Baron's Journey to Single-Digit Bodyfat

Baron, I was referring to those bioimpedence "bodyfat" scales, they are very inaccurate to the point of being useless I believe.

Take a few before and afters for us in your quest.

Maybe that was the case in the past but things seemed to have improved quite a bit with the technology and calculations. There have been numerous people that have compared this scale to the results they got in a professional clinic and the difference has been very, very little. Here's one from a woman who did it back in August so you can see how the readings she got from her doctor's office compare to the readings from the scale:

Did the woman mention what kind of machine they used in her doctor's office?

weight 64.3 kg, height 1.65 m. So her BMI should be 23.6, not 24.5 as displayed? The formula is even printed on the receipt she shows. If the machine cannot even calculate that correctly, then how am I going to believe the rest of the measurement results? Let alone use it as reference to compare other test results to?

That's the BMI I arrived at too. We don't know what standard she is comparing her home scale too :)
 
If you do manage to cut your bodyfat by almost 50%, you will drop under 170lbs. You'll lose muscle mass as well as fat mass. Probably somewhere around 165?

Maybe there's an adjustment applied based upon gender. No clue.
