Somewhere in between obese and athletic!

So, I hopped on my Aria scale today and it told me my BF% was 32.5! I know, I know, those things are notoriously unreliable...but still, I haven't thought about my BF% in a bit, so I tried out the online calculators on fat 2 fit tools, and here were the results:
Body fat: 25.4%
Covert-Bailey: 21.2%
Military: 16.8%

Now, I know the accuracy of the calculators should all be taken with a grain of salt too, but if you look at the range of all of them...

I'm somewhere between athletic and obese.

Bet some of ya'll fall into that category, too? :laugh:

    I wish I fell into that category. Well, that is why I am here.

    Next time try the scale with wet feet ;-)
    My brother once wore socks on one of those scales and showed up as 35% instead of 8... Still not sure why it worked in that case, but I stayed well away from those socks :-p

    IDK about the scales but I've seen some darn strong obese people! No joke. Working out will give you muscle even if you're over weight!
