150 lbs. I haven't been this light since the tail end of that 35-day water fast I did a couple years back. Obviously, I'm a lot leaner now than I was then. Navy tape test is putting me at 7% body fat (29 inch waist, 15 inch neck, 69 inch height) but I don't think that's quite right, I don't really look 7%, though it might just be that I have zero skin elasticity (I used to be morbidly obese and had surgery to remove loose skin). Some quick googling about the NTT's margin of error tells me that soldiers get pissed off about the NTT being too harsh, drastically overestimating their percentages, but even with full adherence to NTT protocol, I find it a bit on the generous side. It's not like I have an abnormally small waist, either, I just think these guys are angry that the tape test (which, keep in mind, can ruin their careers if the result is too poor) gives them higher percents than some other method with an equal or greater margin of error that gave them a lower percent.
