this weekend i got a body composition test done at the gym, using their equipment. they have the handheld model that i have been looking at getting and according to those results, i am at around 24% body fat right now, which is the very edge of normal. that was my first goal. so everything from here out is gravy.

unfortunately, we did some math and found that i really only have another 5 or 6 lbs of fat to lose. being at just 130 right now, and considering that i'm likely to put on more muscle mass on my way to losing the fat, it looks like i don't really have a shot of losing much more weight than i have already. 130 may be it for me. i was hoping to reach 120 but in order to do that, i'm going to have to lose muscle mass.

it's somewhat disheartening news, but also good news. i'm glad to know that i'm moving in the right direction, and making significant progress. it also confirms my desire to get one of those handheld body fat testers.
