23yr old male here…..
I baught a new scale with a body fat analyizer in it 2 months ago when I started to work out. My first reading said that I weighed 236lbs and 30% body fat (so I was very overweight) Since then I have hit the gym 4-5x a week for 30-40 minutes of cardio and a good weight lifting workout. My strength gains have been significant and my body is looking better and am down 2 inches in my pants waist( i still have a bit to go) Last ngiht I did my bi-weekly weigh in and my weight was 213lbs, but my body fat registered at 31.7%!! I am totally confused, is my scale wrong or did I really incread e my body fat, i dont see how that is possible… My diet is improved as well… 23yr old male here
Hi,
There are many factors which can affect the readings on the scale. I have found that if I am dehydrated then the body fat percentage goes up. You should be real encouraged about losing the inches off of the waist! It definately sounds like you are making good progress. Here is a link that can help explain things:
