Finally got my body fat officially tested this weekend in the Bod Pod. It's suppose to be the most accurate method to date (same as under-water testing) but uses air instead of water. More info here: http://www.bodpod.com/
It said I was 11.8% body fat (+/- 1% error) at 132 lbs. I've attached the test prinout, as well as some new photos.
For $60 I got one test now and another in 8 weeks. I'd recommend it to anyone as it was easy and convenient.

lol i've got a little bit of fat left on the chest and lower stomach, but she said if i lose 4-5lbs it'll get me to >9%. my Tanita scale at home is only ~1% off (says im 13%) so i think ill just stick with that after my second test.
it was kind of cool knowing how much lbm to fat mass i had going on though. thought i would actually test 16%.

I'm not shocked really you look around 10% ish I can still see fatty areas chest,lower abs and your not huge, not hating you look decent I dont think most people look good at very low digits 8-10% look good.
I still think the calipers are a better method the bodpod you need to push all the air out of your body you can and still has room for errors.

I am curious if you have tested against a pair of calipers (especially on a superallic measurement) and what they said in comparison.
There is no spoon.
