If you post some pics here a lot of us would probably be able to estimate it also.

Calipers aren't a bad way to get a decent estimate of bodyfat. You could go get yourself hydrostatically weighed but it may not be too readily available and you need to be submerged in water while you blow every last ounce of air out of your lungs.

Interesting...
And I am not sure if my gym has anything like that, I almost dont think so.

the hydrostatic weighing: more than likely your gym doesn't do that (but there are other places that you can get that done- well i assume in canada you can) The best 100% way to tell is this x-ray thing that they can do (almost like a catscan) Someone else here probalby knows exactly what it is called but it is expensive. The bioelectrical impedince machine or calipers (if a reliable trained invidiudal doing it) are the cheapest, most available way (unless you take string_bean00's opinion and post your pics- they would really be able to give you an estimate within a few %) Not to mention the BEI machine is a 3% error either way depending on hydration and as I said, the calipers are as accurate as the person doing the pinching.
