The (not) skinny

Today my trainer decided to take my measurements and my body fat percentage- these, especially the BF%, are a better indicator of health then your weight. Much to my frustration, my measurements are exactly the same as they were four months ago, even though I have been eating better and working out slightly more, which did not make either of us happy. My body fat percentage went down by 1%, which is good, but it is still not in the healthy range. So, I decided to get a scale that measures weight, % of water in your body,and BF% to keep track of them and motivate me to eat better and workout. I have resisted buying a scale because I have a tendency to get fixated on the number on that scale and completely forget that that is only part of the picture. When I did it late morning it rated me as obese- which shocked me. I decided to do it again tonight and record it and the percentage went down by 2%, which is in the "overfat" range- strange because this was after I had eaten lunch, dinner and some snacks, so I wonder if the time of day it is done matters. I also wonder if the time of the month would impact it. I also bought these green tea dietary supplement pills out of sheer curiosity. They were only 5.00 and I have heard reports of something in green tea helping with weight loss, so I thought if they work, it will kick start my weight loss and if they don't I'm only out 5.00. And yes mom, I checked the ingredients and I can bring the package over for your approval!
