30% bodyfat!
OMG... I seriously want to give up.
30% - I'm currently 134 lbs. and 5'2" I've got my first session with my trainer this upcoming monday. I'm going to clean up my eating habits which is actually forcing myself to eat MORE... I've never been higher than 19%... I was shocked to see them figure out 30% and they even had a 2nd trainer come in and she got the same reads as the first. It's so sad... I don't know what else to say.

Oh, what a bummer. Don't let the BF% get you down, turn those emotions around and there is your motivation and drive (which so many people lack). Stick with you diet and training, you can do it.

How did they measure you? The last picture I saw of you I would say that you wre no more than 20% TOPS. I am afraid that they may have you all freaked out for nothing...

Honestly, DG-
If you had your BF done by who ever trains you at your gym, I will guarantee those calculations are completely inflated. I had mine done right before I got pregnant by my trainer at Gold's ( I hired him for plyometric training) and he said I was at 28%. I knew it was BS, so I had sonis do my BF when I got home...Sure enough: 20%. Not good, but a lot of times the machines and such those trainers use are geared for the company. Basically to make you think you're fatter than you are so you keep coming back and paying them

dg - if you are working out every day there is NO WAY you are 30%. i too have seen some pics of you. i agree with red that they are definitely using this as a $$ tool. and don't believe for a second that you "are doing it all wrong". there is always room for improvement but im sure you have some idea what you are doing. my brother worked at a chain of gyms where they did use that to get the client to return....he even told me that they inflate the numbers - its just policy so the member will continue to spend $$$$$.

The ab pinch is only one pinch, so it's not going to inflate your number by some astronomical amount. So, their reading IMHO, is simply inflated for reasons I stated earlier.
As for their comments about a "skinny fat person", that is possible...just not to the degree they told you. The problem they may have seen is that you don't eat enough,which makes your BF higher with less muscle.

I have been eating more and better since last week... I seriously am going to try and eat more and not stop. I'm also meeting with a trainer today, but I am going to see what they say... I really wanted to talk to them about their ideas for different cardio workouts... that honestly might really help me. I also bought some of the tae-bo dvd's... I used to do those classes at the gym I went to and they were so popular, but now they dont even offer them, they must not have someone to teach them... everything is step.

good job on the progress...I'm pretty sure their numbers were off...more importantly, you need to take bf with a grain of salt, just like weight. Once you feel firmer, leaner and harder all over, you know you're making great progress, even if your bf isn't in the teens

Thanks... well, I do notice that my stomach is flatter and thinner around in general. My legs are thinner, I am actually able to fit into some of my old pants now. My arms are looking l little bit more muscular than just big... I'm getting some defininition back.
I can't believe i can fit into some of my old pants... I think mentally I had given up ever doing that again...

Whats important is that you keep generally healthy with regular (not obsessive) excercise for your cardio. And remember most guys would rather have a beyonce knowles than a calista flockheart(spell), any day. :nerdnew:
