[heidilw]

As I am getting close to my goal weight, and saw a few people refer to their bodyfat percentage...I went to calculate mine at


I am 5'4" and weigh 129, and says that my bodyfat percentage is 31% and it says that I am "overfat".

What should bodyfat % be? and would you trust the online calculators?
