    Ha. I'm really not. I have a freakishly low amount of muscle for someone my age/size. It's actually very sad. My arms are like twigs.

    My boyfriend is 5'10" and 205 lbs but only 21% bf. He doesn't work out or eat healthy, so I imagine yours is considerably lower than that.

    Hmm I have a feeling that my bf reading could have been a bit of an overestimate, someone at the gym did it for me and I'm not entirely sure how she came to her conclusion. I think I will go to a doctor and get it done. I'm nowhere near obese but I am definitely overweight - british clothes size 12-14 (sometimes a 16 if it's jeans)... hmmm.. although I do think I have a small frame so it would make sense for me to have a bigger body fat percentage than someone who might consider themselves to be big boned or large framed.

    I'm somewhere between 21%-25%. Different formulas give me slightly different answers based on my measurements. I have a hunch I'm closer to 25% though, since I have a small frame. I'd like to be around 20% eventually.

    Oh, hmm. Apparently, you all may be right. I tried out my scale (which of course, is inaccurate) by it says about 19.5%. Who knew?

    You'd be a giant wet noodle if you were 5'10" and 180 and 39% body fat. <20% is good.

    There is a medical term called Normal Weight Metabolically Obese (NWMO). That is when one has a normal "BMI" but their body fat percentage is in to obesity range, so I'm not sure if weight and height, and hip to waist measurements are always good indicators of one's body fat percentage. .

    They aren't really. That's why the online calculators are so off.

    I think what you're describing is commonly referred to as "skinny fat" namely someone with a healthy or low BMI and high BF%.

    I don't know for sure, but probably under 15%.

    Based on your profile pic, you're roughly 9%.

    Oh thanks :)
    I would find out accurately, but I don't the measuring tapes to measure my neck/waist/etc
