Hi ....

Does anyone here use their BF% as goal rather than the scale. I am considering doing this in place of the scale. My first trouble is figuring out my BF%-I get so many different wacket out ones! And the Eades kinda confused me :o .

Thanks in advance!

Nat uses her body fat % as a goal and she is a great source for advice. I had mine measured once at my gym, and it was free that time, but now it's $10.00. I have tried to use the calculators that use weight and measurements, but I get such a wide variety of answers that I don't know how reliable they are.

If you do a search, you should be able to find Nat's thread from a while ago about calculating body fat %.
