Day 14 - Sun Feb 10 - Weight Report

I am glad it is Sunday, the Sabbath Day, a time to rest from weekly work and turn our attention to worship and serving others. I don't plan on working out on Sundays, but do believe it is a good time to reflect on the past week and plan for the following week. And a good time to weigh in.

On Day 3 blog I reported the following starting data from my Omni BodyFat Analyzer

Weight	Fat Percentage	Body Mass Index
180	27.4%	27.8%

 
Now on Day 14 I am reporting the following improvements:

Weight	Fat Percentage	Body Mass Index
173	27.0%	27.7%

I figure that some of the weight gain from the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays has started to recede. The next 15 pounds will be much harder and once we get down past 8 more pounds we will be dipping into uncharted territory. It has been a long time since I was less than 165 pounds and I like to get under 160.

To make sure that I am using somewhat accurate measurements I looked into the scale that I've had for 10 years. Lo and behold it does more than just measure weight. It is a Conair Model WW87 Scale that has something to do with Weight Watchers although I didn't buy it from them.  I set it up for user 1 at 5 foot 7 inches and age 62 as I didn't want to see any undeserved improvement at the end of next month when I change from age 61 to 62.

Here are the first time measurements that it reported.

Weight	Body Fat Weight	Body Fat Percentage	Body Water	Bone Mass
173	43.5	25.3%	54.5	6.5

Can anyone comment on these numbers and tell me what it all means for someone 61 and 11/12ths? What is low, normal, and high numbers for someone my age?  Thank you.

I will report the measurements again next Sunday.
