in Health and Weight Loss
I was very nervous- But it was 26% which is acceptable but not good enough for what I am trying to do to my body- I would like to get it to 15-16% body fat.

My advice for women is don't be afraid to hit the weights and I am not talking about 5-15lbs hit them hard you aren't going to get big and bulky-

I weigh 173 and I have a lower fat percentage than women that weigh less than me by 40lbs there is a such thing as being SKINNY-FAT!

I have alot of muscle I am not one of those women that can get down to 130-140lbs and if I do I would look a hot mess and people would chase me with food begging me to eat lol--

I will continue to work on decreasing my fat percentage.

I haven't loss any weight in 8 weeks- but I will be getting my fat percentage taken again in 4-6 weeks.

Good luck everyone

    My coworkers and her friend do figure competitions and her gym body is actually a Pro Figure competitor and also a personal trainer and she has calipers. and yes the ones online aren't accurate

    The only accurate ways to check fat percentage is to get pinched or to be submerged in water (which is actually the most accurate)-

    I am in the acceptable range "BUT" I promised my coworker I would train for a competition so thats why I need it decreased more. Plus least amount of body fat is more defined muscles and a tight body
