Day 17.....Tale of the tape..

31 Jan 07: Day 17
Today I got my body fat measured and it was down a little over a percent! It said I lost 2.2 pounds (1kg) and gained 2.6 pounds of muscle! That is fantastic compared to my progress thus far; since Sept I have only lost about a percentage, now in about 2.5 weeks I lost over a percentage.

Here is my Tale of the Tape:
Body Type: Standard (I believe I should be athletic, but everyone is using the same setting)
Age: ??
Ht:5ft 9in
Wt:191.4 lb
BMI: 28.3
Fat % 22.1%
BMR 7968 kJ
impedance 428 (ohms)
Fat Mass 42.4 lb
FFM 149. lb

I think it was partly due to my Dr. doubling my thyroid medicine. I believe this because I have been eating fairly strict (no junk, home cooked, yes I can cook, made from scratch wholesome foods), and only drinking water with an occasional glass of red wine (no more than 1 every 3 weeks or so) and weight training and doing cardio since Sept. I also started taking my omega 3 tablets, but doubt they would have had an effected on my body fat so soon.

We'll just have to wait until the next tale of the tape. I don't plan on posting my pics again until the end of February, when I believe a difference, will be much more noticeable. Until then or until my next post...keep on.....Getting it done!!
