So it turns out my scale was wrong, but not entirely for fault of it's own. So when I went to the gym last week I found out that my body fat was 23.3 percent. So was my scale off by 17 percent? Actually, the problem was that my wife switched the scale over to woman settings and I'd been weighing in my body fat percentage as "a woman."
After catching my mistake, the scale read 28 percent. Ok, so that means that I'm actually somewhere between 23 and 28 percent body fat. Now we're on to something.
This week I gained back a little weight at just over 192, but at least I have a better idea of how my scale is working.
Nevertheless, I am certain that I had it set up right on my very first weigh in, now I just have to keep checking the scale in the morning.
1o percent is still my goal and the gym trainer told me to up my cardio. So I've changed our work outs to be half cardio/half weights. Last week is a little early to tell, but all I can do is keep working toward my goal.
Have a great week.
Dr. Chris
