The accuracy is all over with body scans

Well that isn't totally accurate. If your first scan tells you that you are 20% BF, then you go back in a month and it tells you that you are at 18% BF, its safe to assume you lost body fat. Same goes for SMM, water weight, etc. So if you are using the scans as progress reports, then they are a very helpful tool. Whether the first one gave you numbers that are slightly off one way or another, its still a great way to track your progress.

I don't go first thing in the morning while fasted, but I go at the same time, on a Saturday, right after my morning workout (because the place doesn't open until 10am), and I eat the same exact thing for breakfast. I do it for consistency, because I agree, if you go one morning before breakfast or rehydrating after sleeping all night, then the next time you go in the evening, after having eaten all day, drank X amount of water, etc. the readings will not be consistent for obvious reasons.

I've been 4 times in the last two months, and after my first one, I had a pretty good idea what my readings were going to be based on my diet and lifting schedule since the previous one. And I was correct each time. Not spot on, but whether my number were going to improve or get worse.

Update:


BF went down again. Barely, but still down. Only lost 1.1lb of SMM. Down to 182lbs and some change. I have not been coming even close to my target for my daily macros or total calories. Its about time to get my diet really zeroed in so i can stop losing weight and try to build back up some of that SMM. Overall, for four weeks of not eating how i should, not terrible results. Ive maintained all of my strength throughout, so thats a plus.

I’m going hit our new 3D body scan next Monday.

I've been eating everything in sight, and drinking a buncha beer/whisky as a coonass tends to do during hunting/holiday season.

I've been very consistent with my training (that one is for you, 777) between 5-6 days a week, every week.

Looking forward to shedding about 10lbs starting after the new year, mainly by just adjusting my daily caloric intake, and cooking more.

My goal is to be 180+ lbs and around 12.5-13% BF. I was very comfortable at that size (i was down to 182lbs) but would like to stay around 187lbs at 12.5-13% BF, if not less, obviously.

planning to cut my alcohol and food intake by a good bit

This is my main plan to get back to 13% or less BF.

I'll post it tomorrow, already laying in bed lol. Was 205 @ 25% body fat just like I thought. Good thing is, I did gain 2 kind smm during the 20 months but still easy down from my peak.

Time to get to work!

I'm going to do my best to cook everything I eat, and no drinking during the week and very moderately on the weekends.

I was at 198.5lbs this morning, that means I have about 11lbs to lose to get to my ideal weight. Hopefully I make most of that weight loss just fat.
