    22.9% (at least last I got it checked at gym about a month or so ago). I'm noticing my pictures all kind of stink because I never prep them, so please excuse the dirty mirror---I have got to clean that thing.

    Anyway, I'm 5'4", 119lbs, and 39 y/o. Yeah it totally stinks I carry all my fat in my belly, otherwise I'd be done losing. I really do have abs you just can't really see them. Ah well.

    ETA: MireyGal76 and RumRunner I want your abs!! I also think it is astonishing how good some people look at various weights and heights. I cannot go far above 120lbs without looking like junk. But some of you wow amazing! You are the same height as me and you look spectacular in the 130s and even 140s!

    The day I got CALIPERED at 19.8% my Tanita digital scale (foot pads only) read 34%. Those things are a joke in my case.

    THANK YOU! My scale has been saying 34% or so for the last 2 years, and I've lost almost 20 lbs, but it still says 34%. Glad to know I'm not crazy! :laugh:

    the picture in my profile shows me over 34% body fat and then me right at 20% (measured with calipers).

    I'm 5' 7.25" and the weights at each time are on my photo at that given time.

    Lol. My Tanita only changes when my feet are cold (I am way fatter when cold, lol). But the average matches the Army calculation strangely enough...

    Damn! How are you all getting defined six packs at 19%? I thought you needed to be under 15! I'm around 16-18, I do ab work, and my abs barely have definition. I guess that's just were my fat likes to hang?

    I am 5'7" and 124 pounds. My profile pic is pretty recent. According to online calculators I am between 20 and 25%. I have been thinking of getting that caliper thing and seeing what that says!! I would like to be 18 or 19%
