I found this site: http://www.free-online-calculator-use.com/military-body-fat-calculator.html#Neck which gives you instructions on measuring your body fat % the way the U.S. Navy does it.
My stats are:
Neck: 12.8"
Waist: 27.75"
Widest part of hips: 39.5"
Height: 65"
Plugging this information in gives me a body fat percentage of 27.6% which is far better than my Tanita scale which measures me at 34%!
I am still learning to use calipers, so decided to try this method first, then see what the calipers say.

Thoughts on a Treadmill
This is my treadmill stream of consciousness:
...Madonna is so awesome, the hair on the back of my neck is standing up watching this dvd concert....this thing better not reset again.....I wonder if anyone's checked me out at all since I have been working out..probably not there's far hotter girls in here, I'm the geeky girl in glasses and a tank top...but it would be nice to know my efforts are being noticed and appreciated....time for some Public Enemy!....this time going up to 10% grade....pant/pant/pant....decreasing grade...I am breathing so hard I wonder if anyone's thinking I am hyperventilating...time to bring it down and have some fun with Model Walking.....it's hard to walk in a straight line with your arms swinging side to side like models do, my inner quads are getting a nice workout and my abs feel good and tight doing this...I wonder if anyone else has fun like this on the treadmill....time to finish it up with Space Frog.....I see the mountain top! Follow Me!....I wonder if I'll actually someday be in a contest....that seems so unreal, but how cool would that be? .... I can get through this stress in my life.....I will be okay.
