You can order a body fat caliper off the internet, you then measure your skin in 3 area's and it gives you a average.

or you can go to wal mart and by a scale that also measures your body fat by sending a shot of electricity (no you will not feel it) up one foot and times how long it takes to reach your other foot.

Or call the university or hospital in your area and ask if they have a "bod pod", this will measure you by submerging you in water. I've never had this done as its costly where I am from but this is the most accurate way but I wouldn't worry about this one unless you are determined to set a near impossible goal and want to know exactly where you are at when you think you have reached it.


Neither are a perfect solution and I would say a caliper is far my accurate but I've used both and get a 3% difference so it will at least give you a idea of where you are at.

You could post a picture and someone might be able to eye ball it.
