December 6, 200520 yr 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...
December 6, 200520 yr 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!
December 6, 200520 yr Author 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. Yeah... My overall goal by the end of next year is to stay around 8 to 8.5%... More hard work but it'll be worth it. :)

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.
December 6, 200520 yr How do you figure your % body fat? Do you have to spend money and go to a doctor or something??
December 6, 200520 yr Author How do you figure your % body fat? Do you have to spend money and go to a doctor or something?? We used some little device (can't remember what it was called :x ) in P.E. to find out.
December 7, 200520 yr 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.
December 8, 200520 yr 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?

What does this machine from P.E. look like? Little white thing with some metal where you hold it. Sends a "micropulse" through you and measures the time it takes to come back. Kind of interesting really...

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.
December 8, 200520 yr 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.
December 8, 200520 yr 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.

December 8, 200520 yr 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...

December 9, 200520 yr 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
