I have already had good results in losing weight, I went down from 180 to 170 which I am now at. This is just an extra push to help keep me going to where I am headed.

I use the Tanita scale, same as ravenwolf that measures weight and BF%.

Weight = 170.lbs Body fat = 36.4%

Biceps: Flexed: Right = 13” Left = 13”
Relaxed: Right = 12 1/2” Left = 12 1/2”

Chest: 40 1/2”

Hips: 41 1/2”

Waist: 39 1/2”

Shoulder: 40”

Thighs: Right = 22 1/2” Left = 22"

Calves: Right = 16” Left = 16”

Neck: 14 1/2”

I want to take a moment and wish everyone the best of luck!!

OK - I will defniitely join in RW - I'm no chicken - although by the amount of poultry I eat, I may turn into one! LOL

I will take my measurements tonight - although I have no measurement in which to take body fat % I will measure everything else....perhaps I can ask at the gym for an impromptu check....? ...stats to follow

I imagine that as long as you are able to measure the same way each time, and the results don't waver all over the place, it would probably be a pretty good indication of improvement (Or not, Ghod forbid) Is it able to do this?

yes it is able to do that at least amazon, just make sure you measure yourself around the same time such as every monday morning or such and you will see results. I am so glad to know you are on board. you know us women are going to kick some royal A$$!!!

Well Guys we are considered Royalty now.
As in Royal A$$ hehehe.

BTW ravebbeauty and wolf, try using your tanita at night, with an empty bladder. Do it for 7 consecutive days, and take the average. Also,Raven wolf, if you take the reading with a metal-banded watch, take it off, it makes a difference.
