Today was the first weigh-in of the new year and produced mixed results! I lost 0.8 pounds, but gained 3.3% body fat. I pretty much understand the weight gain or loss, but the body fat measurement is a bit less reliable in my opinion. The scale measures body fat by putting an electrical current through from one leg to the other. It seems that there are too many variables in this process for it to be a consistently reliable measurement. So, the year-to-date results are weight down 0.8 pounds, body fat up a total of 3.3%.

Because of travel schedules, I won’t be able to do another weigh-in for three weeks. Let’s see if we can get two weigh-ins in a row recording a weight loss!
