I am about 8 lbs down since starting MFP a few months ago, and I was feeling a little discouraged that I wasn't losing faster. I also don't really know how much weight I want to lose since I am currently in better shape and much smaller than I have ever been. So I had my boss recheck my body fat with calipers and ( drum roll please) I am down to 19% !!!!! When I started I was at 22. It helped me to see that even though I might not be losing the pounds as quickly as I hoped I am definitely on the right track.

    I should add that I work at a gym, so calipers is something that we have on hand and my boss knows how to use them :)

    Yay! Losing body fat percentages rocks! Afterall, if you weighed 95 pounds but still looked fat, you'd probably still want to lose weight. :)
