I measure it using a handheld ultrasound device. Bodymetrix I think it's called.
I also have a DEXA scan done every 2 to 3 months. The bf % estimate from the scan comes in at a 2 or 3 points above the bodymetrix device estimate.

Thinking about it....this might be because my abs are somewhat more developed than before and tend to make the waist slightly bigger (maybe half to one inch) than would be the case if I did not work out.
Interesting. Those results are within a small range. Most other "do-it-at-home" measurement tools have a much larger deviation from DEXA scans.
The only downside is that some ET members don't cast reflections in a mirror.here is a fairly good and cheap device to use:
