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.

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.
