Hi everyone, so I've been checking in every few days or so, and it keeps saying that i'm gaining weight but losing body fat. I don't necessarily think I'm gaining muscle, but i went from 112-115 and my body fat went from 14.6%-10.5%.......can anyone help me understand this?

    It's probably muscle gain, have you been exercising?

    What are you using to measure body fat/scale weight?

    Also, only measure once a week or so... other wise you will get skewed numbers.

    Not likely.

    What does "checking in every few days" mean? How are you calculating body fat %?

    it's probably your crappy all-in-one scale. those are horribly inaccurate.

    Unless you're super otter mode, I don't see these numbers being accurate.
