Fat test...???

I highly recommend to all bandsters finding a place/person/trainer to do a fat test. The professional I found did the caliper pinch thing and also used a scale hooked to his computer. Between both resutls, it gave me valuable, helpful information to work toward my goal weight. Humiliating, yes...sort of, but I was so curious if my goal weight was realistic. It took me some time to muster the courage to get my ass there and make an appointment.

I'm glad I did it!

My clinic for WLS doesn't include this and never suggested this test, and i think it was super helpful.

I happened to get some good news because I now know that I have exactly 25 pounds of muscle on me above average women for my height and age. (I thought I was pretty dense, but it was good to hear that number so I could change my thinking). My ideal weight is closer to 155 than 130.

This test produces different results than a BMI. BMI does not factor in muscle mass ratio to fat mass. I have 40lbs of fat to loose. Most helpful test along the journey to date for $25 bucks.
