    My body fat % !!

    I didn't know where to post this exactly, so I just chose here. Meh.

    So my body fat dropped from 20.9% to 19.7% in 3 days.

    I was wondering how quickly bf% normally drops?

    I'm pleased

    How did you measure? There are different standard errors with each technique.

    What kind of test are you going by? Please don't say calipers. Hopefully hydrostatic testing which is very accurate.

    It's safe to assume you dropped water in those 3 days, especially since clen dries you out to some extent, as well as dropping carbs will have you dropping water weight as well.

    BIA. Thats all that is available at my gym sooo I go by that. And that is very true, I should have considered that. I can tell that I have lost some though. I think I was just excited and didn't want to think of any other reasons haha

    In the early stages of a diet, if 1/3 the weight loss is fat, that's good. As you get leaner, you'll hold less water, hence it will be easier to gauge actual fat loss.

    Don't get wrapped up in scale weight either. Live by the scale, die by the scale :-)

    Thank you for the advice. And I don't really care what the scale says, I just want to love what I see in the mirror

    Your not in bad condition at all. You are cursed with holding fat on your hips. Upper torso is lean as well as your legs. Good thing is your body has no real choice but to tap into that excessive fat stores on your hip/waist region.

    Not in bad condition, but there is ALWAYS room for improvement. I want to be in the best shape possible. And I know, I hate that curse But I've been working hard. I'm running clen and var right now, and I've been considering t3...

    You might want to run Nolvadex at 20 mgs every day. 10mg AM/10 mg PM

    During contest prep I have all my female trainee's run Nolvadex.
