    Goal for me would be around 20%, 18% would be okay but is probably too low for me. Currently I'm around 23% at goal weight of 125 and I'm 5'4.

    Goal: 7-10%
    Currently: 13%ish

    Can see abs when I flex, especially in certain light. Oh well, suppose I'll just have to see what happens.

    Here are some good examples for men and women what different BF% look like, and also a comparison with same BF% but more vs. less lean mass. May help you decide a goal. http://www.leighpeele.com/body-fat-pictures-and-percentages

    18% looks good to me, according to that website. :)
    I was at 19% a couple years ago, but I think I'm probably 1-2% more now. Working on it though!! :)
