I had my body fat tested with the underwater hydrostatic method. I'm 39 pounds fat, 106 pounds lean, total 145, and 27% body fat.

I was surprised that I had that much fat left on my body, after having lost 30.

So now what? I'd like to lose more fat, but I don't want to cut calories again. I'm thinking about weight training to put on some more muscle.

27% body fat isn't terrible, isn't it just 2% over average? I would just concentrate on cleaning up your diet (avoiding processed foods, etc), cardio and weight training

I would definitely look into weight training to build muscle and lose that last little bit of fat... Congrats on your weightloss

Thanks for moving the thread. Yes, I'm looking into weightlifting.

Please, please, tell us more about that method of fat measurement. I know it is truly the gold standard; the most accurate method by far.......how much did it cost and how did you get it arranged? I have not even heard of it offered.

A friend and I got it done at a local gym, and they charged us each $60.

Redlight, weight training is the way to go. I had my body fat tested (with calipers) right as I met my weight loss goal and was starting up with a weight training program. In 6 weeks I went from 22.2% to 20.5% body fat--that's 1.7% in 6 weeks. I lost of couple of pounds too, but mostly I lost body fat and gained 1lb of lean mass. It's all good!
