I downloaded those docs. I’ll probably begin after I finish these Trader Joes’s Peanut Butter Cups. Thanks for the support.

Lyn, the body fat truck is in different place around here. You can check where it will be on their calendar and book online: http://www.fitnesswavenorcal.com/calendar.html Keep us posted on your findings!

Thanks for sharing your experiences with the BF test dunk tank. I am curious to see how much body fat I have. I’ve avoided the household weighing scale or the doctor’s office scale ever since I started CrossFit (a couple months ago). I get disappointed everytime I weigh myself on the scale. The BF test should be able to help me set my goals. I need to find out when is the next time the BF truck comes around the area.
Also, thanks for sharing the liveprimal.com recipes.

This was my first test.
Weight: 188lbs.
BF%: 18.6%
When I first started kickboxing, which around was a 1.5 to 2 years ago, I weighed roughly 230lbs. Somebody even told me I looked pregnant when I first signed up. Not only have I dropped a lot of weight, over 40lbs, I’m a whole hell of a lot stronger than I used to be. Concerning my weight, it’s more or less plateaued the last 6 months, but I’m constantly getting stronger, and my body composition is continuing to change, especially now that I’m doing Crossfit.
My goals.
Right now, it’s to drop down to 15% BF, which mean I have to lose 8 lbs. of fat, which would mean dropping down to 180lbs., assuming no changes in lean muscle mass (which I’m not going to assume, b/c I’m constantly getting stronger). In any case, I’m going to go on a strict paleo “diet” until I reach my goal of 180lbs.

I tested a year ago at 23%, this time I tested at 20%, so a 3% drop. I also weighed in 5lbs more then last year. I was happy that I went down and not up on the body fat %, but not totally happy that I didn’t acheive my goal. Goal for next time is 16%, I would need to weigh exactly what I weighed last year to get that so I need to cut 5 lbs to get that.
I love the dunk truck too, I totally recommend getting tested if you haven’t ever done so!

Way to go Ritu! 6 months ago I tested and I was at 11%, this time came in at 7.7%. What was even more awesome was the report showed my weight almost exactly the same, however I lost 5lbs of fat and GAINED 5lbs of muscle!
I love the dunk truck.
