Weight Update for Apr 29

I've heard you're not supposed to be weighing yourself every day, but I have been over the last few days just to get a better sense of what's happening.  I didn't write the exact number down, but yesterday I was over 221lbs, which is not good (according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's BMI calculator, 221 puts my BMI up to 31.7).  So here are today's proper numbers:

weight: 220.4 lbs
fat percentage: 52.0%
hydration: 33.0%
muscle: 23.6%
bone: 10.9%
cal: 2380

And a weight of 220.4lbs puts my BMI to 31.6.

I'm glad to see that compared to April 27th, the fat percentage is very slightly down and the muscle percentage is very slightly up.  But these numbers are all unacceptable.   

While I'm not happy about this, I do now have a starting point for getting my health back on track. I'm not going to weigh myself now until next weekend.
