to be honest bro, you will get your best guess at it by posting pics and asking the guys/gals to guess the BFQuote:

I got one of those Body Fat scales (hey I was buying a new scale and my BF wanted one with body fat measurement even though i told him how inaccurate it was, but hey hes overweight and in denial about it so i though it would be good enough to show him that he really is overweight). Anyways, those things are WAY off. One day it will be within 1% then next thing you know it can be over 5% off... calipers are much more accurate, don't waste money on one of those scales.
Skinfold Calipers.
Find a price on a BodPod!!!
I bought one of these for 45 bucks, omron bodyfat analyzer
