I started my weight loss journey 3 months ago and am having great results I am already down 35 lbs. But here is the issue, a few weeks ago I started to also focus on other non-weight goals like measurements and cloths also doing great in those. but today I bought body fat calipers. I studied fine art in college and that required a ton of biology courses so identifying, where to use them is easy enough. I defiantly have very strategic areas that need to go but I have always noticed that I'm pretty solid in areas I don't so I figured my body fat around 40% because I am still 220 lbs.
The calipers said between 32-38%. I took a couple reading tried it different ways watched a few videos and I have had it measured before so I understand the basics of how to take the measurement and like I said understand anatomy.
So anyways I did the math. that is less than 20% of my body mass I have to lose to get to a healthy 21-24% body fat. considering I don't work out and have no desire to that seems reasonable for me but that only gets me to 168 lbs when my goal is 150. Even if completely messed up with the calipers and I was still closer to 50% body fat right now getting down to 21% only get me to 157. SO does my math check out? and if so should I be reaching for a more reasonable goal of 170-160?
