See this is where the bf trends become ultra important. BF% is down much more significantly than scale weight and it translates for my body to 1.3 lbs per % point dropped. The trend is downward and it is trending downward at a decent rate.

This is why I feel so strongly that we all need to find some way to get comfortable with our BF trends. The Ormon may not be 100% accurate but it is consistent in its measurements for me because I stay hydrated and because I measure at the same time of the day every day.

If I did not have this second view into what was going on in my body I would have to rely on my clothing fit, visual, etc. This gives me another data point and furthermore tells me that I can pull back a little bit. Without this number I would be panic about the scale number and would be decreasing my cals.
