It's a start - but I'm getting a set of bodyfat calipers myself.

I made an account and I'm blown away by my body fat percentage. Now my home scale says I'm 170, but usually when I goto the doctor's it's a little more, so I did 170 and 180 pounds, and I'm still shocked. For 180 I have 7.78% and for 170 I have 8.78%. I wasn't really sure what was gonna come up since I never did one of these. Thanks for the link, and even more boost of motivation.

Once I'm up to it, I'm just going to post a picture up and let everyone guess. I figure there are enough experienced people on this board that it's prolly more accurate than anything else I can do.

I read somewhere that a visual estimate by an experienced observer is as good or better than most measurement techniques. Post away!
