Fat Loss Challenge: Day 39 - Still Going Strong

The updates aren't as frequent, but progress is inevitable!  Last night, the scale weight was 223, but the body fat percentage was down to 14.1%, a drop of 2.3% from two weeks ago!  For the mathematically challenged, that breaks down to 191.56 pounds of lean body mass (a gain of 5.13 pounds) and 31.44 pounds of fat (a loss of 5.13).  So, without changing the scale a single bit, I dramatically changed my body composition - the most convincing reason yet to throw away your scale!  Even if you aren't measuring your body fat as frequently as I am, using your clothing or measuring tape provides enough evidence of your progress.  Even the visual evidence like seeing muscles you couldn't previously see, or vascularity (ability to see veins in your arms, for instance) is better than using your scale.  As you can see, I've never really broken below the 220 pound mark for an extended period of time since I started this, but my body composition has changed drastically.  I promise I will post pictures soon - side-by-side with the starting photos so you can see the difference.
