I had my bodyfat done two weeks ago at the gym and according to this site I dropped 2 % since then. I know that I have lost a pound and half in the last two weeks, So I think I can believe this one. -------------- I will lift my own weight someday!!!!!

That one came up with over 38% when the caliper one was 28% and the one here at ft was 27%. I have to say the idea of 38 is really scary. It also said my RMR was 1578 when I just used the one from a post on here yesterday and came up with 2738. -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Some things have to be believed to be seen!

Make sure you take the measurements exactly where specified in the instructions. As for having an RMR of 2738 -- that sounds way too high. Your RMR is your resting rate, before you even move an inch. For a lifetstyle of "light activity" you would multiply this by 1.55, meaning you would burn over 4200 cals per day. Unless you are 8 feet tall this is not correct. 1578 is sounds a lot more realistic

asimmer Posts: 8,201 Joined: 2003/01/07	2003/07/15, 02:43 PM I got a strange reading, also, azredhead. I have very small ankles and wrists, but a very wide and thick back/chest, so maybe that is why it seems so of for me. I am considering enetering my measurements as a male and seeing how that affects it. -------------- Challenge + Consistency = Results
