Doug, the 23% makes sense to me. You measurements in the beginning of your log had you at a 41" waist and almost 45" chest. That plays out to be about 23%. Did you have measurements for you current weight? I just don't think you lost 19 lbs and only 7 lbs of fat.

I'm pretty sure you said you'd gotten below 20% somewhere else.

The reason I ask about your measurements is that if your waist is down to 37", for example, that puts you at about 18% BF. That would leave you at 173 lbs LBM which I would consider a very successful fat loss (75/25 fat to LBM loss). I just wanted to make sure that everyone gets a true picture of where you're at. I think you've been more successful that you're giving yourself credit for.
