I tried the "test your body fat"-thingy and was told I have a body fat percentage of 48. Uh, yeah.... right... :rolleyes:

Wow - I am 56% body fat - I knew I shouldn't be eating so much chocolate.

I think the calculations are off just a smidge! Someone else measure and post a picture!

Here's a picture of me just so you don't think of me as 56% from here on out!

I like the target HR calculator. I guess people need help with 220 - their age and then multiplying by a percent. :rolleyes:

Are people really that lame?

PS My BF number was 32. Kinda doubtful.

I like your hair Flybye. And if that is what 56% looks like - sign me up on the chocolate diet. :p

Flybye you might have more weight with that gorgous hair of yours but I don't believe the calculations are correct. If so, I just popped a starbucks truffle in my mouth like 5 minutes ago..starting the chocolate diet as we speak..

Yep...present company excluded, of course;)

It's the perfect example of providing something that creates the illusion of value...at no cost.

Flybye, keep that hair out of the rope!

Hmm, the body fat calculator was pretty accurate for me. Maybe it only works for certain body types?

I find it unconscionable that one of the featured videos on the site was titled "How to Install Break Levers on a Bicycle Handlebar"

Oof.

Oof.

How about the informative video "How to deflate a bicycle tire"

Give me a brake;)

I guess Lance isn't monitoring content...

What B.S. To calculate bodyfat, you need a lot more than that. Even tactile calculations require calipers and a bunch of "ciphering" - I'm talking the 7 digit kind of ciphering. The chalk & sidewalk won't cut it.
