M’s Body Key Indicators #16

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 sig_logo
