Try this  (http://www.healthcentral.com/cholesterol/home-body-fat-test-2774-143.html) online calculator.

Mind you - there are different formulas in use so if I were you I'd try some different ones, e.g. DMI calculator (http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/). Google online body fat calculator and I'm sure you'll come up with a few more.

Hope that helps  [:)]

Oh I've done my bmi before. It says I'm underweight. Haha. Or was that when I was 120? Oh I'll check that out again. Thank you again.
