I'm 19.5-21% body fat. You can see my pics on the picture gallery of my profile.
EDIT: And also on my ticker (the "after" shot)0 -

OK, let's see if this works. I don't have a current bikini shot, but I'll see if I can get one after my spray tan next week
Here are some belly dance pix. Last time I had my body fat and lean muscle mass electronically tested (at the chiro), my BF was 18 point something. However, I have since gained some weight, but since I am very active 6 days/week workouts, I'd estimate right now I'm still about 19%. This first pic was taken last year, about the time I was around 18%:
This one was taken recently, about 2 weeks ago, about 19%:
oops, these are huge. How do I make them smaller?
I just have to fan girl. ISIS WINGS?!?!?! OMG.0 -
This is after a soccer match! I'm somewhere between 17% and 20% - scale says 17.9%. I'm 5'7" and about 127 lbs (short legs, long torso and very banana shaped lol)0 -
Was told the same day I took this pic that I'm between 26 and 27%
I'm 5'8 and weigh 150.
You look much closer to 20% in this pic to me. (Arms/legs, abs) compared to other photos I've seen.0 -
I'm 28% according to the military body fat calculator online. I'm 5'7 and 153 lbs.
You need to take several different tests and take the average. You don't look NEARLY that high compared to other women online who've been tested at 28%. You appear to be in the 20-23% zone at the most, girl.0 -
I'm an example of skinny-fat.
23% body fat (via DEXA scan), 5'7" and 121 pounds. Eek, muscle, anyone?!
I do not see how there is any possible way unless you are hiding an overhang under that top, and I highly doubt it! LOL0 -
18.1 %, as of three or four weeks ago. ( 5'0", 109 lbs)

I don't think you can get a very comprehensive guide. Looking at that page you posted, the woman who's 25% body fat, looks nothing like me (26.4%). As most of my fat is on my thighs and bum. So I look much healthier.
Same, I am at 28 but I look like the 25% person because my tummy is pretty flat it is all in my *kitten* and thighs.0 -

I don't have a way to figure mine out.../equipment.
I remember learning how to use skinfold calipers...that was just embarrassing having your classmates pinch your arm fat0 -
Home Body Fat Test gives 23.8%, Military gives 26.9%, I'd guess closer to 30% based on the pictures I'm seeing here--nowhere near as fit as others in the 24-27% range!
5'7" and 159:

I'll have to do a caliper test, but as per the military calculator, my "before" was 46%, and my "during" is 34%.
