Hey aerotigergirl did you have to go to a doctor to get that done? or did they do that at a fitness center or a gym? Oh and Im confused about that whole use your index and thumb to determine your frame size cuz some places I've seen said middle finger,,, which is it?

Your index is your pointer finger right? LOL, there's like a full inch between my finger and thumb, I knew I had a larger frame but sheesh!

Well first I went to this site:
http://inch-aweigh.com/calc_body_fat.htm and used my measurements to calculate body fat

It said my lean body weight is: 125 lbs
Ideal body fat for women is 21%-24%

So I added 22% of 125 lbs which makes my goal 152.5

Jackyl --- I had it done at a doctor's office, and I had a second one done with a personal trainer at a gym. I haven't ever had a dunk test done, but I've had the biometric impedance and the skin fold calipers done many times. My goal weight is based upon the most recent results of both of those two tests.

I thought 130 was a 'reasonable' goal for someone my 'age'. I knew nothing about lean body mass or fat vs muscle loss. I didn't like it much at 130 so downward we go!
