I know it's probably inaccurate as hell but according to the fancy blood pressure/weight/body fat%/magic machine in the building where I work I had 7.5% body fat ^.^

Those fancy health monitor machines are useless for body fat. They have one at a gym I go to. It does give a consistently inaccurate reading of 6% below my actual body fat though.

Yea, I know. I just wanted to semi-brag : p I'm 5'5 and weighed in 129 on the machine. I'm a bit thinner than that sounds too since I exercise a decent amount (only because I'm required to by law).

Electrical impedance body fat thingy tells me I have 8% body fat. Which is bullshit, cause I'm 5'8" and 158lb, i'd be cut as hell if that were true. :(

We have one of those body scanning scales, not sure if it's accurate but it says I'm at 18% which I believe is probably pretty close.

You're ripped. And why are you required to by law? (CO or cop or something?)

I don't know which one is the most accurate because they all give me different answers.

I'm not ripped (I just barely have abs right now (I was wasn't trying to get them)). I'm just very light weight with a small amount of muscle. I'm in the air force so I have to PT although my knees are gimping out on me lately so I might be losing some muscle : (

I found those body fat things to be pretty accurate. When calculating it the other ways. I came to the same numbers as the machine did.

But your probably right...they may not work sometimes.
