    Congrats on the progress. I wouldn't get to caught up in the numbers. If you're measuring on the same machine all that I would be concerned about is that the number is going down. Sure your actual body fat percentage may be a little different however the way this machine is measuring shows a 7% BF loss which is awesome.

    As someone else mentioned, the math looks like this:
    Beginning 198 pounds at 49% body fat= 198 x .49 = 97.02 pounds of fat.
    Now 172 pounds at 42% body fat = 172 x .42 = 72.24 pounds of fat.

    97.02- 72.24 = 24.78 pounds of fat lost. Considering you said you've lost 26 pounds I would say you're on the right track. You might want to stick with using that scale for your measurements.
