Charlie is right, as per usual, so how about anyone that gets the chance, go to www.mybodycomp.com and fill in a profile. I just feel that actually writing down our weight is the first step, at least for me, because muscle or fat, I have a tendancy to "fool" myself into believing "I haven't gained an ounce" as my pants size increases, lol!
So, let's take an additional step and break out those tape measures and see what we come up with! I like mybodycomp as it allows you to use it as a "tool" and create additional profiles as you lose, so you can keep it and see your progress! I print mine out each time and keep it and it helps me see that even though the scale may say one thing, my body is saying another! It gives an approximate bodyfat% but I would, again, only use this as a "tool" giving you an idea as you progress.
So, if you really want a good idea, go there and then come on back here and post your comments as to what you think about the numbers, and remember - they are just numbers, and this is just a "tool" like the scale, like a tape measure, like everything, we need to focus individually on our bodies and not get discouraged by all the numbers, as Charlie said. Hey, when you feel good, you will feel good and that will be the bottom line!

Hello everyone, I am 250 lbs and I want to get down to about 170, I would be very happy, just got tired of beeing FAT, but I know I can do it. You guys can too, Amanda I know how ya feel, When I got over 200 I kept saying i have to loose this weight, and I walked everywhere I went, It seemed like it wouldn't help, but I know you can do it. Just keep it up, and don't give up.
