Same as Monday, but I have been lifting a lot of weight and working out so it is expected.

This morning (1/14) I was at 175.5. That's about 5 pounds down this week.

Started at 212.5. I've lost 37 pounds so far, and have 12.5 to go.

Does anyone know about the settings on the Tanita scale? Mine has a "adult/athlete" setting. On "adult" it says I have 21% body fat. On "athlete" it says 12%. According to the manual, if you do more than 60 minutes of aerobic exercise daily you ought to use "athlete" (I do about 90 minutes of swimming each day), but I don't really buy it. Anyone know how the settings effect the calculation?

Things that are working for me:

1) Weighing myself every morning and every night. Quick feedback on what I've done each day can be a good check-in.

2) Exercise. I've been swimming 90 minutes or so a day. Wednesday of this week I hit the pool twice, and totalled 9100 yards. I'm also stretching out a lot (about 45 minutes a day, in two sessions), which helps me survive the exercise (until Thanksgiving, I hadn't worked out in almost a decade).

3) Eating alone. When I eat with my wife, I find that I'm eating more, since I give us both "normal" sized portions. If I eat alone, it's easier to scale back my serving sizes (although, I bet it works in the reverse way for many people).

Anyone have any feedback on a good body fat goal? I've never known what "good" is, and I'm wondering if I need to set a goal in that way, too. I think I'll get some other check to backup the Tanita, though, as I'm not sure I like it with that discrepancy.

Happy weight loss!

I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama

Hey Tom,
6 lbs this week - that's great!

I've bought the same scale, I think - waiting on delivery. I remember seeing the adult/athlete setting, I believe the athlete maxes at 12% but I'm not positive.

I have the same issue with my Tanita scale. I don't put value in the actual body fat % number anymore but the change in that number overtime (as long as I'm weighing myself at a consistent time everyday).

I'm up from last week, to 141 again, but also have been doing more weights for the last couple weeks. *sigh*

Hey, muscle weighs more than fat... and it burns calories, which fat doesn't. It'll balance back out.

Down 1.5lbs.
Yeah it sucks, but at least it's better than going up...

It's definitely better than what I did, which was just barely hold my own. No loss or gain to report this week.
