Happy Friday, all! I was just wondering about your experience with losing body fat. How quickly did your percentage go down?
I've been "lifting heavy" for several months, and have gone down by about 1.5% from 38 to 36.4, and my weight has been stuck, or going up a smidge. I know that the Omron machines can be off a bit based on water intake, but the numbers have been reasonably consistent. Thanks!

Perfect day to ask this questions. The gym I go to, just check me this morning.

9/18/12 - 18.6%
10/18 - 13.7%
11/09 - 12.8%
I went from 165 lbs to 142.5, waist 39 to 33
I couldn't be more pleased! I've acually got some muscle. Today I finished an 8 week HIIT class. This class erased the fat right off.0 -
I lost 2% in 2 months from 35% to 33% and I've lost almost 2" in my waist and almost 2 in my hips. I'm really seeing improvement.0
