Every time I've used a body fat calculator chart I have a very different number. PP -- it's 62% (Yes. It's true.) My old awful unreliable cranky Tanita scale would be anywhere from 50 to 56%.

But one of Nat's charts (the YMCA one) says I'm at 38% I like that one. The other one (I've blanked on the name) is....50%

I thought I liked the YMCA one, but on that, if I lose 70 pounds AND 10 inches off my waist (a year's work), I'd only be at 32%. Granted, that's off the Near Death list, but still....

(No, I'm not ready for BFL, really. Not until I can walk up all six flights of stairs without keeling over. But I do have a 10-minute work out book and 3 pound little free weights...baby steps, baby steps.)

The question is -- which method have you all found the most reliable?
