It just goes to show how skewed our perceptions are ... "normal" bodyfat percentage is 22-25%!!

Body Type Female Male
Athlete <17% <10%
Lean 17-22% 10-15%
Normal 22-25% 15-18%
Above Average 25-29% 18-20%
Overfat 29-35% 20-25%
Obese 35+% 25+%


But I agree, Jane ... you look lower than that to me ... but ultimately bodyfat percentage doesn't matter. What matters ultimately is that you are happy with what you see in the mirror!!
