Check in:

BW: 163.5

BF hand held: 11.3
BF calipers: 5.8, total 18mm

Happy with the current results. Down a couple of pound over the past month plus, and droped BF by more than a percent. Again, I think each measurement is off, one being too high and the other too low, so taking the average is about right, 8.5 percent.
