Wow! I just got my bf% from the nurse here at work and it said 25% with the reasonable range being 14-23. I have 41.6 lbs of fat on my body! My BMI (whatever that might be) is 26.0 and my LBM is 139.6 lbs. This is bad!

On the bright side I'm a small framed person so I don't even look fat. Still the extra fat drives me crazy and I want to bulk up in the next couple months or so.

If you like the way you look, then don't focus so much on the numbers. Bodyfat is a tricky thing to measure, so it might not be as high as you think.

Concentrate on the compound movements (bench, squat, deadlift, bent over rows, military press, tricep extensions, barbell curls, etc), to add lean mass to your frame. Eat a high protein, moderate carb, low-moderate fat diet, with cardio 3 or 4 times a week.

You'll get to your goal.
