Well thank you!!!! :-)

Well, the reason I'm asking is because I have some places on me where I feel like I feel like I could lose some fat, but I know you can't spot reduce or simultaneously lose fat/gain muscle. I was curious what people would suggest. Cut and lose more fat and potentially muscle, or just start a clean bulk?

I posted this same topic under another thread, it's still there :-) I haven't deleted any comments. Thanks for your feedback!

Yeah, I've always heard the BF scales and body calipers are the most inaccurate.

Actually, I'm a licensed physical therapist assistant so I'm up treating patients in the clinic 8 hrs a day. I rarely sit longer than 5 minutes during the day. The only day I'm sedentary is mostly weekends.

I'm researching a local hydrostatic test I could go to just for comparison. It's tough though, bc I'm in central MS, which I doubt I can find one fairly close. Of course these tell me where I got this test done, that it was the most accurate way (next to the hydrostatic test) So, it's got me wondering.

It was only $40. I'll give it another shot for comparison and go by the second test whether or not I keep using it. I guess my expectations were a lower body fat, which I'm sure I'm not the only one. I live in central Mississippi, no chance on a DEXA or hydro scan, that I'm aware of.

I'm reaching out for others' advice and opinions. Wondering if anyone else is in my boat? Lighten up will you?! Sorry not sorry if I'm a huge critic for myself! You can't set and reach goals if you aren't critical. At least I'm trying my best to do what I need to do! I'm reaching out for others' advice and opinions.…

Well thank you

Why comment?! There are many reasons why I take the test, among thousands of others who take it. And no, the mirror isn't always the best method. Ever heard of water weight? Bloat? It's good to get a scientific measurement. Plus, as a female, we can often become too critical of ourselves in the mirror.

So yeah, update. I went to have a BodPod bodyfat test done and right now I'm 131 (5'7'') at 26.9% bodyfat. That's considered moderately lean, which I'm ok with, I was hoping for another percentage, but it is was it is. According to BodPod, my TDEE is 1,195 and for an active person, I should be eating 2,079 a day.

Thanks ma'am :-) yeah, being a woman sucks sometimes with where the fat wants to hang out. I just got done with a BodPod test to measure body fat and I'm 26.9 at 131lbs. I think I'll do a clean bulk and get to about 140 then re-evaluate. Good luck on your journey!!! Thanks for letting me about that "women who bulk" group,…

Lol there is no difference between slow bulk vs clean bulk. They are used interchangeably. You either bulk with a small surplus (clean/slow) or you eat at a large surplus (traditional/dirty.) I was eating 1,600 on a cut diet. Every 2-3 hrs. Biggest meal was breakfast. I'm very meticulous with my diet. I get at least 131g…
