Lean body mass is your weight minus the weight of your fat. In other words it is the weight of all the good parts of your body which is mostly bone, muscle and water. Your ideal weight is the lean body mass plus some healthy amount of fat.

This thread has alot of info about it.
There's also a link to a calculator in there. I need to go back and get it myself. I thought I'd added it to my favorites, but didn't see it.
