    Oooh! This is a scary question lol Your brave.

    I'd say around 16% - 18% BF?

    I could be way off though as I am no expert!

    I had to ask my husband to review and approve how much skin I could show... lol. I'll post my results when I get them from the bod pod. Whoever guesses correctly gets a cookie. Lol

    Women are hard to guess for but I would say 17.3%. In other words, excellent.

    Rachel was 19% BF before she left the ranch and weighed 150 lbs. There's no way NBC would release her current BF at 105 lbs.... But I digress. My guess is around everyone else's - probably 20%-ish? And you look fantastic!!

    Body Fat Percentage and BMI are not the same thing. You are asking what Body Fat Percentage you are, but Rachel from BL was only mentioned as far as 18.5% BMI.
    Body Fat Percentage is the weight of a person's fat divided by the person's weight.
    BMI is a measure of the weight of a person scaled according to their height

    Normally these are not the same number.

    You look similar to me, so 18-20% ish. I'm going to the bod pod thing, too soon, so I'd like to know what it comes out to for you. Are you going to post your test results here?

    I know my bmi just got below overweight, craziness! I'm 5'5" and 145 pounds and 24 years old.... I was considered overweight 5 pounds ago.

    My scale tells me my body fat percentage has gone from around 30 to 27... I know it's not the most accurate way to check it though...

    I thought the doctor mentioned her body fat percentage before she left the ranch....? 19% practically athlete

    I was guessing mid 20s, maybe I was guessing high

    That's also my guess.

    ETA - lower mid 20s that is.
