So I got my body fat measured today with the DEXA instrument at the U of T Austin campus - right in the stadium itself where they do all of their sports medicine. It was very quick ~ 3 minutes on the table, 30 minutes altogether.
The results were what I suspected - 29% body fat, *just* over the line and into obese for my height and age. *But* here is the cool news, I started MMA in September and I have lost 15 pounds on the home scale. Also I *know* I am way stronger with concrete proof of all the progress in the various exercises. Conservatively, I estimate that I have gained at least 3 pounds of muscle. Given that, I estimate that I was 35% back in September.
My goal is to get down to ~185 pounds, ~ 20% fat.
