    My goal is to reach 10% body fat by year end... actually by 12/30 because that is when my Dexa is scheduled. I'm going to list weight and BF% based on my scale, which is going to fluctuate at times as diet changes. On some days - and I know when those are based on diet - it will be inaccurate.

    From round 22:
    Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
    11/9 - 149.6 lbs. - 16.8% - scale is reading higher than actual BF%

    11/10 - 148.4 lbs. - 15.9% - scale is still higher than actual BF%, but getting closer to actual

    11/11 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.9% - scale is higher than actual BF%, this time not expected

    11/12 - 148.6 - 16.8% - scale is still showing higher than actual BF%, still not entirely expected. I have a theory as to what is driving the incorrectly high BF%.

    11/13 - 148.6 lbs. - 18.5% - Yesterday was a re-feed / glycogen replenishment day. I'm surprised weight did not also increase, but expected BF% to be unreliable. I expect it to remain that way for the next 2-3 days.

    11/14 - 147.2 lbs. - 16.4% - Depending on whether I eat a lot of fibrous green vegetables today, BF% will either stay pretty stable by tomorrow morning or will decrease. I may find it hard to feel full without lettuce or green beans... but since scale BF% is just artificially high if I eat them and real BF% is not truly much different, I'm probably going to eat greens if I'm hungry anyway.

    11/15 - 146.4 - 15.6% - No veg yesterday, scale is closer to a correct BF%.

    11/16 - 146.2 lbs. - 14.9% - No veg yesterday again, and BF% is almost right where I would expect Dexa to come up. The idea that eating low carb green / fibrous veggies would affect the scale BF% so much is a relatively new revelation. Thinking back, the last Dexa was 0.3% lower than the scale on that same day (that is extremely close); and my scale is ALWAYS higher than any other measurement method or device - including other bio-electric impedance devices, which are always super low. When that last Dexa was taken and it was almost the same as the scale, I had not eaten plants for 45 days prior (except coffee, tea, and small quantities of seasonings and sauces). I still plan to eat some low carb (net carb) fibrous veggies while I continue to strive for 10% BF by 12/30, but will do take breaks occasionally to get a better idea of where Dexa will come in.

    11/17 - 147.8 lbs. - 13.9% - Slight weight increase, not sure why... probably water weight. Another day without veg and BF% is spot on as close as I'm going to get to being real. Tomorrow is going to be high again based on today's planned diet.

    11/18- 146.0 lbs. - 15.4% - Did not expect weight to decrease, but expected reported BF% to rise.

    Day - Weight - BF% - Comment
    11/19 - 145.8 lbs. - 13.5% - Did not expect BF% to drop this much this fast.

    11/20 - 147.6 lbs. - 16.2% - Both increases were expected based on yesterday's food plan. Should see decrease over the next few days until Fri. morning, which will go back up again.

    11/21 - 147.0 lbs. - 15.7% - Expected a small decrease. Expect another small decrease tomorrow.

    11/22 - 146.6 lbs. - 15.3%

    11/23 - 145.6 lbs. - 14.8% - Will be higher tomorrow.

    11/24 - 147.2 lbs. - 14.4% - Did not expect BF to decrease, but maybe that is delayed...

    Day/Weight/Comment
    11/19 - 185 - lunch with old friend and ribs for dinner. Feel like I made healthy choices so not worried about this gain.
    11/20 - 184.2 - moving in the right direction. Introducing alcohol back into my diet slows the process to a crawl. Truly need to get a handle on drinking.
    11/21 - 183.4 - Back to my end 22 weight, I feel good but the weight is dropping so slowly, all I want for Christmas is the 170's.... :smile:
    11/22 - 183.2 - Decided to meal prep and made a wonderful crustless quiche with broccoli, roasted red pepper, red onion, fresh dill, all the good stuff. It smelled delicious and looked beautiful and festive. I carefully recorded and weighed every ingredient for my log. I left it to cool on the stove and my stepson spied it and asked if he could have some. Long story short - he used a stool to get a small plate from an upper shelf and left the stool at the counter and when I walked into the kitchen next there was an opportunistic Chihuahua eating the quiche. I just wanted to cry.
    11/23 - 182.8 - new low! Canadian's have already had our Thanksgiving day feast in October so it's smooth sailing for me until Christmas! Happy Turkey Day to my friends that celebrate it.
    11/24 - 182.4 - Hubby to me, "Why are you weighing your new pajama's? - Me, "So I don't have to get on the scale naked tomorrow morning, duh!" - Hubby, "Sigh" (I like that he likes me naked, personally I think I look like a duvet, lol.

    @nikki062181 I am so sorry for your loss. I hope you have this time to be surrounded by loved ones.

    Thank you sweetheart. It's been rough. It's like people expect you to just move on like you aren't missing an integral part of your life. That doesn't happen overnight.
