Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I really like the advice I have gotten on this. Find one spot and pinch it every week. You want it to go down. I hear quotes about bf percentages on a lot of boards and quite frankly, I don't believe very many of them. Even if I pinch generously and add up a few millimeters, on the calculator below I come up 17% bf, and I know that isn't true. Sorry, but I obsessed over this whole thing for many weeks and I finally learned to trust the old " clothes O Meter " and I only quote myself as some range like " around 20% " which I get from the Accumeasure one site method. (Dang thing makes you add fat percentage as you age, makes a bunch of assumptions about all the fat in your muscles... grrr) Sounds like a lot of folks here have made some excellent progress by the " clothes O Meter " measurement.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 That's a much better way to gauge your body fat percentage. Go on the internet and try out a dozen calculators and you'll get a huge variety of results. I did this just for fun one day and had results from 6%-30%!!! I usually use three of the most popular and average them or just use the one-pinch on my calipers for reference without taking it very seriously. I don't believe my results either. My bf% is supposedly 15%, but I just don't look like other people do at that bf level. Diane <dmiller91@...> wrote: I really like the advice I have gotten on this.
