Just got my body fat tested

[JKurz1]

This is the type I have, Mine doesnt have an activity level function though.

oh, those are complete trash.....

I'd bet it's closer than you'd like to think........however, it def. is off..........no more than 6-7%, first thing in the am, as soon as you get up.....


It is really good for weekly measurements.............up or down %

Well the 35-37% is first thing in the morning -- in the afternoon it registers much, much lower -- 11-15% lower.....

I think (personally) I'm around 20-24% bf.... And lots of people around here have seen my pics, don't know how you missed them....

And the ones you stand on only measure your lower body, not the entire body....

Here's my back at least.....

It's good to stack the sunday paper on.

I'm begginning to think your right, it went down 3 percent in a half an hour then 10 minutes later went back up it keeps doing this every time i weigh myself. At least the weight is correct.

What do you find is the most accurate means of testing BF%?

Hydrostatic, Not sure if thats the correct name. Then skinfold I would say.

I use my scale only to see my progress... In other words... what the scale says today is really not important, but the readings over a period of weeks should show a trend.

Just be sure you are consistent with the conditions in which you weight yourself...

Hey, Jkurz......... bought a set of digital bf calipers..... tried it out about 5 times or so..... got a range of 19.4% to 20.4% -- much better!! LOL
(the calipers give you a final reading after doing the pinches)

So, I don't know how accurate these are either......
