My personal trainer took my body fat percentage today (she uses a caliper) and I'm down 2% from last week! That's the biggest jump I've had! So that brings me down to 29.8% and qualifies me for "overweight" instead of "obese"!! I'm so excited! My goal is to be around 22-23% body fat by the end.

I started at 34% body fat, so even though I've only lost 19 lbs, I've lost 4% body fat and gained a LOT of muscle.

Can't wait to see where I'll be over the next few months!

    That is awesome! I know what you mean. I do daily body test on my WII Fit and when I went from obese to overweight, it was a great feeling!

    I remember thinking how funny it sounded, though. I ran to my husband and was jumping and hugged him and yelled, "I'm overweight now!" :huh: But he knew about the Wii and he was happy for me. :wink:

    This is interesting. According to my body fat tester kit (I got from Amazon - a caliper) I'm at 28. something percent body fat. I'm 5'2" and about 127 and it shows me on the low end of "average" (as opposed to "ideal"). I'm in a "healthy" weight range. Even when my body fat percentage was 30% it was considered average, not overweight.

    Congratulations!!!
