Quick Measurement Update.

Before going to the gym this morning for that first Fatloss session I thought I'd quickly jump onto the scales to give a reading to add to the pictures I posted yesterday. The scales that I am using also (apparently) measure body fat though have found this reading to be way off when compared to a caliper reading. The method that it uses is bio-impedence which sends an electrical pulse through the body and then measures the resistance to that current. As I get more organised I'll also measure bf with the calipers so there is a comparison.

So the starting measurements that I have are as follows;

  • Weight - 15stone 9lbs
  • % Body Fat - 29% (bio-impendence)
  • Waist - 37.25 inches (a massive reading from a simple tape)

The waist measurement is the most shocking from my perspective and definately highlights the amount of work that needs to be done. Well I had better get started.

Wish me luck!
