Eeek! Great thank you! I will keep chugging along. I'm just like silly fan girl happy to get advice from you both. I would be lost without this group.0

If it's OK, I'd like to PM pics for another estimate, now that I've been lifting for a bit
Should I send a new PM with link to pictures?0 -

Put your IMG's into lower case and you'll be good to go.
Thanks. I've corrected and re sized them now.0 -
Ok.....deeply unflattering photos ahoy. I reckon your guess on here will be as good as anyones - I have had two major surgeries on my stomach, both times involving a laperotomy. Where the 'hole' now is, my stoma used to be and it had a hernia behind it for some time, hence all the loose skin. You can literally pull at the skin on my lower stomach, which is why I haven't used my abs to estimate my BF%, also, I started 5 stone heavier. 6'0" tall, 166lbs.

I had a C-bag for 7 months from my Ileostomy with a successful one-shot reversal. Keep up the good work man.Ok.....deeply unflattering photos ahoy.

Ah, they tried to reverse mine (some 10 years after my initial op) but couldn't - the 'hole' is where my stoma used to be, they swapped sides cos of my hernia. I can literally tuck the loose skin into my belt. I'm hoping it will tighten over time, even when I'm bulking it wont be pushed out...0

No hurry - I have already decided to move to maintenance pre-bulk because I'm too light for a Rugby player, whatever my BF% is - this is just for 'academic' purposes. I have set myself 2400 to maintain, but 'end of cut fever' has meant I am eating more like 2700 and the scale hasn't gone anywhere (other than an initial 2lb jump on the second day, I am assuming that is glycogen replenishment because 1900 was a daft number of cals for someone as active as me).....0 -
We will make an effort to get caught up on this thread by end of day tomorrow (1/29) if at all possible.0

These were taken today on my phone. I have calipers and have got a body fat estimation of about 30-32.5% body fat but I'm not sure how accurate that is. I'm 5'4'' and 127lbs.

I have not calculated mine for a while on them, but at my leanest (where I was about 18 - 19% bf (actually about 17% based on a hydrostatic test which was a bit under imo)) they came out at 26% for me. I think my *kitten* throws them off.0 -

Hello, could I get an estimate please. 5'8" 226
EDIT: Pics deleted per request.0 -
Alrighty, here it goes. I'm primarily focusing on lowering my bf%, so it would be great to get your estimate. I use the scale output solely to track the trend, as I doubt I'm as low as it's analyzing.
I'm 5'8, 144lbs. Let me know if you need any addt'l pics. And thanks!!!
