    OP - you do realize that other people's pics are pretty much useless, right?

    I'm at 11% and don't look anything like a lot of these people who are at 15+%.

    28% or so. Would love to get down into the 20-22% range.

    ^ Just for all those of you beating yourselves up about your numbers.

    I like the IDEA of BF% as a better guide than weight or BMI, but with no cheap or reliable way to judge it, I won't be buying into it. Often it seems to be used as yet another form of self-flagellation, or to sell more training/diets.

    Right now I'm pregnant so I have no idea, but I do know that pre-pregnancy two different sets of scales, both giving the same weight reading, were 10% apart.

    This is a pic of me at 19. I had just placed second in a bodybuilding contest and ate a ton of spaghetti and ice cream. My brother snapped a pic of me. I know I was on average about 6-7% even though in this pic I look closer to 10. I miss those days..lol

    Im sad reading through this and seeing all you beautiful ladies posting GREAT BF% and giving sad faces... learn more about what is healthy, attainable and sustainable before dogging yourselves! And if youre bummed now, imagine how bummed you'll be when you cant reach 15% or you do and hate life... Just sayin :wink:

    Im 23.0%

    I'm roughly 15-18%
    Calipers gave me 14%, but the guy only did my upper body. I clearly have minimal fat on my thighs (muscle baby!), but surly not 0%! So I give more along those lines.

    I'm gonna go with 28-30%. I get really funky readings with different people doing my bodyfat. I'm supposedly about 27% now, would like to be about 22% but it might just be a pipe dream.

    No idea because that's my husband in the avatar. He's at a normal weight, so maybe 19% or so bf.

    In my profile pic I'm at about 20%.

    In my most recent pic which I just took today (if you look in my profile pics, it's the black and white one with the caption making a joke about being "bulky"), I'm at slightly under 18%. ^_^
