    *Deep breath* (Can't believe I'm putting pics of me in my skivvies on the interwebs :grumble: )

    I'm ready for an estimate, please. :flowerforyou: For reference, I'm 5'9" and 126.5 lbs, give or take a lb. I understand this to be at the very lowest end of "healthy as per BMI" weight for my height, but I don't think I look underweight (I could use some reassurance about that tbh).

    Front, relaxed and flexed.

    Thanks for your time. I may also have some questions (based on your answer here) about what my next steps might be (I'm spending a lot of time frigging around with my intake lately and I think I just need someone to tell me what to do, lol).

    You have your shoes on, so it's OK. I was barefoot, so had to ask that my skivvies pics be deleted ;)

    I'd also like to add, that while I'm no expert, I do not think you look too thin. I'm 5'10" and ~130lbs, so also at the bottom end of BMI. I think BMI might be a bit off for taller women.

    Please excuse the mess in the background - we're moving house in two days time!

    Hi!

    We put you at approximately 28%, give or take a percentage point either way.

    Hi!

    You do not look underweight - you look lean :smile:

    We put you at about 18%, give or take a % point.

    Great clear pics btw - makes it easier for us.

    Thanks. That's way more than the calculators - guess I have some work to do :)

    Thanks so much! Well, that's one goal off my list! :bigsmile:

    I'll be seeking to pick your brain again shortly re: next steps for the the next few months in my progress thread.

    Just inquiring if there was an issue seeing my pictures? I sent out private messages with the link and password. If there was no issue, then I am just waiting patiently.

    Were you able to see my images okay on the link I added? Let me know if you want them a different way or if you need better pics. I had issues with getting good ones.

    Thank you The number you gave is right around what my cheap *kitten* scale says but I was very, very hesitant to believe it.

    And THANK YOU for the personal note. I appreciate it. Yes, I have extra skin and still have a lot of fat in my tummy and it is embarrassing but I have to learn to accept it and be happy where I am. I've come a long way. July 19, 2012 I had my bf taken and it was around 35% by Dec it was 25% and now 20%. I'll be back to get some advise on recomping but for now. I'm a happy camper!

    I just posted my Success Story yesterday. If anyone want to know my story - http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1027374-found-the-faith-to-believe-in-myself

    Thanks again.

    Thanks so much, I really appreciate it. I'm looking into starting weights and I wanted to have a good estimate of my starting point. :)

    I'm still working on getting lean. Legs are on the lighter side since I only have access to a pair of 52.5 adjustable dumbbells. Kindly estimate bodyfat. Thanks.

    Sorry, I missed this part: "The pics need to be candid pics and not at flattering angles/body positions." Let me take new pictures tonight and post them. Thanks.
