    Hi all,

    Quick question re weight - alot of people are telling me I look a lot slimmer lately but I am not seeing it on the scales.

    I also found out how to use the % fat monitor on the scales and its showing 26% - a lot down on what I was previously told some time ago.

    Is there any good reason for this ? Part of the reason I ask is I want to do a bit more running and find my weight seems to cause my knees issues - so I thought loosing weight would be good for me ?

    Thanks
    Rob

    Muscle weights for than fat, you may have lost fat but gained some muscle, therefore you look trimmer but stay the same weight.

    Cant say but guess.

    A couple of things.
    The electronic scales fat measurement method is usually not that reliable - generally speaking.
    - re this method - readings are effected by food in your stomach at the time of the reading(s) - st that can vary.
    The first place people notice weight loss is on the face so it could be there that people are commenting on.


    Only you can tell - are you trousers any looser.
