data weigh-in; measure-in - new body fat calculator site

A new and interesting body fat site is here: http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/bfb.

It uses the Navy and YMCA method of measuring body fat. For me, I came up 32.75% (Navy) and 26.85% YMCA. By calipers I came in at 25.891%.

data:

N: 16.50
B: 14.25
C: 47.00
UW: 45.00
LW: 41.25
H: 43.50
T: 24.00
P: 10, 15, 20, 19, 15 -- left with: 15, 19, 15
S: 54, 57, 56, 56, 53 -- left with: 54, 56, 56
T: 15, 14, 12, 15, 16 -- left with: 15, 14, 15

New data

A story or two.

I think I've conquered my immediate term financial issues. Thus, I think I can easily and happily compete all season long in triathlons. In fact, I've now committed to pushing the envelope and going for a half-ironman at the end of the season. However, that enthusiasm may ultimately need to be tempered due to new career demands in my newfound profession (lots of trials!).

Data:

P: 24, 22, 17, 21, 25; I kept: 22, 21, 25
S: 54, 53, 51, 53, 47; I kept: 53, 51, 53
T: 14, 9, 9, 11, 11; I kept: 9, 11, 11

Ultimately this works out to 25.522% body fat according to the calipers.

Also, I had the following body measurements:

Neck: 16.75
biceps: 14.00
c: 47.50
upper waist: 46.50
lower waist: 42.50
Hips: 44.00
Thigh: 43.50



I had a really hard time grabbing the thigh measurements for body fat. I did the best I could though. . .
