I just found an old gym record of my body composition stats that I had done at the gym when I started my weight loss journey five years ago, and I am slightly impressed by it - but I might be just overly glad that I am not there anymore...


I'm 5'8 and almost 44 - started out at 227lbs, body fat percentage of 49.4, fat mass of 111.4 lbs and muscle etc mass of 116...


Went to the gym today and did a body comp again, and I am currently 177, body fat % of 29%, fat mass of 52lbs and muscle etc at 125....

Which means (if I don't have it all messed up) that I lost 50lbs all over - 59lbs of fat mass, and actually gained 9lbs of muscle.... Does that sound right?

I was seriously afraid that I've lost too much muscle, because I did mostly running, with a couple of days a week some resistance training like JM's 30day shred or a kettlebell workout (max 15lbs)...
I only started heavy (er) lifting a couple of weeks ago, which is one of the reasons I wanted to get a new baseline on my bodyfat %....
