Default Re: 30 days after: I'm shocked by my results

Unfortunately using calipers to measure body fat is know to be sometimes inaccurate and in your case it definitely is.
Most of that weight you have lost is mostly water weight although you may have lost some fat and muscle.
Also, it is impossible for any human to put on 11.6 lb of muscle in a month. (Most people lifting weights intensely see those kinds of gains in 3 months).
And also, 21.6 lb of fat in a month is a dream. That can never happen (unless you had lipo). Most people lose 1-2 lb of fat per week where the max being severely obese people who could lose up to 4 lb of fat a week.

Sorry for the rant but its better to know your results for what they actually are rather than results you would get in some fantasy land.
