That caliper thing. He made me take my shirt off and put a gun under my chest and abs and thighs and then he made me take my trousers off and touch my ankles.

I think you've been had Hec.

Was he perspiring excessively or breathing heavily after you'd removed your trousers and touched your ankles?

My wife is happy when I aim for the toilet. I'm an underachiever.

Congrats on the BF reading Hec. Nice accomplishment. 10.8 is only dreamed of by many folks.

Do you remember what your body fat % was before you started? My goal is 10% body fat and I'm at 19% right now. I hope to achieve this by August 1st, 2005. Is that too lofty of a goal?

Also, can anyone give me an idea of what my ideal weight should be? I'm 23 years old, 6'3" and weigh 205lbs at the moment.

I don't think that it is too lofty of a goal. Watch what you eat, continue lifting and doing cardio and I believe that you will reach your goal. To be honest I have always been lean so I am sure that my bodyfat has ranged from anywhere between 10 - 17%.
