With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

I went to body fat monitor and it said that I am 49lbs fat -I am sure that is way off, but if I lose 49lbs, I will be supermodel thin (and thats just gross). How accurate is body monitor?

They weigh a good bit more, and I feel are a more realistic idea of what to shoot for when trying to get a mental image of what you want to look like.

	2004/12/20, 07:46 AM 49lb of fat doesn't say much...it's the body fat % that's usually representative...a good % is around 22-25% for women...so at 5'11 150-160 is probably a good weight with vf of 22-25%
