    24 at the least. I'm 5'11'' and built big-framed so that still might be too little. But I haven't really decided, I would rather feel myself jiggle a little and have curves than be rock hard.

    agree!!
    and i LOVE that site that is linked on here... I am definitely changing to 18% body fat goal. I like curves :) and i don't wanna be manly ripped out haha

    lmao i love it!!
    also, when I scrolled down and saw the differnece between 15% at stick thin vs body builder I was like WOW!! it's crazy. but i think 18% is good too. 20% wasn't even bad either. but SUCH a difference fron 25 to 20.. it's crazy!

    I'm 16.3% right now, I'd like to get to the point where I see definition in the stomach as I don't at all now.

    I also want to have muscle under there, I don't believe 10-12% would just be skin over bones (think bodybuildings) they don't look ill or severly underweight because they have lots of muscle, although I don't want to get that low/ripped. I think 14/15% sounds good with muscle.

    My mini goal is lower 20's, but my ultimate goal is athletes level of 15%

    I think that my definition is better than the 20% guy in the picture, even though my BF is about 23% now. My goal is to get to 18% by September.

    Looking at the pictures I have set my ultimate target goal at 10% or less correctly. I am currently at about 22% fat, I was 35% fat when I started losing weight.

    Once I've got to my ultimate target weight I'm then planning on adding back 10 to 15 lbs of muscle, I'm building some now but not at the rate I can when I stop cutting calories.

    I want to get mine checked. I'm figuring it shoud be around 10-12% right now. I'm not sure how much lower I'd want to take it, but I am curious to see what it is.

    Hey all! I am at 22.4% this morning. Would like to be 19, 18-20 really!

    To be perfectly honest, I'm sure how much regular people (not professional athletes, models, etc) can expect to maintain a super low body fat. To me, going from being relatively unfit or overweight as many people on this sight are, to borderline essential fat is unrealistic. But hey, I'm not an expert. Good luck in your alls goals!

    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!! :)
