BMI vs. Body Fat %

I know most people measure their BMI but what about body fat percent? While my BMI is 25.9 my body fat percent is 30%. I have about 15 pounds to loose to be at goal but I am concerned about my fat percent. Is this something anyone else is concerned with and if so please share what you know. I know exercise will help lower the fat percent and I have been doing that. Thanks, Chryssie

Hi, Chrissy! Yes, I too have noticed a difference between the two. My BMI is about 27, but the BF measurement on my scale varies between 30 and 31.7%. And that percentage can change even within one day, so I am not letting it get to me. I figure that there are still alot of fat cells hiding in all that loose skin, and while exercise will help build muscle and shrink the fat cells, it may be a while longer before I can get the BF number to where I'd like it to be.
