I'm currently 5'10.5", 180 lbs and 30% body fat. (Based on waist measurement AND one of those electronic handheld things). I want to get to 25%, if possible. What would I weigh to be at 25%? Best estimates are fine!

    You can get an idea from a calculator like this:

    Sine you asked for best estimates, you probably already know that no one's going to be able to give you a 100% accurate answer, but you can play around with that calculator and see what you come up with.

    180*0.7 = 126lbs lean body mass

    126lbs lean body mass/x lbs body mass =0.75 (% body fat)

    [solve for x]

    at 168lbs you would be 25% body fat :)
