IMKY Weightloss challange (Page 7)

Updates

I think Monday.

yea... i'm dreading it,,, I"ve eaten lots of carrot cake this week,,,  I think I've gained 5 pounds just in cake

Yep, check-in is on Monday 3-2-09.  I can't believe its already been two weeks.

263 lbs

I've been on the 'injurred reserve' list so have had to rely on reduced calories in instead of increased calories out via training.

I think it's great that we are staying focused on this challange.  We're 6 months out now and we all have time to reach our goals.

Race day +1 and beers (and carbs) are on me for everyone in this challange!!

I thought today was going to be a bad number, since I missed lots of workouts, and ate a lot of cake last week (along with other junk)  but todays number is ..........

215..   I'll take a small weight loss anyday

Have you noticed our #2 thread has more post than most of those "Offical Threads"

My nutrition over the past few days has been bad.  I'm exercising my right to claim my "I'm feeling like a bloated, fat-a$$"  day and not weighing myself.  I'm re-focusing on nutrition and water today.  Hopefully the next weigh-in will be ok.

How are you guys getting your %BF measurements? I've seen some "home" scales that provide this and been curious about them, but have never used one. I was looking at one the other day at Costco that gave readings for %BF and water. Are they accurate/worthwhile?

I bought one of those scales (Tanita) a few years ago and it's a giant piece of crap.  I can literally get on the scale, get a bodyfat % reading, get off the scale, immediately get back on the scale, and get an entirely different reading.  So, unless my body gains/loses bodyfat within seconds, it's the most inaccurate thing I've ever bought.

These days I use bodyfat calipers to check my percentage.  I "pinch" the skin in three locations, and it gives me a digital bodyfat % reading.  I do it three times and average the readings if there is any discrepancy.
