Harder and Harder..............II

[PatientMan]

Calipers are an easy way to track progress at home. You can purchase Accumeasure calipers from Amazon for less than $10, and that's what I recommend.

The bf measuring scales are more expensive and can be very finicky (as well as inaccurate for various reasons), though they're usually ballpark good. To get a true test of bf, there are more accurate ways than calipers or scales, but Accumeasure will get you pretty close and - here's the most important part - if your goal is to lose fat, you know you're making progress as long as the measurement you take keeps getting smaller. This is just proof that you're progressing in the right direction.

I believe a set of instructions on how to use the calipers comes with those calipers, but I can post pretty simple instructions (stand straight and pinch 1" above the iliac crest - repeat weekly or biweekly).

Note: another good indicator is simply how your clothes fit, which you two have already commented about having success on.

Let me know if you have further questions.
