Hey everyone I'm hoping someone can help me. When I went for my first weigh in I wasn't in complete shock but still a little upset but we have to start somewhere. Anyway 2 weeks later I went and weighed myself and I had put on a pound but had apparently lost 5.7% body fat. I read a post on here that said it could take at least 2months to lose that. So is it possible to lose that % of body fat in 2 weeks?Thanks

    probably not, but then it's highly unlikely a scale could accurately measure your body fat. most bodyfat scales partly use an algorithm to help determine your body fat levels, and your hydration can affect the readings,also - so if you are retaining water on day occasion and not on another, you'll see a difference.

    A body fat scale you stand on? Those things are wildly inaccurate. Don't worry about it.
