Guess my scale is wrong (NSV)

My new scale reads body fat % and I was shocked to see that I was 34.7% body fat. Took it the next day after making sure I was properly hydrated and it was 35.7%.

This concerned me because I never thought of myself as obese and at 35% body fat I was technically obese. I'm 5'0 and 118lbs (still)...sure I have a little weight to lose, but not that much.

I tried using two online calculators using measurements and also measured and calculated it using calipers.

Military Body Fat calculator: 23.8%
Covert Bailey Body Fat Calculator: 24.3%
Using Calipers: 23.91%

Those numbers make way more sense. The last time I tried to calculate it using the calculators on the Fat to Fit I got 26.3% from one and 27.1% from the other (about 3 weeks ago).

I may not have lost 1lb yet, but I am beginning to lose inches and some body fat.

I might just stop weighing myself for a while.
