Hey Trish, This measurement is from an accumeasure caliper. This method is probably only a ballpark figure, because it is not the best method. It is, however, a good way to track week to week progress to see a trend. GNC stores sell these. You can do a google search for body fat measurement methods to get more in depth. Just remember that in the initial part of the lapband journey the normal focus is fat loss. This requires a calorie deficit - while building muscle requires a calorie surplus. Nonetheless, you'll improve your body fat % significantly by protecting the lean muscle tissue you have while burning off body fat. Good luck with your journey! Brad
