Oops, sorry. I liked that one because it has me lower than the Navy one.

LOL This one put me at 41%. I was expecting something in the mid to upper 30s so I think I will measure trends with this one for a while. Thanks for the link. Maybe someday they will be someone out here in the boonies that can measure bodyfat a reliable way! I'm not holding my breath!
53% does seem really high. The Navy one put me 10% higher than the other one. The second one is closer to my caliper readings.

Jane, that's the one where you sit in a little contained thing, right? How does it work?
