Question for Nat (or anyone else who has their body fat measured). Quite a few people post their body fat % in their stats. How are they measuring their body fat? I had mine done at the gym, and they used some sort of imaging device. They entered some data (my weight, etc.) into it and I held it in both hands in front of my body, and it calculated my body fat %. Do you know what type of device that was? Are they accurate? The reason I'm asking is that Avon has a new 'fitness' catalog, and one of the items they have available is a device to measure body fat that looks like a smaller version of the one at the gym. Would I be wasting my money (it's $25.00)? Avon does have a very good return policy, so if I tried theirs, then had my body fat measured at the gym again, compared the two readings, and the Avon one was not accurate, I could return it for a refund.

Any ideas? Is there a better way to measure my body fat at home? (The gym charges $10.00 to do it -- but the 1st time was free).
