Notes:  

I don't actually believe that I gained 1.7% body fat in one week (nor would I believe I lost 1.7% body fat in a week, without some extraordinary input our output).  More likely, I believe that it's a measurement difference (slightly different numbers for each body part will provide slightly different numbers, probably like +/- 3% I bet.  I suppose at some point, i should do like 5 of them, record every one, and see how different they are. . . ).  

I also need to get the cart built out for my weight cart!

Obesity is defined as >25% body fat; with 21-25% being borderline.  see, https://www.medscape.com/answers/123702-11456/what-is-the-definition-of-obesity-based-on-body-fat-percentage#:~:text=For%20men%2C%20a%20percentage%20of,31%2D33%25%20being%20borderline.  Healthy body fat is 11-21% with up to 24% being "acceptable".  

So, I'm 11.5% beyond the healthy number.  11.5%  of 309 is roughly 35 pounds or so to the beginning of healthy weight.  If I lost only body fat, that would be around 270-275 or so.  

But, LBM will also decrease--basically there's no other way to do it--so, I probably need to lose something like another 60-70 pounds -- roughly 240-250 pounds or so -- before I get to a "more healthy" weight by percentage.   

This is doable.  Keep moving forward!

NOTES 

10.31.2020 note

the problem this week is my weight rose a few pounds--and my waist measurement went up slightly.  This is consistent with fat gain, rather than fat loss.  I'll need to be extra careful with this.  

11072020 note

Weight plateau stopped and weight has come down to 309 -- lowest weighted average in my recorded history.  I just need to keep going, maintain consistency, and push forward.  I believe the weight training is keeping lean body mass on me -- and I will continue it.  Moreover, the new mountain bike is terrific and I hope to squeeze lots of training out of that new addition to the bike family!
