Mcqueen Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Finally reached under 10% body fat (9.6% to be more exact) :D Hoping for at least 9% or lower in the next few months... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionheart_0 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 thats good and all... but dont go bellow 7%. you need atleast 7% to basicly live. The fat gives you energy and you really need it to protect organs. Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting! Behave or I will send my Moose mounted Beaver launchers at you!

More hard work but it'll be worth it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just work on actuly being fit (unless you are), and if not that, gaining weight in muscles. Just dont overdo it. Sig by IkuraiYour Guide to Posting!

I don't have much stamina but I'd rather build muscle rather than be able to run for 30 minutes easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape5 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 How do you figure your % body fat? Do you have to spend money and go to a doctor or something?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubsa Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 Oh that's cool. A bit out of the blue but nice to know! Good to see you happy over achieving your goals! :D This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruffy5389 Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 You can calculate it here: http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/bfb It gave me a negative number... :? Maybe I shouldn't have just guessed at all the measurements :lol: I'm sure my body fat is really low anyway, but it would be interesting to actually get it tested. What does this machine from P.E. look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Size 16 is in kids sizes, and isn't shown in inches like adult pants are. A size 16 jeans has a waist around 25-30 inches I'd estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Using your measurements of a 28 inches waist and weight of 158 pounds your body fat percentage is estimated to be 9.30 % using the U.S. Navy body fat formula, or 8.31 % using the formula developed by the YMCA.

Barihawk Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 30.20% Thats because I play sports and have wide hips :P. My goal for next semester is to run and lose 30 pounds, which will put me at my ideal weight for my body type of 180. I've stopped playing football, so I really need to slim down. That's really not a bad weight for a 20 year old. Aerobics ftw! My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simmias Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 I'm pretty fit. I don't have much stamina but I'd rather build muscle rather than be able to run for 30 minutes easily. rather be able to run for 30 mins or more than have muscles, kinda pointless having them if u cant even use em...

Boogityboo04 Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 131 pounds your body fat percentage is estimated to be 8.14 % using the U.S. Navy body fat formula, or 5.37 % :shock: using the formula developed by the YMCA. :shock: rotalsnarT laciffOSolving the confusion once and for all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
