[Ke422azn]

your scale is 100% right.

[buffgrk]

im thinking 15ish, you look quite lean to me

[Ehudd]

i am confused getting 2 different reading here lol
I am hoping my scales are right, BUT i was 19% when i was 92kg and now i am 82kg.

[Replicator]

I think you're inclined to store the majority of your fat around your waist. Maybe that's what is screwing up the readings? Also, are you using an electronic BF measuring scale? Because those things are bull****.

[DAVEZILLA]

I say 16%

[Stefano99]

I think your scale is right

[Ric_Daddy]

I'd say about 16% but ye most of it is just stored on lower stomach. That's where all my fat stores too, really annoying.

[Ehudd]

with a good diet and 4km run plus workout everyday how long will it take to loose?

[dvbuilder]

Not sure, my 'cutting' is going to be supersets and dropdown sets...increased heart rate a bit..

**** cardio.

so lets do the math
.15 x 180= 27 (thats 27 lb bf)
180-27 = 153 (ur lean mass)
153*.08 = 12.24 (lb of fat u would have at 8% bf)
27-12.24 = 14.76lb fat to lose

if u lose a lb+ a week you should be at around 8-9% bf by 12-14 weeks... that is if its a lb a week

my suggestion:
do each number below. do #one only the first 3 weeks, then add two to that routine... 3 weeks later add #3... 3 weeks later add #4. That comes to 12 weeks of continuous fat burning

1) clean up the diet the first
2) start cutting cal to 200 below maintenence a day
3) cut carbs
4) add cardio

do in that order and u will see results... I would say 12 weeks to 10% or less bf if ur totally strict

[smith06]

i'd definitely say ur in the 15-20 range.

[vtx7]

Surprisingly your scale is pretty close, which is something they are not known for.

[Devils]

Hah, I guess you where right, I didn't see those pics before but now I see why it said around 17%. I wouldn't think it would be much more than that.

Do what the guy said 2 posts up, good advice. ^^^
