Posted in: Exercise, Shop / Product Reviews, Weight Loss | Comments Off
Want to hear something interesting? From February 12th to May 5th (12 weeks), my scale told me I lost 4.2lbs — and I was THRILLED. Yes, you heard right, I was thrilled. Why would anybody be that happy about 12 weeks of hard work and only seeing a small drop in weight? That’s because the scale doesn’t tell the whole story!
You see, all that time I was measuring my body fat percentage with the Accu-Measure body fat caliper. So, although the scale said 4.2lbs, Accu-Measure was telling me that I went from 30.8% body fat to 24.6%. In those 12 weeks, I lost 10lbs of fat and gained 5.8lbs of muscle, according to the Accu-Measure chart. So, believe me, I was thrilled. Can you imagine how I would have felt if I had only gone by the numbers on the scale?
