These are the two I use. The scooby one seems more accurate, but the fat2fit one is simplier I think.

Using the fat 2 fit link it's saying that I'm already at 25% bf, and if I want to get down to 16% (which i think would be too low for me, but i'm just saying), then i'd only have to drop to 183 lbs! I'm 205 right now at 5'4". i don't believe BMI is an accurate way to measure things, but at 5"4', 205 = BMI is 35.18. And that doesn't seem right. What the heck am I doing wrong?? It seems strange that this doesn't take into account height since someone that's 6' tall at 205 would have different goals than someone at 5'4".

Super confused.

I'm 5'3" and 168ish, but nowhere near 16% bf. lol. More like 34% by my scale (I know it's not accurate), and lower than that via calipers (1-site measure - I don't remember exact number, but I was in the "average" range).

Did you have it set to female? That would be about right for a male, I think?

Edited for typo!

I keep thinking I figured it out...but then I get confused again. This is what my results page says after I plug in my measurements:
_____________________________________________________________
The formula below will not calculate your exact body fat percentage. This calculation should give you a consistent measurement you can use as a guideline and determine if you're losing body fat and/or muscle.

Here's the information that you entered:

Sex: female
Age: 27 years old
Wrist: 6.5 inches
Waist: 41 inches
Hip: 46.5 inches
Forearm: 11 inches
Thigh: 27 inches
Calf: 18.25 inches

Based on this information, you have a lean body mass of 154 pounds. Your lean body mass includes everything in your body that's not fat. Now that we know your lean body mass, let's find out how much fat you're carrying around. We'll subtract your lean body mass from your weight and find you currently have 51 pounds of fat on your body.

Your body fat percentage is 25.1%.

Now that you have this informtion, visit our Goal Body Weight calculator and figure out how much you should weight based on your current lean body mass and body fat percentage.

Then I go on to the Goal Body Weight calculator and get these results when I plug in 21% bf% goal:

Custom Goal Body Weight Calculation

You currently weigh 205 pounds with a body fat percentage of 25.1%. You would like to have a body fat percentage of 21%.

Based on this information, your goal body weight should be:

195 pounds

How did we calculate this goal body weight?

We took you current weight and your current body fat percentage and multiplied them together. (Weight X Current Body Fat %/100) to get how many pounds of you is actually just fat. In this case you are currently carrying around 51 pounds of fat. To get your goal body weight we work backwards and divide your lean body mass by one minus your goal body fat percentage. (Lean Body Mass / (1 - Goal Body Fat %/100). This calculation yields your goal body weight.

When you reach your goal, hopefully you have maintained your current lean body mass of 154 pounds.

Oh well, at least I know that I just need to lose fat, and gaining some muscle won't hurt me of course. I guess I won't stress about these numbers so much right now.
