    Hi, I'm not sure if these pictures are good enough but i'd like an estimate on my bf% if possible.

    I'm 45 yrs old 5' 8.5" and as of sunday weight 195.6 lbs

    I started losing weight back in january of this year (started at close to 250lbs) didn't take before pics though;( while i'd like to continue losing weight i'm getting more concerned about gaining back some of the strength and muscle i've lost over the past 7 months and focus on losing just BF so i started doin SL 5x5 about 8 weeks ago to address that.

    sorry, i know this isn't the thread for a bio about me...just wanted to give a little insight since i'm new to the group.

    anyway..here are the pics and thank you very much for all the help you provide to this group. I'm so glad i found it!

    Please let me know if you need better pictures and i'll try...unfortunately i'm not good at self photo's lol

    Thanks in advance,
    Tim

    Somewhere in the upper 20's.

    Hi Sara and SS! I'm 5'3" and 122 pounds. I'm having trouble figuring my body fat % and determining my goal body fat %, so I thought I'd come to the experts. I do tend to hold most of my excess weight in my *kitten* and thighs, so I know that makes it a little more difficult...
    Thank you so much for all you do and for the wealth of knowledge you are!

    I'm (barely!) 5'6'' and about 125 lbs. I'd love to hear what you guys think my body fat is (skin calipers have given me between 19 and 22% but that feels low?).

    For some reason every time I try to link my pictures it says they've been deleted or moved, so here's the link to the album. Sorry about the inconvenience!

    Hey guys,

    I'd be real interested in your thoughts on my current BF%. I have a fitbit Aria scale and it puts me between 17-19%, but who knows how accurate that scale actually is. Both the pictures are not flexed. HT: ~ 5' 9-10", WT: 171 lbs.

    Thanks!

    Okay, I guessed myself at 30% body fat on bodybuilder.com but I would love your opinion. Thank you so much for your time :) I'm 5'5'' and currently 154 lbs. All relaxed poses. I hope these come out okay, I suck at posting images on threads.

    You can't have spaces in the photo album name or picture name.

    Sorry that we are so behind in this thread. My new new job is making it hard for me and SideSteel to catch up live - I actually have to do some work for my salary now...how rude!. Hopefully we can get caught up over the weekend. Thank you everyone for your patience.

    Not technically savvy at all! Re-read instructions and I am having trouble uploading pictures where they are facing vertically/the whole picture shows up in the post. I'm really wanting to get a good estimate of where I am and what my next step should be. I just want to look good naked!! Feeling frustrated.

    Hope these are usable. Quite keen to get your estimates - every machine I try comes up with a completely different number!

    Thanks ....


    flexed and not flexed (I actually can't tell the difference!)

    Hard to tell without seeing a flexed pic (and a shaved pic lol) but you're probably in the 15-16% range.
