We put @lin7604 at higher than 20% by a couple of points fwiw.

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!

Myself and SideSteel put you in the low to mid 20's - so in line with your assessment.

REPOSTING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: If you would like an estimate, you are required to post your photos in this thread or in a PM. We will no longer be doing estimates by looking in your profiles. Please label your pics as flexed or relaxed, accordingly.

Did you read the above? Testing? Is this thing on?




Hello ladies and gentlemen,

For a while at bodybuilding.com, I would contribute to the bodyfat estimation thread where people would post photos for an estimate. I think this would be a good feature to have here. If you would like an estimate, please post links to your photos in this thread. Generally speaking, at a bare minimum you should post a front relaxed and a front flexed photo. The more photos you post and in reasonable lighting, the more accurate we will be able to estimate.

It goes without saying that at higher bodyfat percentages it becomes more difficult.

This thread is simply for people to get an estimate as needed. I'll gladly guess for both genders but I'll be more accurate on males. Insert joke here. (Actually don't, lets keep this thread clean).

Other people are welcome to participate in providing estimates provided you're reasonably good at it or experienced at some capacity. Please be well aware that we are looking for accuracy and not sugar-coating or padding someones feelings, just being blunt here. If you have done estimates before then feel free to chime in.

Ladies, please also provide at least a relaxed side-pic. The relaxed pic should be with your arms down and to the front/side so you are not stretching. Also, the pics need to show your legs, at least from the knees up. Also, please provide a back pic - at least a relaxed one, but a flexed would also be useful. The pics need to be candid pics and not at flattering angles/body positions.

Additionally, please provide height and weight.

See http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/832956-how-to-post-pictures? for help on how to post pictures to a thread.

Hello guys and thanks for everything you do here.

I'd like a rough estimate on bf% to help build a more concrete plan.

Pics are as unflattering as they can get

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.

Hey Sara, I hope this works from my mobile, and I hope these pictures are helpful.




Yay me, it worked!

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.

Hello all. Trying to get a rough idea of my BF so I can get a rough idea of how much more fat I want to drop before working on building muscle. I hear 20% is a good point for women, and I know I'm not there yet, but one day!. My scale says 22% (lies) and tape tests (Navy) says 25% on the dot, but I'd love further input.

I'm 5'3", give or take an inch and 144.5 pounds. Not sure about this flexing thing but I gave it my best go.

Front, relaxed and flexed



Side, relaxed and front (all the tummy flub!)



Back, relaxed and flexedx2 (I'm having issues with all of my swimsuit bottoms. I have to cinch them all the way to make them fit and not slide down, but my butt is just...well, anyway. I'm going to walk into rooms backwards and flexed from now on.)





Edit: OMG these are huge. /slinks away

I would like to get an estimate of what my BF% was pre-pregnancy, mostly so that I have a goal for what to back to. No rush, I've got awhile before I need to worry about it, as I'm not due until March. I tried to do the best I could to find pics that met the requirements, but they are from a range of time. They are all within a year pre-pregnancy. I am 5' 4.75", and these pics are all between 110-115 lbs. I know that's a five pound swing, mostly because I spent the year before trying to conceive trying to put on weight, but maybe you could widen the range of bf% for the estimate? Thanks in advance. I know you two put in a lot of time on this on a completely volunteer basis, and I know all of us who benefit from it certainly appreciate it.

Hi! Sorry for the delay.

We would put you at approximately 20%, give or take a % either way.
