Body Fat NSV

When I joined my gym back in the Fall, they took my vital statistics. All except for body fat percentage. That's because I was literally off the chart for the machine. They use that hand-held machine to gauge your body fat. Apparently, it only measures up to 50% body fat. Mine was too high to measure.
I used various on-line body fat calculators, but that gave me wildly different results ( from 49% to 62.2%).
Well, finally, using the machine at the gym, I'm on the charts! No telling where I started there, but according to the machine I am now at 46% body fat. I know, I know, that's still huge. But, at least I'm going in the right direction and I can actually chart my results!
Yippee! I'm not just losing pounds, I'm losing fat! Down 52 pounds and an unknown percentage of fat. And lifting sort of heavy (I'm working on it!)
