Very Uplifting Turn of Events :)

General
I've been trying to lose weight for 8 weeks straight now. I *was* making crazy fast progress at first, losing roughly 16 lbs in the first 2 weeks , but then, two weeks ago, I started doing resistance training, and the scale now barely has budged since. :(
Despite that, it looks like I've still been leaning/thinning out.
So...because MyFitnessPal has just become complete shit in recent years, I moved over to another (much better) alternative, in Cronometer. I also ordered a Fitbit; along with a new phone to replace my 5+ year old Samsung Galaxy s9, and some accessories for it; that should sync with it as well, that all should be arriving at varying times this week.
While signing up for Cronometer, and putting in my profile info (age, sex, weight, height, etc) it predicted/guessed my body fat % at ~40%. That...seems a bit high, even for someone with as big a belly & as skinny-fat & weak as I, so using a high accuracy formula/calculator developed by the US Navy that involves my waist & neck circumferences, I got a much more reasonable (and accurate) figure of ~31%. Makes sense, as during that two weeks, I've lost ~2 inches off of my waistline.
As someone who has been weak & skinny-fat even at the best of times his entire life, seeing them overestimate my body fatness based on demographic data was honestly a breath of fresh air I REALLY needed as of late. @_@

FA+

1) I just double checked an order for creatine monohydrate I made, not even 4 years ago on Amazon...the price has more than tripled since. ;_;
FML.
2) The delivery of my Fitbit has been delayed from today, to next Monday. >.<***
I even opted for the express 2 day shipping...thank DOG I didn't pay extra for that.
