DojangManChris Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 So my w00t! moment this week came when I got my body fat tested. Background: I have been at 25% or higher body fat most of my life. This week I hit 19.7%, which is the lowest I've been since I was about 7 years old. About 1% of that loss is since going Paleo two weeks ago, which is much quicker than I lost the last 6% or so. It took me years, literally, to shave off that other 6% or so, with my old crappy diet and the same (or more!) exercise.Seriously, good diet, just get used to it!~Chris Link to comment

Ocelot Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Brilliant, well done. I'm at 25ish now, and sub 20 seems a million miles away. It's definitely an achievement to be proud of. | STR 15 | DEX 14 | STA 14 | CON 10.5 | WIS 11 | CHA 7 | Level 5 Ocelot's Dossier - Battle Log | Springing into my Sixth Challenge! Link to comment

DojangManChris Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 First off, Woot woot!!!Second, how do you measure body fat? You have the calipers or is it at the Dr.'s?Hey Jaswandi! My gym has a body composition testing machine that gets as good of results as the Dr.'s office. They don't know it yet, but they've been helping me Nerd-track my results for weeks! I've also learned how to use their machine, so I don't even really ask them anymore. :-PThanks everyone for the support! Link to comment
