    Mandie, I went to an army website and it asked for my neck measurement. Is this the same one you used?

    Oops! I'm sorry but after I checked out my body fat count I realized that I measured my waist wrong. I should have measured about 1 inch above my belly button and I measured right around the flabby stomach part that was left after I had babies. So, my

    waist is actually: 35

    And I believe my body fat% is: 38%

    Sorry!

    Awesome work you're doing on this Mandie! That body fat % is scary! Can you tell us what those percentages mean? Like how they break it down on what's considered healthy, normal, horrible even. Not sure I want to know :noway: , but I probably should :tongue: . Or if you can provide a link to the site you're using I can look myself if you want. Thanks "daughter" :laugh:

    I have had 4 kids, the last 3 were all in 5 years and were all C-Sections.....so my belly is a lot of extra skin.... I want to at least shrink that area!!!

    Marnie & everyone else, here is the breakdown of what body fat % mean...

    Women
    Essential fat 12-15%
    Athletes 16-20%
    Fitness 21-24%
    Acceptable 25-31%
    Obese 32% +

    I decided i'm NOT going to keep track of everyones because it's kind of confusing & I entered some of yours wrong because I didn't have most of your neck measurements I realized. So to actually find you own percent of body fat, you can vist the site:

    http://www.calculator.net/army-body-fat-calculator.html

    ---> according to this one I'm 27%

    OR this one which is just the basic body fat %:

    http://www.calculator.net/body-fat-calculator.html

    ---> according to this one i'm 26.1% so they do differ slightly


    I WILL JUST BE KEEPING TRACK OF MEAUREMENTS & for those of you that gave me seperate for left vs right, I just took the larger of the two numbers :happy: Whew. I hope everyone has a great day!!!
