I started my weight loss journey back at the beginning of January. I ended up getting down to 189 lbs before deciding to lift weights at the direction of my doctor and wife as well. I wanted to know where I was body fat wise before getting too deep into weight lifting so I went to get a DEXA scan to get a baseline. It told me I was at 27%. The scan also told me how my Renpho scale was reading in comparison so I had something to go on going forward. Fast forward 5 months and I had another scan today. I'm down to 23% body fat, which is higher than I originally wanted to be. However, I have gained 10lbs of muscle. I've been hitting the gym 5 days a week so it's definitely paid off. So my plan at recompisition has worked albeit not 1 pound of fat for 1 pound of muscle. I have gained weight and am at 200, but I've not been too worried because I can see the muscle results in the mirror and I didn't want to cut back on calories too much and kill my work in the gym. Now I have a choice, cut to get to 190 and lift weights or continue small cuts with lifting weights. My goal is 18%...Looking forward to seeing what 5 more months brings!
