    I've submitted my pics twice via PM, and still nothing:(
    Where did you submit them? I am not seeing them in the thread.
    I sent them to you via PM, I didn't want the pics posted in the thread.

    Ok.....deeply unflattering photos ahoy. I reckon your guess on here will be as good as anyones - I have had two major surgeries on my stomach, both times involving a laperotomy. Where the 'hole' now is, my stoma used to be and it had a hernia behind it for some time, hence all the loose skin. You can literally pull at the skin on my lower stomach, which is why I haven't used my abs to estimate my BF%, also, I started 5 stone heavier. 6'0" tall, 166lbs.

    I had a C-bag for 7 months from my Ileostomy with a successful one-shot reversal. Keep up the good work man.

    Ah, they tried to reverse mine (some 10 years after my initial op) but couldn't - the 'hole' is where my stoma used to be, they swapped sides cos of my hernia. I can literally tuck the loose skin into my belt. I'm hoping it will tighten over time, even when I'm bulking it wont be pushed out...

    Was I supposed to PM too? I just stuck em up and assumed someone would notice sooner or later.....

    No, sorry. We are just really behind. We will get caught up soon (hopefully).

    No hurry - I have already decided to move to maintenance pre-bulk because I'm too light for a Rugby player, whatever my BF% is - this is just for 'academic' purposes. I have set myself 2400 to maintain, but 'end of cut fever' has meant I am eating more like 2700 and the scale hasn't gone anywhere (other than an initial 2lb jump on the second day, I am assuming that is glycogen replenishment because 1900 was a daft number of cals for someone as active as me).....

    These were taken today on my phone. I have calipers and have got a body fat estimation of about 30-32.5% body fat but I'm not sure how accurate that is. I'm 5'4'' and 127lbs.

    We'd put you around 28% or so.

    What did they give you out of interest?

    They are really wrong for me.

    I did a couple - as high as 16% which I am blatantly not and as low as 12%. I suppose if I had taken the average.....

    I have not calculated mine for a while on them, but at my leanest (where I was about 18 - 19% bf (actually about 17% based on a hydrostatic test which was a bit under imo)) they came out at 26% for me. I think my *kitten* throws them off.

    I hadn't realised you were supposed to submit photos of your *kitten* with the calculations..... :bigsmile:

    Hello, could I get an estimate please. 5'8" 226
    EDIT: Pics deleted per request.

    Alrighty, here it goes. I'm primarily focusing on lowering my bf%, so it would be great to get your estimate. I use the scale output solely to track the trend, as I doubt I'm as low as it's analyzing.

    I'm 5'8, 144lbs. Let me know if you need any addt'l pics. And thanks!!!

    I replied to that email with the front and side pics you requested, but still have not received any estimation of BF%. :)
