    OK, I always have this problem, where is the edit button? The only options I see are "Report Post" "Quote" and "Reply"

    Testing the edit function...

    edit: Yep - it's there, right next to the quote/reply buttons. I believe you only have a certain amount of time - 2hrs? - to edit your posts before they become "locked" by MFP.

    ^^ that's correct in my experience. It goes away for anyone but mods after that.

    You have to resize in the hosting app.

    Can you post a pic that shows your arms, preferable flexed aslo.

    Could you help me out with this? I think I'm calculating my bodyfat % wrong, I used skinfold calipers on my pectorial, abomin and (I don't remember the actual name of the other place) side between hip and ribcage. I got 28 %, however I estimate that I'm between 30-35%.
    Theses are my pictures, could you have a look and tell me if my skinfold calculations were off.

    So, finally there..

    We put you at about 17%, give or take a % point either way.

    I'm using an electronic impulse body fat meter. I know they're not too accurate, but until I get out of the 30s, is there really any point to my having someone try to visually estimate it? Right now, it's just too high. LOL But, it is lower than when I started last year and lost over 60 pounds. So, I'm not totally complaining.

    It's actually really hard to assess when it gets into the 30's. IMO, as long as you are losing inches...and your clothes are getting smaller, that's the real 'test'.
