Slight disappointment

Well, this morning I had a slight disappointment....I was back up to 197.8.  Not a super big deal, but it was nice having monotonically decreasing numbers for the last several days.  The upside was that my body fat level was down to 32.8%, the first it's been below 33% in a long time.  Still, there's a long way to go as I have to get to 24% just to be "obese."  And down to 20% to be normal.  13% of roughly 200 lbs is 26 lbs, so that's still a ways out there, as I doubt I'll be able to lose 3 lbs a week consistently for 9 weeks.  If I could do two lbs/week for 13 weeks that would do it, but again my experience with diet alone is about 1 lb per week after the first few weeks is all we can expect.  If I add in exercise, I could possibly get 2 lbs/week. 

Btw, I use a Tanita scale from Amazon.  It looks like Amazon doesn't sell them, but merchants at Amazon do.  The scale tells you body weight and fat %.  You can also find out fat lbs, % water, bone mass and some other data.  You can configure it for up to five people in your house so that everyone can track together.  I can't imagine more than two people sharing it, but to each their own.
