    I've just checked mine and it comes out at 23%.
    I'd like this to be 5% lower but I got myself a little confused with how much weight I would need to lose to achieve this so I'd really appreciate any help with setting a goal.
    My stats are;

    Age; 44
    Sex; Female

    Height; 5' 4"
    Weight; 99lb

    Chest; 33"
    Waist; 23"
    Hip; 30"
    Wrist; 6"
    Forearm; 9"


    What would be my desired weight to achieve 18% BF?

    With these stats, the military calculator puts you around 8% BF. There is no way you are anywhere near 23%,
    At 5'4", your LBM is around 90 lbs. 99 total body weight would be 10% at the most.

    I have no idea. Don't get me wrong... I've had some tests, done some calculations... but I still have no idea.

    I had a fitness assessment today and the PT's Omron scale with the hand bits had me at 41.2%. Various measurement-based calculators range from 25% (I call BS) and 36.7% (I think that's probably more accurate, though probably still not actually accurate).

    I think I'd like to be between 25% and 30%. Great though low BF% is on other people, I don't have a particularly low goal.

    26.13 if the calculator I used is correct. I definitely want to be under %25 and probably around %20.
