shmiller's Notizen, 07 Dez 11

I have an app that measures body fat. Should everyone be at 25% or is everyone different? How do you know what % you should be at? Good luck, that's less than 10 pounds. You accomplished your first BIG goal, this will be nothing :) 

This is interesting--I've never really thought about worrying about the different measurements besides just overall weight. I went ahead and googled it. http://www.healthchecksystems.com/bodyfat.htm I'm sure that shmiller know's about it, but as for me and friendly, I think it's good info to know. As for changing your goal weight...look what you've accomplished thus far. Girl, you've got this! It's "just" 8 pounds, you'd be there in NO time.

I feel the same shmiller. I only weighed myself when I got started. I didn't even consider taking my measurements or checking what my body fat was. I wish I would have known to do that but at least you can say you have made it to your goal. That is awesome! Enjoy the moment. You have done a phenominal job! 

Great BF reading and you're not far off your new goal! Did you measure your BF when you started? 

Thanks, everyone. LaraStar, I didn't, but wish I had. :( I used an online calculator to determine how my body fat percentage translates into a goal weight. I used Fat2Fit Ratio. It's the same mathmatics as other sites, but it does the math for you, and since I'm an English teacher who hates math, this is good.
