Here’s my 18th post of a series about my Body Key Indicators or BKI.
My BKI for Thursday May 20, 2010 are…
| Method |
Body Weight |
Fat % |
Fat Mass |
Lean Mass |
| BIA-T |
144.6 (-1.6) lbs |
16.9 (-0.8) |
24.44 (-1.44) |
120.16 (-0.16) |
| BIA-W |
144.7 (-1.7) lbs |
14.1 (-0.6) |
20.4 (-1.2) |
124.3 (-0.5) |
| J/P3 |
Using BIA-T |
14.85 (-0.6) |
21.47 (-1.11) |
123.13 (+0.51) |
Legend:
- BIA-T = Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis with a body scale from Taylor brand.
- BIA-W = BIA using a body scale from Withings brand.
- J/P3 = Jackson/Pollock 3 sites caliper method.

These results are interesting. According to the BIA-T method, I managed to lose almost 1.5 lbs of fat (1.44). Even more interesting is that I almost preserved my lean mass in the process (a loss of 0.16 lb).

Here’s my 17th post of a series about my Body Key Indicators or BKI.
My BKI for Tuesday May 4, 2010 are…
All weights (mass) are in lbs.
| Method |
Body Weight |
Fat % |
Fat Mass |
Lean Mass |
| BIA-T |
146.2 (-2) |
17.7 (-0.6) |
25.88 (-1.24) |
120.32 (-0.76) |
| BIA-W |
146.4 (-2.1) |
14.7 (-1.2) |
21.6 (-2) |
124.8 (-0.1) |
| J/P3 |
Using BIA-T |
15.45 (0) |
22.58 (-0.31) |
122.62 (-1.69) |
Legend:
BIA-T = Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis with a body scale from Taylor brand
BIA-W = BIA using a body scale from Withings brand
J/P3 = Jackson/Pollock 3 sites caliper method.
The now quasi-usual week: I lost about a lb of fat (1.24) and let go 3/4 lb of lean mass… And again, this is good and bad news. Like I wrote a couple of posts ago, this is probably the high cost of low body fat! Well, for me at least.
Until next post, Lift Consciously

Here’s my 16th post of a series about my Body Key Indicators or BKI.
My BKI for Tuesday April 27, 2010 are…
All weights (mass) are in lbs.
| Method |
Body Weight |
Fat % |
Fat Mass |
Lean Mass |
| BIA-T |
148.2 (-1.8) |
18.3 (-0.6) |
27.12 (-1.23) |
121.08 (-0.57) |
| BIA-W |
148.5 |
15.9 |
23.6 |
124.9 |
| J/P3 |
Using BIA-T |
15.45 (-0.44) |
22.89 (-0.95) |
125.31 (-0.85) |
In this post, I’m introducing a major change: I now use 2 BIA scales! BIA-T is the body scale I’ve been using for awhile and is the current official scale. It’s a “Body Fat Analyzer And Scale” from Taylor brand. Hence the “-T”. BIA-W is my new “Wifi Body Scale Connected to The Internet” from Withings. Thus the “-W”.
Why 2 scales? Well, this goes with TrainAtHomeGuru.com Mission to experiment. But also, Withings seems to catch more market momentum, so I figured that now was the right time to make the move. I will certainly stop using the Taylor scale at the end of my current Quebec Experiment.
OK, enough said about gadgets. This week is good. I lost a bit more than a lb of fat (1.23). Unfortunately, I let go half a lb of muscle (0.57). This is my Karma…
Finally, the difference between the BIA-T and J/P3 methods is somewhat significant (2.85%), again. But the interesting thing is that BIA-W and J/P3 are almost the same (15.9 vs 15.45). I’m curious to see if I will repeat this similitude next week.
Until then, Lift Consciously
