The algorithms used in scales for body fat won't work with me since I lost 110 lbs and thus have extra skin. The information, in my case, would not be of any help. I not vein enough, nor desire, to have elective surgery to remove the extra skin--plus, when I've mentioned that I'd weigh ~2lbs less if I had the extra skin removed, several doctors have told me not to do it...it's not worth the complications and massive scars. If I had lost a lot more(say 200 lbs+), then it might be warranted.

At least 4 to 5 gym sessions of spin, Trx, Fst, weights my arms are sissy, ab work etc around 6hours a week.
I even rode to the gym on a ss.
I rode about 250 a week in the summer and as much as I can in the winter
In five year I have not lay a single lb am able to wear smaller clothes and still have a flabby tummy so much for doing Russian twists.
I also always feel like every session is my first ever my hrm in spin averages 170.
I am 5'6" 54 years old....
Can't shed the weight
I would love to be 170 which was the goal 5 years ago.
I just eat less, eat more veggies and fruits, very rarely imbibe(because of diabetes), do eat rice and pasta, and exercise(cycling). The changes were the introduction, or rather the increase, of veggies and fruits. I even eat red meats. I went from 251# down to 139~142#(5'7") by doing this. Everyone is different--I don't put stock in fad diets--a balanced meal and portion sizes are what I use.
