does anyone wanna guess my body fat %?

And the result is:
Body mass: 143.535 lb
Fat free mass: 121.094 lb
Fat mass: 22.441 lb
Fat percentage: 15.6%

Hmmm interesting. I think you look very wonderful and fit but 15% is more what I'd expect in a very muscular defined female. (I'm no where near 15% but am the same height as you and 10 lb lighter so great job!!!)

I would say 23 percent. .I know from the gym the fittest women are still over 20 percent.

I would guess 24-25%. Glad you are feeling healthy!

And the result is:
Body mass: 143.535 lb
Fat free mass: 121.094 lb
Fat mass: 22.441 lb
Fat percentage: 15.6%

i'm sorry, but no, these numbers are not correct. what method did they use? 15% puts you in the elite fitness competition status, and your pics don't seem to indicate this. or maybe i'm just a hater.

She used a bod pod, I believe hydration levels can play a part in the results of the bod pod tests

I would say 23 to 24%.

***Edit to add*** I have used the bod pod and according to the staff at the Health and Wellness Center there can be up to a 2% margin for error in either direction. But with all that being said she still looks great and I believe the Bod Pod results are fairly accurate considering I am a person who has used it.

Do they do this test with a fasted empty gut or anything? Seems like food/water in the gut could make a big difference.


ETA I got simul-post joffed.

I agree that your pictures are tiny and maybe miss leading. If you are concerned post larger full body pictures. Possibly flexed and unflexed from the front, back and side.

And the result is:
Body mass: 143.535 lb
Fat free mass: 121.094 lb
Fat mass: 22.441 lb
Fat percentage: 15.6%

That fat free mass # seems high to me. I did the bod pod a few months ago and read up on it beforehand and from what I read, the average lbm (fat free mass is the same thing, right ?) for a woman is about 100 lbs (depending on height of course). I also read a few blogs of women who had done the bod pop and they all had 99 -102 lbs of lbm.
Anyway, when I did the test I weighed 140 lbs and am 5'6". My results were 99. something lbm and the rest was fat, so 40. something lbs of fat = 28.9% bf. I think my results were pretty accurate though, I wanted it to say 24-25%, but it's possible that I'm closer to 29% bc I still need to lose more weight.

Although my results seemed to be somewhat accurate, there's something the tester told me that made me think the test could easily go wrong. She said she was also 29% and then did it again a couple of months later and was 19%. She did not lose any weight and said the only difference was that she had been eating more protein. Now, this woman is in really good shape -she teaches Body Pump, CXWorks, and a boot camp class at the gym. But, she's also 57 years old and the only way to describe her body would be to say she's very "thick" (not as an insult, it's just that if you didn't know her, she looks like an average older woman) not what I think a woman with 19% body fat looks like.

I'm going to do the test again when I lose another 10 lbs just to see if it changes, but I'm not going to let the results determine how I feel. It's only $12 for me to do the bod pod so, it's not really waste of $, but I think looking in the mirror may give me about the same result.
Sorry, didn't mean to write a novel!

To the op, I think you look great, but I would have guessed anywhere from 22-25% for you.

I think you look very lean but not 'too shredded' (for my own tastes is all). Your abs are similar to mine, so I could use your avi as my fitspo picture, lol. I only wish I could get that lower part to look like yours!

But I am no good at guessing BF%, so I'm no help. I was tested at 115 LBM when I was lighter a few years ago (and 5'6" too), so I'd say your LBM sounds reasonable if you lift, though.

Bod pod was very inaccurate for me, luckily I got the opportunity to do hydrostatic weighing soon after that (about a month later) and my BF is 19.5%.
Just based from that, I would have guessed you are about 24-25. You look awesome though, and you should keep up the good work and not worry so much about the numbers.

I was hoping to be in maintenance and a 15% body fat would be maintenance worthy.... I don't want to keep up....lol I wanna be done, slight whining. Haha, darn bod pod getting my hopes up

How much do you lift? Do you have pics flexing? 15% is pretty hard to maintain.

Then be done! Are you happy with what you see in the mirror? Are you at a healthy weight and body percentage? Then you are done.
