Body fat calculator

Options
Has anyone who has had their body fat measured in any other way ever used the fit2fat body calculator? http://www.fat2fitradio.com/tools/bf/

Just wondering how accurate it is for overweight people, since I still have a lot to lose, but it seems to think my body fat isn't nearly as bad as I think it is in my head. So if you've had body fat measured some other way (i.e. calipers for example), and you use this calculator, is there a big difference?

    I had a trainer at my gym do it, and it came up at 26.6% body fat. The online ones give me 25%.

    nothing like this will ever work correctly, I even tested it out just to have some proof and I can confirm that this was way off

    Okay, thanks. I just didn't think there was any way it was as low as this site said. Thank you for responding.
