I Love My Body Fat %

Hi Everyone: I know it's not Friday but I just wanted to share something with you. As you may remember from my post on Friday I wanted to find out my Body Fat %. Today I bought a Body Fat scale and just used it for the first time. I actually used it twice just to make sure I programmed it correctly. According to Body Fat Ranges established by the NIH/WHO guidelines, a man my age (that would be 47) should have a body fat % between 12-22% to be considered in the healthy range. Well after weighing myself using my Body Fat Scale my body fat percentage is 16%. I guess that makes me healthy (LOL). My BMI may say that I'm still overweight at 26.9 but my body fat reading says I'm healthy. I'm not going to create a debate over which indicator is better but for the benefit of my phyche, I will go with the body fat percentage. Now I have another goal to go for. Getting my body fat percentage as close to 12% as possible. Till next time, Jesse 373/190/-183

Hey Jesse Great job. 16% body fat, AMAZING. Keep up the good work. With this sagging Panni, my body fat goal will be far from reach. Will try for my goal weight first. Luis

jesse as usual you are a true inspiration Diana

Congrats Jesse! I would LOVE to be in that healthy category! Where do you find the data for the NIH/WHO guidelines? I would like to read it. Mary Beth 283/175/150
