Won a fitness contest at my gym

Started beginning of March, ended last Saturday. Did tone where only % of body fat loss counted, went from 209 to 189 and 21% body fat to 14.4%, 31% of my total starting body fat. The 14.4 was probably a little high reading too, it's a electronic machine and has about 3% error range, today it read 12.8%.

Niicee! I wonder what my body fat % is, but I am too scared its like 50%!

 

EDIT: I just did a "self body % check" online. Not very sure how accurate it is, but it said I am 23% body fat with 60 pounds of fat, and 199 pounds of lean.

 

SoxFan, mind doing this 5-minute test for me to see how accurate this thing actually is?

EDIT2: I doubt that above test is right. I did 2 other ones on different sites, and they both show me at 34%, which I bet is more accurate for being 5'11, 260 lbs. I do, however, carry most of my weight in my stomach, which is did say can throw off the % a little higher. If I had to guess, I would say I am at about 30%.

I did the one you had listed and it put me at 13.9% which sounds in the neighborhood of being right.
