Body Fat Percentages

After Alexander’s post I got to wondering about body fat percentages and what is healthy.
There are several ways of measuring body fat such as calipers or a hydrostatic tank. I saw the latter on the Biggest Loser TV show. I used this Online Body Fat Percentage Calculator with the tape measurement method. First I was quite pleased to find out that I had lost one inch off my waist and one inch from my hips since I last recorded my measurements back in January! Then I entered the numbers online and see that my body fat percentage is 34% which is overweight. Regardless I am not letting this weigh me down (pardon the pun) and take joy in the fact that I am making progress!
