    I went into pretty good detail in the body fat lean mass section. Basically it depends which standared you go by. I've been everywhere from around 17-26%

    The measure method is awful. It assumes everyone carries their weight in the same spots. I know a girl who carries a lot of weight in her elbows...the top of her arms are actually smaller. Shes probably going to get a low reading just because of things like that...plus...you are measuring everything that way, not fat. I dont think anyone can run around stating they are a certain percent bevause there is just no standard and even the most accurate methods have weird sources of error. You could be read twice in a row and get a different reading.

    That is my next read! Thank you!!!!! :)
    Best way to find out is to post a picture and have someone with experience with bodybuilding or fitness make an educated guess... As far as the internet goes anyway.

    I'm not quite confident enough to do that. :blushing: I can post my wt online but ... . if I show a pic with regular clothes on I do not look nearly as heavy as my weight suggests. However if its just a swimsuit it is super obvious! I might ask when I do my "success story" what people think of the before pictures, because by then I should be hot and not worry if I was fat before! lol

    And to every one else thank you you all are awesome and helpful!! :flowerforyou:
