My goals today: stay warm, teach spin class, prepare for snow [it's supposed to snow 2-6" today] BRRRR!
I'm down 5 lbs for Mr. Q's Weight Loss Challenge. The easy part for me is now over. The other 11 lbs I want to lose are going to be a huge challenge. I'm ramping up the cycling, easing back on the running and now on a regular weight lifting routine. I need need to focus on lowering my body fat % instead of weight as the activities I'm doing have the power to increase my weight [muscle weighs more than fat - that's a good thing] So, I was at Sam's the other day and came across this scale that not only measures your current weight, but your body fat %. It was $30, so worth a shot. Well, you get what you pay for. My body fat% registered as Er3. hmmmm. Obviously an error. An error we are having trouble remedying. So the scale is going back today. Wondering if I'll have any influence on purchasing the $150 top dog BMI/body fat/lb scale? :)
Hope you all had a great weekend! Stay warm.

I have one of the Tanita scales that includes a body fat monitor. I know it was less than $50, but don't remember exactly what it cost. I'm not sure it's accurate (as in I think it registers my body fat higher than it is), but I find it useful for comparison and do feel that when it shows a body fat decrease it's showing a real decrease. (Did that makes sense? LOL) Good job on the weight loss. I've only lost one pound officially, but I went up the day after I turned in my weight, so I'm really down three for the week. And yeah, I'm into the difficult last 5 pounds now. Sigh.
yeah woman are big shoppers. It ticks me off how cheep a lot of womans cloths are.. I go buy a pair of pants, shirt and tie for work and I'm pushing a grand.. the girlfriend comes home with a great outfit for $40!! wtf!
Cheers.
I don't know what to think of the scales that give out a body fat %. They seem to fluctuate a lot and I just don't see how that is possible.
Snow? Sheesh - stay warm!!
My MIL's scale has the body fat %age on it - I don't think they're supposed to be that accurate. But as long as I see mine trending south, I'm a happy camper.
Ooooo killer on the weight loss. Very nice ;D ;D
You are 1/3 of the way to your goal! Rock on! :) I've got about the same amount I want to get rid of (10-15lbs). Yesh! I think it is really the toughest part to trim off. Our bodies don't want to give it up. :)
