wish I could measure my BF% ...... not an easy task for accuracy

[Hunters21w]

I don't know how, or see where the weight is, but i've gained 15lbs since I started hitting it hard again a month ago. Muscles feel fuller and harder, but not really bigger, and belly is smaller, but i'm still up 15. Roll with it.

Some fat turning to muscle. Also maybe in your legs where it's not as noticeable?

Arent there body mass index scales that can do that? Or are they inaccurate?

[OrionStang]

BMI scales are off. Example, the Army measures waist, neck, and height. It doesn't account for differences in frame type or muscularity. I mean, a guy can be fat as fuck, but if he has a huge neck, he will pass the test.

There are more medical ways to have it measured, your doctor can probably help you find a place to do it. Or, ask the local gym, some gyms offer testing with 'The Egg' (Google it) from time to time.

one day....

[David]

I am trying to loose fat in a specific area, my legs and arms have virtually zero fat. I walk ALOT! I do a 35 minute 2.60 Mile power walk every morning to work. then walk and lift light freight all day at work. using my phone I have figured I am walking about 8 miles a day.

i have lost a good deal of weight. but the fat is clinging to my torso, I have lost some there but not nearly what I thought I would.

I don't think I have hit a wall yet. I have hit some of my best times in the last few days.

my fastest mile, "walking" is 13.43 which I did this morning in a downpour... yeah fucken crazy.

soo how do i kill the belly fat, I have been doing some sit ups but I wont lie I havent pushed myself to do alot of them or hit the gym... none are open here early enough for me...

this might be my fav area on the forum! didnt know it existed!

[Hunters21w]

David I know this might sound bad but you cannot spot pick where to lose fat. Doing sit ups work your abs underneath your belly but won't make you lose the fat on top. Best bet is your diet, you have to be in a caloric deficit meaning eat less calories than your maintenance amount.

Keep at it, cardio will help and no it won't just target your legs.

Lots of core stuff, and not just sit ups and crunches and crap, I mean the stuff that works your internal obliques and your transverse abdominus.

That and along with what hunter said, a diet
