I also pulled out my body composition monitor today and decided I'm going to start tracking my body fat% along with my weight.
After some google-ing, I've found out that the ideal fat % for women my age is 21-33% to be considered 'healthy'. Until I know more about it all, my first goal is to get under 40% then ideally I'd like to get to 30% and see how I feel once I'm there.
Measurements will start next week, I promise I'm going to take my bloody measurements!
I'm so close to being able to start my sheet of crossing off numbers as I reach them on the scales. I'm looking forward to being able to cross off each of those numbers and feeling proud of myself while I do it!
For me, BF% is more important than weight. If I see that my weight goes up just slightly, but that my BF% has gone down, I take that as a sign that I've gained muscle (which is great!). Best of luck as you continue on.
