    I am 5'6" and weigh around 187. My body fat, done with calipers by a trainer/nutritionist/bodybuilder is 21.5% I lift weights and have a very "solid" build. Trying to get to about 18%. I honestly believe that it depends on your body composition. People always guess me weighing less than I do.
    Okay, no, WHAT? That's just insane. Are you a bodybuilder?? You have a lower BF% than me and weigh 55 lbs more than me. And I'm taller than you by an inch and a half!

    I see your thighs in your pic and they are very ripped, but seriously?? How is this even possible??

    Welp, I'm just going to duck out of this topic now. Half the chicks in this thread could smack my head right off my neck with one clean punch. These women are buff as hell, LOL!

    I am not one. However, I have been working with one since April. He is the one who measures me monthly. So, I am going to go by what he says, and after doing this for 25 years, I trust him.

    Is the right hand side of your profile picture current? If so, I would be very hesitant to believe you were 21% bf. As a figure competitor, I can tell you that most girls are stage ready, lean, vascular and ripped at approximately 15-18% bodyfat. I'm in my off season right now (in my pic) and am at around 20% I don't mean to insult you. That is not my intent. I just hate seeing other misled by numbers like this. It is discouraging to say the least. You look amazing and your transformation is inspiring! Great work!

    I apologize for misleading anyone. I was just letting you know what I've been told.

    Word, I'm not saying I don't believe you, and your pics look like you have low body fat... I'm just saying that's insane. You are extremely buff! I'm impressed.

    I'm 5'7.5", 132 lbs, and my BF% is about 23%. :-( That one chick who posted above, who weighs 160 and has 20% body fat, just blows my mind. But she's totally ripped so it makes sense. I would have to get down to 120 (or less) to be at 20%. I guess it's because my bones are smallish and I have basically no muscle.

    But for myself, I'm not interested in being muscular or having a women's weightlifting magazine physique... my aesthetic ideal is something like Scarlett Johannson in her prime. Trim but feminine with some thin padding. Guys seem to like that look a lot. I figured that's around 22% BF and is a sustainable shape/weight for me.

    Excuse me but Scarlett Johannson never left her prime, thank you very much.
    I can't disagree with that. She is a golden goddess. <3

    I'm 5' 5.5" 130lbs give or take and 16.4% BF according to http://www.scientificpsychic.com/fitness/diet.html - probably not the most accurate but this is what I have used consistently and I started off as around 26.63% BF at 143lbs.

    Trying to get to 14%

    at 5-8 that amount of remaining body fat is not going to be healthy for you. I would cap it around 22.

    My wife (in the pic) is 5' 6" and about 20%, weighing 118lbs. Since you add about 5lbs/in, that would be about 128lb for 5'8".

    I am 5'8" 128 pounds and 19.66 % BF

    I'm going to assume I'm in the mid-to-upper 20%. I'm 5'4", 134lbs. I'd like to be measured to know exactly what my bf is though.

    I'm a little over 5' 6" I was measured at the gym by a trainer using calipers. At the time I weighed 141 and was at 20% body fat

    Last time I measured (calipers) I was about 24% BF. I'm 5'8" and maintaining around 63/64 kg (140lb).

    ETA I'm 42. Body fat needs increase with age. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

    Yeah I've used calipers before which I thougt was the most accurate way, but it seems that there are other methods preferred these days..

    I'm 5"7" and I currently weigh 145. I got a bodpod test, which had me at 24%. If I can maintain my muscle (which I will!) I will be at 20% bf when I hit my goal weight of 135.

    how does one calculate that?

    if i weigh 140, and am at 24.3 body fat percentage, and get down to 118, and maintain muscle along the way despite weight loss, how much body fat would I be?

    (Goes to set up a proportion?)

    (Goes to set up a proportion?)

    Basic math.
    If you are at 24.3% BF at 140, then your LBM = (1-.243) * 140 = 105.98
    If you dropped to 118 and maintained your 105.98 LBM then your BF % would be (118 - 105.98)/118 = .1018 or about 10.2%

    That is an unhealthy BF % for a woman. Women need at least 10-12% body fat. Athletes are usually in the 14% to 20% range. It is also very hard to get down into that BF range. Not sure that is an achievable or desirable goal.

    I doubt it helps any, but I am 5'10, and at 140Ibs, at my lowest bodyfat, I was 12%.
    Checked by both trainer and agreed upon in the Eat Train Progress group, at the time.
