At what time of the day are you taking the body fat measurement? If right after waking up your body is highly dehydrated and this will give you a very high body fat %. Best time is end of the afternoon before dinner time (and before working out) since your body is properly hydrated.

You don't need to exercise that much (your body needs some rest too) and most likely you're eating more calories than your think you are. Are you weighing your food? When you cook do you control everything that goes (e.g., olive oil, butter, etc.)? Do you "steal" bits of other people's food? Just some ideas...

Lift very heavy and with low repetition sets (e.g., 6 reps). But don't do the mistake of over-training.

What are your objectives? Most people don't need (and shouldn't have) more than 2 or 3 sessions per week. Lifting weights is just to stimulate muscle growth. The actual growth happens with the right nutrition (proper protein intake) and resting (long sleeping hours and definitely not over-training).

Of course you can do it (I do it too and I manage to lose 14kg in 4.5 months). But don't pay attention to the daily figure. Use an app or website like https://trendweight.com and just check the trend line. If it is going down keep the same routine, if it goes up eat less and/or exercise more. Simple... :)

Take the opportunity to have a healthy breakfast in the hotel. Put some eggs, lean meats and veggies and keep the carbs to a minimum. Make it as any other meal and by having more protein and less carbs it should keep you satiated until lunch time. Have a lunch based on the best choice available (always try to replace…

Move from 22% to 12% body fat! :)

I believe I lost some weight (not entirely sure, since I've travelled and because of that I'm using a different weighing scale). I only splurged on Christmas night and kept a good tracking of what I ate in the other days. :)

Great job!

They are quite ok, maybe not the best thing for interval-type exercise as you mention however. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Azdak/view/the-real-facts-about-hrms-and-calories-what-you-need-to-know-before-purchasing-an-hrm-or-using-one-21472

The HR monitor is correct.

The HR monitor should be correct.

I recently bought a FT60 which I find great. Compared with the F4 it has some interesting features like own zone metering, calculation of % of fat in total calories spend, training programs based your goals (weight loss, improve fitness, etc.), and capacity to use accessories like a data link (transfer data do computer),…
