Caliper is my friend????? Who knew

So I decided since I started the calorie cycling today and doing the hit training that it would be a good idea to go get a caliper and see what my ACTUAL body fat is. I went to GNC and asked the guy working there if they had any....it was comical... "Hi, can I help you?" "Yes, I'm looking for a caliper" (puzzled look) "I don't think we have those.....What does it do?" (me, laughing) "Ya'know, it tests body fat." (him, looking at his boss) "Do we carry that?" (boss, looking puzzled) "What is it?" (me, laughing, getting ready to play charades) "You know, the evil little pinchy thing (holding up hands like scissors and pinching) they test fat." (boss) "Oh, yeah, it's equipment." (original guy) "Oh, I thought it was a supplement." So FINALLY he led me to the calipers....I was laughing inside....thinking that they BOTH must be new. I got home and decided to try it....even though it suggests waiting until you haven't been active or overheated...(I just HAD to and will do it at a better time tomorrow morning) I looked up the Jackson Pollock 3 point skinfold test www.weightrainer.net/skinfoldbf.html and decided to give it a shot....Trusting the hand held caliper more than a digital one and trusting 3 points vs. 1. I took the measurements, and it certainly didn't SEEM like the outcome would be great. I expected that it would be worse than SP's guesstimate. I was shocked and happy when I saw.... Estimated body fat :19% Estimated lean muscle mass :117 lbs (and I even put in my correct weight including my 10 lb. implants...I noticed when I took them out of the equation the answer was still the same except the lean muscle mass poundage. So now I am totally stoked....and will research this a bit more tomorrow (when the time is more appropriate for me to measure) and see how much I actually want to lose to set good goals for myself. Talk about a nice lift to my spirits
