Sharing a resource

I could not write skinfolds in the title :) One of my goals over the next six months is to lose a little weight in a healthy, sustainable way. I have a Garmin scale that tracks weight and estimates metrics like body fat percentage, and while I know the absolute numbers can be off (often by a few percentage points), I still find it useful for tracking trends over time. I noticed Hexis has a data page for skinfold measurements, which made me wonder whether you can reasonably do this yourself. It turns out you can. Apparently, it is quite doable with calipers once you learn the basics. Anyway, I came across a helpful article about skinfold calipers with some recommendations, and thought I would share it in case anyone else is curious.
