    Going by these pictures, I'd prefer to be around 18%-20%. Realistically probably around 20%-22%.

    14% is my favourite look of those shown - I'm about 16 or 17% at the moment I think and I'm not really too bothered if I get down to my personal goal of 15% or not, BF reduction is a long way down my list of priorities these days.

    Not really a fan of the very lean look TBH. (That's probably an old-fashioned opinion!)

    Am I the only one who thinks the 25% woman looks way better than the 25% man? It seems a bit off. I would love to have the 20% one.

    I'm currently at 38%. The 20% one looks a bit too thin for my body type and 25% looks more plump. I would probably like to look somewhere in between those two, 23% perhaps? I have a pretty wide and pelvis so with a bit but not too much fat I would look nicely curvey which is my preference.

    My favorite by far is the 25% woman......I wouldn't want to be thinner than that.

    20% looks like a healthy sexy human being to me. IMHO all those weird blobs of muscle under the skin in the lower %'s are as gross as cellulite to look at. Icky!

    Right now I feel like I look like about the 25% picture, but I'd love to look like the 18% one!!
    :love:

    Not sure what my percentage is right now exact though, just estimating.

    Between 20% and 25%. 23% would probably be good. I am at roughly 26% now.

    As a guy, I would be happy with 14/ 15% if the images I see on the web are anyway representative. Getting down to 10/ 12% would be nice, if only to experience what its like to look like a Calvin Klein underwear model at least once, lol. I imagine its hard enough work to get down to and maintain 14% as a guy/ 18% as a woman, with anything lower becoming bloody hard, lol.

    I'm around 20% right now at 184lbs, and imagine I've another 14/ 15lbs to go before I know what something around 15% looks like, but I'm look forward to it, and once I can look in the mirror without seeing visible excesses of fat I will be happy. I think at that point, if I want to kick on, I will worry more about body fat % :)

    Oh, and as a guy, the 18- 20% woman looks best to me :)

    I am currently over 30%, and I would love to look like the 18-20% pictures.

    I wouldn't like to be as athletic-looking as the 20% pictures..... going by the photos, I think I'd like to be around the 23-24% mark.


    I'm not sure where I come on the scale right now, though. I used one of those body-fat analysis machines a few weeks back that came out as 38%.... but my measurements the following day showed me as just under 27% using an online calculator so while I'd love an accurate analysis I don't really put much store by it. It's hard to visualise how you compare, anyway.

    I would think I am probably the 18%. I would like to be the 15% but I don't want that much obvious muscle !
