Todd,

If I remember correctly, you've got a lean body mass of 180 lbs. and 18
percent body fat, which I interpret as you weigh 220 lbs. and would like to
weigh 200 lbs.  I really don't think that most people would consider 20
pounds overweight as "fat."  Indeed, from my perspective, that's downright
skinny :)  But to borrow from your post above, isn't 18 percent bodyfat "an
adequate body composition for someone like yourself?"

If you want to get beyond adequate, it might take a little more effort.
Me, I'm shooting for adequate and will be jumping for joy when I reach 18
percent.
