    well than I must have done something wrong, because based on my last caliper test I had 13%, and 111 of my 127 (at that time) that was lean mass. Since then the scale hasn't moved, but I've added more lean mass.

    Well, it's possible *I* did something wrong. I just plugged my numbers into an excel spreadsheet and then changed my numbers for yours. I did think it was strange since I'm about 35 lbs heavier than you.

    Thanks so much. I created an excel spreadsheet with this formula and I'll be using it monthly. :)

    I wonder if the women's waist measurement should be "smallest part of waist" and not "at navel". The smallest part of my waist is above my navel.

    I've done it again and again and just keep coming up with the same numbers, then i plugged it into an online one and still got the same number . . . my proportions must be all out of whack.
