    Accoording to the website I'm 27.8% bf. Sure feels like a lot more. I'm 5'5, 177lbs with about 40 pounds left to lose. Anyone know how to calculate how much body fat you should lose?

    Damn, everybody is saying that this http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/diet.html is accurate...then I'm really 50.2%?! I'm gonna cry...I may weight 180 at 5'2 but no really? 50%?! Everyone tells me I don't look like someone of 180 at all. O.o

    I'm your height and 123 at 33%...just fyi It's not as bad as it sounds. Something to work on yes, but not to get caught up on!!
    If it makes you feel better, I was around 56% at my heaviest.
    I'm now around 22% (or 18.6% according to that website, but I don't think it's accurate for me since I have a proportionately tiny waist and that sort of skews it, I think).

    Yup. I started at 42% body fat. 31% now and hoping to get down to 18-19%.

    To those of you upset about your numbers, don't be. Use it as motivation to kick some *kitten* in the gym. :)
