Don't let the scales be the only form of measurement you use, it can be very counterproductive. 

Agreed.  Take measurements for your waist, chest, thighs, neck, arms, etc.
We did this and also used a hand held device to measure body fat. I also have a Tanita scale that measures body fat and it was within a few decimal points between the two devices.

If you want to know exactly what your composition is check out a bod pod. Used to use it in the pros back when I was <10% body fat.
I’m sure there is somewhere in ATL that has one.



Great option to hydrostatic BF measurement.  I think the tanita and handheld units are very inaccurate.  Years ago I had the hydrostatic.eas measurement and the next day used a handheld at the gym. Off by 5%.

I have no need for that kind of detail right now lol. Plus, I can't fit in that thing yet.

Mike - That could have been from timing between the two. I compare my scale to a machine that Lifetime Fitness was using and it was within a percent. On the handheld and scale it needs to be done first thing in the morning and without anything to drink since its basically measuring water. Fat holds more water than muscle.

I think the last time I threw up from working out was during 2 a days in the Texas heat. That's been over 30 years ago.

Last night I was verping water! If I would have had food in my stomach there definitely would have been a mess on that gym floor.

Also, did I mention, I HATE CARDIO!

Well I failed miserably in 2017 but am determined to do better this year.  I'm using myfitnesspal to track my calories and watching the content of what I eat.  Since moving into our new office building my daily step count is up from averaging 6,000 to 9,000 a day, with some stairs.  I'm on the 7th floor so I always take the stairs when going down instead of the elevator.  Going up I am doing 2 to 3 flights then switching to the elevator.  We have a pretty nice gym in the building which just opened this week so I plan to phase in some light work outs.

When I hit my peak weight in 2016 I decided to do something about it.  I initially lost 20 pounds then went back to old habits and put it back on over time.  I'm currently 10 pounds below peak and have at least 50 pounds to lose, more would be better.

I'm currently targeting 1,800 Calories - 35% Carbs, 35% Protein and 30% Fat.  I'm drinking 60+ ounces of water a day and cutting back the alcohol.

It's hard to think back that I used to be embarrassed of my weight .... because I was too thin.

Too thin. Yeap, I hear you. When I graduated hs I was 90 lbs. & ate like a horse. My biggest was 240 right before Christmas. I'm at 230 now.

In high school and into my mid 20's I was 6'2" 160 lbs.  I could eat like crazy, work out or not, didn't matter.  Could not put on weight.

My how times have changed.

Good deal. I imagine your chomping at the bit to get back in to it?
