Man, it would take me forever to eat a ton of feed! *Not sure it's
worth the effort. *Besides, I'm hovering around 11% fat, if it
decreased by 34% wouldn't that mean I'd have -23% fat? *That can't be
healthy.

I know. I am about five pounds heavier, and I'm also using a
different digital scale. Regardless, I do feel like a fat ****. ;(
