Made a discovery this morning on the issue of bf... my scale constantly reads in the 16-17% area for me now and even my doctors scale read 17% 2 weeks ago for me... Also the way I have been reading the pinchers I have put me around 16.5% for the suprailliac....

But...

come to find out I have been reading my pinchers wrong.. I have been reading it where the lower arm crosses the scale... this is wrong as you are suppose to read it at the mark on the slider..which that that puts me at about 10.5% bf...
Good news is I am about 10-11%, not the 16% I though...and looking at my pictures, lines up about right...

Bad news is that bf scale I have been using is crap and doesn't give me a proper reading... the weight has been correct... but the bf has been skewed.. which really ticks me off due to all of my bf entries in the bodyspace log are wrong and must be deleted and I can't get a proper lbm/bf change since I started in the gym.

For the sake of completing this log, I will still use the scale. However for any more logs with different products, I will only use the calipers
