I'm having problems taking the caliper measurements. HELP!

My girlfriend and I seem to be having problems with the body fat caliper. *I know I did the formula right, but I got 27% for myself (in the obese category), and just above the obese marker for my girlfriend. *I am 6'5" 174lbs. *Have a little fat around the middle, but that certainly isn't right. *And this was the second reading--originally we were each a couple % higher. *We pulled the fat out further from the skin the 2nd time (til it hurt). *I realize at least I'll be able to measure progress, but am I the only one with this problem? * :huh
