Weight / Fat loss

I should have said whats the easiest way to measure bodyfat? i'm not sure how easily I can weigh myself in a pool and the electric device method, sounds like from what you say, could be inaccurate?

The most effective way is to weigh yourself on dry land and then do it again in a pool, the difference will give you the numbers needed to work it out.

The way most people do it is to get a device that sends an electric signal through the body and measure the resistance. This works if the impulse travels through the whole body, but mostly they only really work in a limb (they are built into scales which will measure legs and those machines in gyms you put your finger into measure arms).

As a cyclist be wary of the scales that do it as they are really only measuring the fat in your legs, which in most cyclists is a lot less than elsewhere.

Obviously like most body measurements numbers work best when compared to your previous numbers rather than some arbitrary ideal.
