Anyone out there use fat calipers and would be able to tell us if that has helped you in your fitness goals? I know a person - in real life that is trying to lose weight (doing wonderfully I might…

Some background: Im 40- trying to lose about 15# or so (that number probably changes every time I post..lol) I have been working out hard before 30DS so its not…
