I was wondering how you got so many carbs yesterday as your dinner was definitely clean! the cookie monster got you! LOL. I totally agree with you that your goals are to not get fat and to get the muscular body of your dreams. but just remember as you seem so focused on that scale, your new muscles will add weight. when you get to your ideal body size in muscles you may find you are actually in the 180 range. if you confine your calories too much when you need energy to lift you will slow your muscle development. just food for thought! Enjoy your omad today!

@Sweetlysad - I can only do OMAD if I am REALLY busy :) Also, I will still have a protein shake during the day and technically that does not count as OMAD (you are suppose to only have water). So, yeah it is only a 'goal' :) You however, are doing really well :) At your weight level, to lose weight as fast as you are, is considered blazing fast :)

@Baskington - Thanks! As I 'scarfed' down the cookies I was thinking "Yeah sometimes you gotta eat" Haha "Mentally" I just can't handle seeing the scale hit 180lbs :( I know from the past I can go from my current 170lbs to 178lbs in only 3 days! This is why mentally I want to be in the 160s. However, my brain and my body just-wants-to-do-what-it-wants Haha - - That's why I decided to post my Body Fat (according to my scale). I think that while I can build up muscle to give me a low body fat percentage, my body wont allow me to lose weight to get a lower body fat percentage... nor do I really want to...

@jengetfit123 - Haha thanks! My Mother 'tricked me' She said we were 'moving furniture'. How cleaning out 30 years of stuff in a garage is 'moving furniture' escapes me... :)

and that is a good thing you really do have to focus on the mirror and less on the scale at least in the weight department. the other numbers may help you offset the weight part of your concern. heck I have been debating raising my goal weight as I don't know if my body will go that low since I working out to develop muscles. It doesn't bother me not to get down there at all. I just hate the partial line. LOL!

Well i am guessing you must have moved some furniture while you were cleaning out the garage, no?

Oh I see ! Still your very impressive with what you have accomplished ....Thanks but I have been down and up in weight quite a few times in the past which the yo-yo ing isn't very good for you! It's best to be a stable healthy weight .... which that is my goal ! :+)

@jengetfit123 - The garage was moving shelving and throwing things away like boxes of books and tiles. 'After' we finished with the garage she had me actually move the 'furniture' in the house :)

If you ever want to get a good number, I think dexa is the gold standard. I did the bod pod too and they were very close.

@Draglist, @Cb1006 - I considered getting the 'actual number' (by having a Dexa scan), but realized that it would not change my 'plan' anyway :)

change your plan no it wouldn't but you might relax a bit about the numbers if you saw that you indeed had good fat to muscle numbers and it would be good base to plot your progress. If I was as close to my fat goal as you I would be considering it.

Yeah, I just did it so I knew my lean body mass for protein intake.. And was curious..

Nice work. I get my caliper bodyfat done with the same trainer using the same instrument every time so I gt some sort of consistency. Like you, I just want to be the best "me" I can be
|
@baskington - Me? 'relax' Ha! Never! :) But, seriously, when I get my weightlifting up to 250lbs I will allow myself to stay in the 170s. Today I got back up to 200lbs :) - - Having Ribeye AGIAN tonight :)

@Draglist, @Cb1006. @HCB - I just went for a 5 mile run, got back, jumped on the scale. I lost 3lbs and my bodyfat dropped to 7% - - Yeah it's 'unreliable' at best... :)
