189-191 is where I am now (depends on the scale used.) My main goal is to be 170 or so, that'd put me at 8-10% bodyfat instead of 17 now. I'd be happy at 180, though. I don't like being hyooooge. Last winter I was like 200-205, bleh. I did gain 10lbs lean mass from when I initially lost weight. When I initially dropped weight, I was probably 17% bodyfat at 180lbs, going from a fat 210-215lbs, so now I'm 190 currently. 170 would be good, as if I decide to pursue lifting, I'd be right at the edge of the 77K weight class, that and I wanna look like the Chinese Olympic lifter Lu Xiaojun. That'd be my ideal physique. I've changed my diet up a lot, I eat a lot more complex carbs now and less meat and fat, and it's helping me lean out gradually. For some reason, I still get bloated with pasta and bread, but like, oats and rice is fine. _________________ But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished.

Well, you should check if that's realistic. Like for me, when I started skating I was 210 or 215, and got down to 180 at around the same bodyfat as now, maybe more, maybe less. So my total lean mass back then, ie, zero bodyfat at all, would be like 145 or something. I have friends I envied for their skinniness that were my height (5'9) at like 130lbs and stuff, and I wished I was their size. Now I know it was never realistic for me to even think about being that skinny. Now due to lifting, my lean mass is 157lbs. This sorta makes me feel weird, as unlike most guys I never really wanted to be "hyoooge" and "swole" and bulky and stuff, I always wanted to be like skinny and agile. Now I know that's not in the cards.

BMI is another thing that sorta messed with me, too. Now, I'd be "overweight" at like 10% bodyfat according to BMI. So basically, get your bodyfat level checked, and see what it is, and for a girl, go for like 20%, so lean mass X 1.2, and that should be the weight you aim for.

8-10% body is pretty hard!! You would be shredded! Body builders in competitions have around 4-7% body fat. I'm around 14-15% at 207 pounds, 5'11'' tall, with a 32 inch waist. Which is above average. I was down to about 10-11% when I was boxing. I was pretty damn cut up too. Your goal of 8% might be unrealistic, depending on how hard your wiling to work. 10% is def achievable if you work your ass off though! I have a pic of me at 10-11% body fat if you want to see. I was at the point where i was working out 6 days a week. Sparring 20 3 minutes rounds with 30 second rests on a daily basis. With the sickest diet! On top of crazy amounts of exercise stacking, pyramiding, super setting. Running 7+ miles a day. You could cut the work in half though and just take steroids lol
