My body fat tested and I’m feeling extremely sad and discouraged

My body fat tested and I’m feeling extremely sad and discouraged. I’ve been working so hard and I am kind of stuck so I thought I would go get a DEXA fit scan and my body fat percentage was off their charts I’m 43.9% body fat! I know better but mentally in my head I was saying oh as long as I’m in my mid-30s I will be OK and not only am I not that I’m much more. I’ve been working hard since January and I’ve been stuck so I was hoping maybe I was just gaining muscle

Sorry you're bummed out! Maybe 43% is a major improvement from where you started! Keep it up! :flowerforyou:

Sorry you're feeling bad. Try and focus on the fact that you have been working hard and have no doubt made progress from where you were at the start of the year. Keep it up and am sure the numbers will keep going down x

I am on the same jorney as you. It is a difficult one and it is hard, but you are on your way. It is ok, because if you stick to it, a month from now, you will see the change and it will motivate you.

Just keep going. Use this for motivation and see where you are a couple months from now. You got this!

At least you were brave enough to learn the truth and now you can work at doing something about it.. Take the information and empower yourself. Maybe work more of building muscle ..perhaps you lost some losing weight? Talk to a professional and figure out a plan. Keep up your good work.
