I have also had good results using a commercial grade Tanita Fat Analyzer at my local pharmacy. By weighing myself at the same time every day and measuring my impedance on the Tanita every month I have found a slow but consistent decline in body fat mass percentage. My last reading on the Tanita was 7.3%. This is consistent with my body shape (I now have an hourglass waist with my abdominal muscles clearly visible) and other fat measurements I have had taken in the past.

I also use the pant tightness test as well as taking waist/hip measurements from time to time. However, if my stomach is flat and well defined I consider this to be a good indication of my fat content. It is also common for people to comment that I am slim (in the waist). In summary, no single measurement is completely reliable. A number of indicators that are in agreement is more reliable.
