A little on the high side, but hey we average people are becoming the skinny people as the world becomes obese.

You didn't say how tall you are or how much you weigh. One of the trainers at the gym I go to is 5'8" 135lb with 18.5% and she looks good. For women, as high as 23% in within range.
So if your her size your good.

DONT LISTEN TO "Luke M" He doesnt know what hes talking about!! 10% Its practically imposible for a girl to have that little body fat
Your fine, 19% below average a good % if you want to loose more weight thats fine to though

Luke M if your looking at this your an IDIOT!! stop giving people bad advice!!

For a man 15-18% and for a woman 20-25% is healthy
