    Ideal weight--- 15-17% BF depending on how it looks/what I feel best at.

    My end goal is 135 lbs because I thought it would be cool to cut my weight in half from my highest pregnancy weight. Realistically, I'll reassess based on how I look and feel at about 150-160 lbs.

    This is a good way of estimating your goal weight.

    I used to have a goal weight of 175 based on history (high school weight) but then I realized I would need to lose over 10 lbs of muscle to get there. I then changed it to 187 @ 6% body fat to maintain my current lean body mass.

    Also by BMI and weight standards, i am overweight (even now and I am 12% body fat)

    I picked the high end of "healthy weight for your height" on the BMI chart.
