Progress

 We bought a new set of digital bathroom scales back in May as the old set had packed it in.  These measure your body composition.  I'm generally unsure of the science behind these things and how accurate they truly are.  For instance my watch also has this feature and the two have quite large differences between them.  One thing that I think works though is relativism.  If i'm 10 in one metric and I measure myself again a week later and i'm down to 9.9 then I can see progress even if the initial figure 10 isn't accurate.

The figure i've improved on today is visceral fat, that's the belly fat found deep within your abdominal cavity.  My value dropped from 13 to 12 yesterday!  I can tell that i'm definitely trimming down since I started going to the gym but it's nice to get recognition.  I'm not sure what the unit of 12 or 13 is, kgs sounds a bit heavy.  I'm sure it's still too high anyway but as I said earlier it's coming down which is the main thing.
