    Which is the number to go by?

    For what?

    What are you trying to accomplish?

    I want to know where I fall within each range. At 5'4" and 120 lbs, neither number was complimentary!

    What? Body fat %, 100%, with those stats.

    You can look on the chart if you want your BMI. But to get body fat, you have to get measured or scanned. It isn’t 100% (tomatoey was poking fun). When you go in September for that dexascan, you should be able to get your body fat measurement from that.
