    Hi, I would place myself somewhere in the 20-25% range, according to those online pic estimators, and the navy measuring test. Would you say the same? Thanks so much for doing this, it's a great help!

    You look like 25-27%

    Sorry @ females, I am only used to judging guys (no homo)

    I'm less than 10 lbs from my goal weight but I think I need to lose more. :ohwell: I would love to get a better idea of my body fat percentage to guide me from that point. I'm a teacher so I'm not comfortable posting pics like you need on here. Are you still accepting pics via PM? Do you need my measurements or just height and weight? Thanks!

    These photos were taken today. I hope that these show up. This is the first time I have posted pics in a thread.

    I am 5' 5" and weigh in at 138lb. I have been using fat2fit body fat calculators and know that my body fat % has dropped, I am just trying to get a realistic idea based on visual comparison.

    If you could be so kind, can you remove my photos after you have agreed and responded?

    Sorry these are so big. I don't know how to resize yet.

    from what I see from other pictures you look about 24-26%

    This is all I have for now... these were taken about a month ago, but it'd still be helpful to know about where I *was*. I'll repost next time I take progress photos. I am 5'5" tall, and I currently weigh ~122lbs.

    I used all 3 calculators on Fat2Fit and averaged that out, but I'm still interested to know your thoughts. :)

    @DatMurse, I think this thread is only for the mods (Sara & SideSteel) to comment on BF.
