I Dropped 8% Bodyfat Overnight!!!!!!!!!

THEORETICLY THOUGH..i went on one of them weighing machines at the gym,you know,the ones that do body fat,water..etc.i got an instructor(bareley out of school.kid really)to work the machine.I nearly died when it read 24..YES 24!
anyway it was my physio app tonight for my torn muscle(ouch)just above my knee....cut the story,i got the calliper measured version on my body fat.16%..
she did bi,tri,waist and back,said its mostly on my back.
i know 16 to most of you guys would be devasting im sure,but i am 2 wks into my drol,test an eq an 9lbs up.and very happy as im a hard gainer

Some machines are bull shit. Because of my weight alone they were calling me 25%. Calipers done about one week after 17%.

Hydrostatic is the only way to go.

funny thing is..i used the machine on sunday,now on tue i asked one of the big guys how his diet etc was going ( knowing he used the machine regularly) now he said he was 10%...so if it was 8% out on my reading what it make him 2%?..i dont think so

Use the mirror. Who cares about the number?

Its kinda like when I ask a fat chick how much she weighs... and she gets offended. I'm thinking, "do you think I'm blind?" I'm only wondering what number CORRESPONDS to your girthiness - I'm not confused by your obesity.

Anyway, that said, you know what you want your body to look like, look in the mirror... is your body the image of your minds goal? No? Well, keep shredding the fat.

Misreadings bro, nobody losses 8% in a day. 16% might not be bad for your age. I got a neat little chart showing ideal bodyfats divided by age and sex. How old are you? I have always stayed between 5-12%, but I have genetics that favor not carring around much fat too.
