This time last year I weighed 12lbs less than I currently do, and recently I've been getting so frustrated that I can't seem to be able to get back to that point. But yesterday I was looking through old photos and realised that, despite the weight difference, I look about the same size and I'm wearing the same jeans; so I decided to get my body fat percentage checked.
I tried a few different methods and got an average of 21% (the lower end of "fit" and 1% away from "athletic"), compared to last year when my body fat % was probably about 25/26 and I looked "skinny-fat".
I'm so much happier, stronger and healthier now and, honestly, being able to see some stomach definition is far more rewarding than seeing an arbitrary number on the scale. I think it's time to re-adjust my goals :
