I've got body fat!

Ok... so not necessarily something to shout about. EVERYONE has body fat - duh!

But, I bought some new scales when I moved to Australia in October, and I was really excited about them because they measured body fat percentage. I took them out of their shiny box, put them on my shiny bathroom floor, stood on them, and they said 'TOO HIGH'. Yep. That's right. I had such a high percentage of body fat that my shiny new scales couldn't even read it.

I've been using the quick scale mode ever since. You just stand on the scales and see your weight. And thanks to the 12WBT program my weight has been dropping and dropping. Yesterday was week 8 weigh in day and I was down to 92.2 - a loss of 11.3kg. Awesome.

But today I decided to just try the body fat mode again. I stood on the scales with bated breath. And not only did they say my weight was 91.5 (a loss of 700g since yesterday and a total loss of 12kg) but they also, for the first time, recorded my body fat percentage!

Now, I'm new to this world and so I have no idea whether my body fat percentage is good, bad, ugly or indifferent. It read as 27.5%. According to wikipedia (which is OBVIOUSLY the authority in this matter) that puts me slap bang in the 'average' range for women. Not only do I have body fat but I'm average! I have never been average in anything weight related in my life.

I'm feeling pretty awesome right now!
