"Healthy" BF% ???

OMG - I re-took the Military Body Fat Calculator and I got 34.9%. On that same website, their chart says that at my age (43), 35% is the high end of "HEALTHY"! Not overweight!

Now, my BMI is still "overweight," and I know 34.9% is a pretty high body fat percentage (I'm aiming for 25% and I still won't be skinny), but it's still a WIN!

This chart has higher ranges than many other charts, but the Military Body Fat Calculator also gives me a higher bf% than other online calculators. I don't have calipers or the scales that measure body fat, or access to a water displacement test.

ANYWAY - it's definite progress and it also said I gained 2.4 lbs in lean mass since the last time I did the calculation. {{flexes muscles}}
