My biggest was I'm guessing 280+lbs back in 2019 when I started losing weight. Gained some back in 2020 and 2021. Consistently been losing since August of last year from 278 to currently 233lbs as of Monday. This is the smallest I've been in a while. 45 pound weight loss, slow and steady. I need some help with figuring out my body fat percentage. I know from experience to always add a few percentages when calculating but I'm not sure if my eyes match up with the stats sometimes. Calculations all keep coming up to 21% Do I look it? If not what do you think? I look different some days but my pics are on my gallery. My stats are...
5ft10
17in neck
38in waist
233lbs
I think I might be 25% maybe but don't know.

Newbie gains
Hi all, I have been lifting weights, doing cardio and eating better.
This is my 3 months progress picture. When I started I was at 223lbs. So 40lb weight loss.
I am 5'8"
33yrs old
183lbs
Whats my fat percentage? My guess 14-15%, but damn I am heavy for only 5'8" tall. BMI says I am overweight and 27.8.Last edited by roktoy; 05-15-2023 at 11:18 AM.

You're well above 20% to the point it doesn't matter.
Unless your goal is to get into sumo wrestling or become an offensive linesman, you should cut.

Curious where everyone thinks I'm at. This was a week ago at the end of a lean bulk - 6'1" and 182lb.
I reckon I'm about 20%, maybe a little under. Love handles are there and abs are gone, but my upper torso, arms and legs are still pretty lean.https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=181179323&p=1658333353#post1658333353

Thanks mate - I don't really know as I haven't been that light for a while. I took my profile pic in late '21 at 166-167lb and my lower abs hadn't come in yet and certainly no ab veins (I have literally never seen a vein in my abs, not even in my early 20s when I got down to 148lb). On the other hand, my arms always stay so lean that I've never lost my bicep veins, even when I was 24% or so.

Will update in a month or two for a follow up on progress. Thanks!
Edit, I bought some bodybuilding signature pre workout on a recent sale, oh my god the flavor is awful. Regret.
My little bs scale at home says I’m 155lbs and 18.3% body fat, it has those 2 little sensors. I know they aren’t that accurate will also look to see those numbers go down too.Last edited by FreedomPenguin; 06-29-2023 at 07:26 AM.

Looking to reach 15% bf
Hello everyone.
Abdullah - 26 y/o - 5 ft 10 - 202 lbs (in pic)
I started my cut on July 1st, by consuming 2500 calories each day and having between 180-190 grams of protein. I started with 30 mins of cardio a day nothing crazy just a simple walk, and I'm gradually increasing it as the weeks go by not for weight loss purposes only but I find myself enjoying it. I intermit fast (16:8) and lift 4-5 times a week and move around on my off days to stay active. I break my fast after my workouts and do my cardio after my work shift. So far I have lost 13lbs which mostly looks like water weight as I dropped 7lbs after only one week.
Anyways, I would like to know my bodyfat percentage from the starting weight and what weight should I aim for to reach 15%. I'm hoping I can accomplish that within the end of this year and reassess next year to reach an even lower bodyfat percentage.
