    Help with bodyfat %

    I just did a body fat check today.
    This morning I used some calipers that I bought second had years ago. But the chart with it didn't go low enough for my totals so I have been basing my total on a pro rated type formula.
    This afternoon I bought a Accumeasure 2000 at GNC and used it and i come up with a 2 to 2.5 % diffrence in readings.
    Was wondering which reading you think is closer to right ?

    Accumeasure - 8% +-
    other calipers - 10 % +-

    Here's some links to pics to help with your opinion.

    Alrighty then . i guess they are more accurate then i thought. only thing is if i lose much more bodyfat the calipers will be useless. LOL
    Well if/when that happens i guess i will just have to cope. I guess I spent too many years over 20 % and I have a "I'm fat" mind set still.

    Thanks again for the input !
