Yeah, I have no idea what it is! I don't really care that much, I just like watching the number go down from my point of reference (when I started exercising in January, it was 34.5%). I figure I'm probably around 25% body fat or so. Maybe +/- 2%. If Leah is 22%, I figure I'm a bit higher than her - she's leaner than I am.

Thanks for the positive comments - I should have clarified in my post that i know the number's likely off.

On another positive note, I ordered a summer cardigan online in a size M (from ann taylor loft) and when I got it, I was swimming in it. So I guess I know to order a size S from now on... which seems so weird to me. My brain says I'M TOO BIG TO BE A SMALL.... and VANITY SIZING IS OUT OF CONTROL! I tried on a M cardigan at Target yesterday & it was also too big.

It's nice to fit into an S but let's be realistic here... I can't possibly be a size S at 5'6" and 146 pounds. What on earth do people who are 5'4" and 120 pounds wear?!!
