Here’s my 18th post of a series about my Body Key Indicators or BKI.

My BKI for Thursday May 20, 2010 are…

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.

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.

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.

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.
