We've been climbing and hiking for the last two weeks. Averaging 12km horizontally and 1km vertically every day. This has been coupled with healthy eating so weight loss was to be expected. My Garmin scales reckon that I have lost about 2.5kg in that time. Not unreasonable considering the amount of water weight I would have lost also due to the diet change.
However, where the Garmin scales are completely wrong, is the fact it reckons I have reduced my body fat percentage by 7% in 14 days :D
My body fat % will vary 4%-7% during the day. I just put it down to hydration/dehydration.
To even it out you're supposed to drink some amount and then weigh an hour later or something. I haven't got time fort that so I just note the numbers and move on with sinking piss and eating kebabs.
Is that the case with all body composition scales? If so, then I should try to be less narked about it. There is no way I could manage to drink the same amount and weigh at the same time.
Just need to figure out why Garmin thinks my bones have been getting lighter over the last few years :D

Totally useless.
