Captainredbeard Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'll give this a shot. I'm really hoping those numbers are inaccurate because they are saying I'm up to 22% again Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment
Jord Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 I'm so damn in for this! I love a good challenge. I'll get my measurements tomorrow morning. Sorry I don't keep a tape measure in my desk at work. 1 Quote Jǫrð, Delvian Nomad - Level 12 { Battle Log } Link to comment

So start getting those gains in your neck muscles. It should be consistently inaccurate anyway, allowing for linear progress reports. My number came in at 46ish% and then I realized there was a gender selector, dropping it down to 25% with the same metrics for a man. 2 Quote Level 38 [Raveling Bard] Link to comment

jmk Posted January 7, 2017 Report Share Posted January 7, 2017 I put in the same measurements I did the other day with a lower weight (I've lost a couple lbs and wanted to see if it made a difference)and the percent is higher. Then I put in my original weight and it's higher than what my total I entered on the spreadsheet by 4%. I can't figure out what is different and why I'm getting a higher number now.

Infinity.Creates Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 I think that the waist hip ratio is quite important for this system, especially due to the large difference between men and women. So if you weigh less but have the same waist hip ratio and size, then it will presume you have lost muscle and kept the fat, because fat weighs less.

Inazea Posted January 9, 2017 Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 So apparently I lost 2% bodyfat. Is that even possible in a week?

Make sure you are taking the exact same neck measurements each time. .5 inch difference can make a big difference in the ratio. Another indicator is if your LBM jumps a couple lbs when you lost a couple of lbs. Quote May Br0din bless you with mighty gains, and may your shaker bottle always be full.

Jord Posted January 10, 2017 Report Share Posted January 10, 2017 I finally did my measurements and apparently I gain all my weight in my stomach? Despite being 10# heavier than in August, most measurements were within 0.5" except my waist is 3" bigger.

That's actually not uncommon. I've lost 5lbs and .5 in off the waist bringing my grand total down to 19%. I'm probably going to stall out here for a while until I lose another inch off the waist and can finally round down to 37.

Tash Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 So a few days after I did the measurement I found out I weighted 244lbs instead of 231 (weight I took for the measurement. Anyhow, with the weight today I got to 36% bodyfat. Which is 1% more than previous week. Weird thing is I wanted to check if I lost any bodyfat compared to the 244 lbs and it changes nothing except from my lean mass? Ok never mind, I didn't do much of a workout this week so that probably explains enough. 1 Quote Current Challenge Previous challenge: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 Facebook Instagram Link to comment
Jord Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 It's too bad I'm not a man, I'd only have 31% body fat. That website is weird. 1 Quote Jǫrð, Delvian Nomad - Level 12 { Battle Log } Link to comment
