I've got myself some skinfold calipers and taken measurements from 4 sites to give me a fat of 19.9% which isn't bad I suppose but do I need to measure wrist or leg size to get a more accurate measurement?

Not very, they're OK and seeing the numbers go the right way thoughHow accurate can a set of (decent) bathroom scales measure body fat? I'm not particularly interested in a accurate reading at the minute. I'm only really interested in looking in the mirror and seeing my body fat get lower as I start a 8 week cut. Just I set up my scales yesterday to read body fat and it seemed a bit on the high when comparing my body to pics available on the Internet

what about your weights? Have they gone up?Further to my last post, I'm hoping someone can advise me further. Either I have a better impression of my body than is realistic or my scales are way, way out when it comes to measuring BF.
3 weeks ago I weighed 171lbs with 24% BF. I now weigh 164lbs with 22.4% BF. Whilst I'm happy that the lbs are dropping at my desired speed the BF isn't. Is there any correlation between lbs and BF %?
It is my intention to lose weight for 8 weeks before going into a calorie surplus and adding muscle. In 8 weeks I was hoping to lose 16lbs (which I am on course to do) to take me to pretty much bang on 11st.
The only reason I am getting hung up on BF % is because when reading up online there are people who recommend cutting down to 12% body fat or less before adding mass, mainly to keep a lean look at all times when bulking and cutting.
Going off my stats so far I can't see me being 12% BF at 11st and I don't particularly want to continue losing weight beyond the 8 weeks I've already set myself.
Soz for the long post
Slightly. Im keeping track of a few key lifts and they've all gone up. I'm not particularly concentrating on that during this 8 week diet though. This 8 weeks is purely to lose weight/body fat. I will be concentrating on getting stronger when I begin eating a calorie surplus.what about your weights? Have they gone up?
