Body Fat Percentage

[pegkerr]

If weight loss is one of your New Year's Resolutions, you might be interested in learning your body fat percentage with this quick and easy questionnaire.

My weight is definitely up, and mine turned out to be 27.8%. I'll work on that. Average American woman is 32%; they recommend 22% for a Caucasian woman.

I just did it - but fudged a little bit since I am wearing multiple layers of clothes and didn't feel like stripping down for the measurements - it's still January out here, and cold - so I did it as best I could by pulling up layers where possible or over them (and making an adjustment for that) and so I fully realise that the margin of error here is pretty humongous - but I came out at 25% body fat which isn't too bad. I might try it again at some point where I am actually closer to the core body shape in terms of clothes layers and see if I can't narrow it down...
