I have been losing weight my whole life with my heaviest being 360 lbs. I lost 19 lbs in 2 weeks. And even after losing most of my weight on a basic starvation diet and knee crippling exercise I knew this was the answer. I have never been below 25% BF. I have never looked as healthy as I do. I have never had the confidence that I have now. I have never felt as good as I feel.

Since losing my weight, I have more confidence. I am more physically active, and I'm not afraid to take on physical challenges. For example, I have run 10Ks, learned how to snow-ski, and recently participated in a mud run. Losing the weight has also given me the strength to do something I never thought I would be qualified for, and that is teach a self-esteem class for a nonprofit organization.

The old-fashioned way:
Look at yourself in a mirror, and if you can pinch more than an inch, you're FAT.
But...it depends on how you see it. If you're still healthy and active, but a little overweight...?
I wouldn't panic.
Just reduce the amount of food your consuming by a third every day and exercise just a bit more to amp your metabolism. (Walking's good.)

I'm Anthony. I lost 75 pounds and shed my high school nickname Pudgy. Our family has a tragic history of cardiac disease and rheumatoid arthritis. I am proud to say that family tradition ends with me. I know I have broken the cycle and will never have to be faced with those illnesses. Thank, you have changed my life.

Take off your pants and have someone slap your butt. The time it takes for the jiggling to stop is your measure of fat. This also works on the back of your thigh.

The most accurate and cost effective way is to see how you look in the mirror. If you can see your abs, and have good vascularity . ie veins in your biceps, and you can pinch about less than one cm of skin, then you can be pretty sure your bodyfat will be in the 8 - 10% region.

height weight charts are misleading
bmi can be misleading for folks who weight more due to bulked up muscles
girth is interesting, tell me more
hydrostatic should be most accurate assessment of fat percentage

Hydorstatic wighing is the best one.
