    One other question, if the hand held devices are not really reliable is there a better way to measure BF%?
    Because I think that BF% is probably the best way to gauge progress from this point forward.

    While the formulas for converting to BF% are questionable at best...

    Tape measures are extremely effective measures of progress. Directly measure problem areas to see if they are improving.

    The issue with the formulas is that everyone is different. The measurement methodology is sound though, for everyone there exists a formula that converts measurements and weight to BF%, it just custom and unique to you. But you don't really need to know it, BF% is just a number, you don't need it to gauge progress.

    I agree with using a tape measure. Waist is a good indicator. Or a calipers will give you a rough percent. You can buy them cheap.
