8% when I use it (and it measures me at the same weight as my coach's scale).
Also, last week I only lost 0.6 lb but lost 4 inches while this week I lost 3lbs and only 0.5 inches. What the heck? Does this happen to everybody? Either way, I am determined to make my goal...
I only have to lose 4.6 more pounds to be back within height and weight standards for the Navy
Not seeing what your scan chart looks like, is it possible that your percentages are different because of your lean mass? Maybe if your lean mass went down, then the percentage would have stayed about the same. Not sure about the differences with the scale - although I know at our clinic the scan is on the computer, where the scale is not.
As far as the inches lost one week, and pounds the next - those are pretty good numbers and I know they happened to me all the time! Especially when you dont have as much to lose! Keep at a 100% and the pounds will come off!!!
Been a rough day for me today - not for myself, but watching my friend (also coworker) on this diet, and she is NOT following and I'm so frustrated when I hear her talking to other coworkers about the diet and she's not even following! Plus, she can afford ($) to be on this plan, however, my other friend, who is doing FABULOUSLY struggles financially and may not be able to stay on because of $$$!!!! I'm so torn!
Anyway - WI tonight, and I will be starting Phase 2 this weekend!!!! Maintenance here I come!
