I have lost 3 lbs and a couple inches from all over and my body fat went down 7% in 1 month. Does that even sound right or have I messed up my calculations? I used the fat2fit.com/tools. Thanks!

    Just wondering if I should re-measure or just wait until next month to see what happens?

    Generally speaking, I'd say no, that doesn't sound right. Not by losing only three pounds.

    However, if you really have lost inches everywhere, my guess is that you might be holding onto a bit of water weight that you didn't have before. In which case, a drop of 7% BF seems like it's feasible.

    Assuming you're not done, but have lost 3 lbs, keep doing what you're doing and remeasure and recalculate next month.
