    I know old old thread but interesting and gave much insight into body fat calipers. I was so confused as my caliper measurements were 23 to 24.5% and then other online calculators that included body measurements a high of 33%. I guess I should stop obsessing and go work out.

    It's numbers pulled out of the air because unless everyone is getting Dexa scans it's all guess work at best.

    Well, I could probably post progress pics by now... but they're definitely in the way WRONG direction. EEK. I'm around 31-32% using the online (tape measure) Home Body Fat Test. I'll try to post pics soon. I'm too embarrassed to go get calipered right now. Things kinda went downhill once I decided I'd be better off without forum life. Turns out I need the support. I just gotta stay away from the goof-off/manufactured drama stuff.

    I'm 36 years old, 5'2'' at 137 pounds (BMI considers i'm overweight, and should be between 102 and 135...). If I would just consider bmi standard, at my height and weight, I would be at 33% body fat. (most internet sites tell me I am obese and well over 35% body fat)

    md measurement with caliper: body fat % is at 25%. Lean mass is 105lbs.

    Well, I guess I will never live to see what I would look like at the bottom of my BMI ;-)
