Holy body fat!

I just went and calculated my body fat percentage using fat 2 fit radio and I guess I have been in denial. How in the world could I be packing around 43.5 % body fat, that is a whopping 90 some pounds of fat. It was some what depressing, I thought my lean mass would be a little more.

Anyone in a similar range or were in a similar range want to give me a little support, I feel like I'm drowning (in fat)?

My numbers as of now are
SW: 234
CW: 220
GW: 190 ( for now anyways, I guess I will see where my body fat % is by then)
Oh and I'm 5'10"

Incidentally, just today I started to doubt whether fat2fitradios mbf calculator is reliable. When I use it, it pegs me around 26-27% body fat (mind you, I've been losing weight and getting fit for a year now; I probably started where you are now body fat % wise). But, using an electrical impedance body fat analyzer, it pegged me at about 17-18% body fat. That's a pretty large difference.

Thank you GrAIVt, I found a hand held one at one of the gyms here and it gave a different reading of 37.7 which is less, still a lot but it is nice to know
