Losing Weight and Losing Fat

Lose weight, lose fat........................
Do you know its possible for two people of the same weight and height to have different body fat?
Do you know that you might be losing muscle as well as fat?

Most people think about weight management always, morning, evening, all day....you name it. Each morning you get on the scale, the number on the scale may as well determine your mood for the rest of the day....True or False? Its possible you are on the big size and might think you are overweight
when in reality your body fat is okay while some are moving around with hidden fat that the scale will not show.


So what is your body fat percentage?
At 308 lbs /140 kg my body fat percentage was approximately 55% when it should be between 21% to 33% for someone my age.
The body is made up of various issues including lots of water. Talk about fat, bone, muscle and other issues in the body. Body fat percentage is the percentage of your weight which is made up of fat. So what is the other part called? it is called "lean body mass".

The question now is what is the ideal body fat?
Well this varies in men and women, naturally women need more body fat compared men. like I said naturally but some women have conquered this.....and the consequences of a woman having very low body fat is lack of menstruation....am not going into details, am not expert. We tend to have more body fat due to out breast and the fat around our hips.
BMI (body mass index) is not body fat percentage....

I popped into a health center the other day to check my body fat percentage, the first place calculated 33% and the second center showed approximately 28%. Well am going with the 33% because I believe I have more fat to lose. The ideal range for someone my age, weight and height should be between 21% to 33%. Now my goal is to reduce my body fat to 25%. Some body scale can measure body fat percentage but if yours doesn't just click on the link BODY FAT CALCULATOR to check yours.
