You cannot rely on that number - especially when you're lifting heavily and adding muscle. Now when I'm dieting...I'll allow myself to look at the scale at least once a week to ensure that I'm dropping enough weight...but if you're fairly new to this (not sure, haven't checked your profile yet!) you could be losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time and thus staying the same weight. Try not to worry too much about the number. :) If I weighed myself everyday I would go crazy - according to the scale I am severely obese.

I'm excited just to use the measurement as a starting point. I'm prepared for the worst %age ever, but if I don't start somewhere I will be miserable forever! Thanks again! Thanks!

The one thing to remember is that even though the BF calculation you get may not be accurate it can still be used to track progress assuming you are able to hit the same spot each time, it takes a little getting used to. jsut rememebr worry very little about the BF% it tells you you have and only concern yourself with the differences between measurements...

Every thing I have read states that you should make small changes instead of big ones, that way it is easier to keep with it. I am glad to hear everything is going well. Good luck with your goals!
