    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 carry most of my weight in my lower belly, if that matters.

    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'.
