Body Fat: "Using your measurements of a 31 inches waist and weight of 155 pounds your body fat percentage is estimated to be 12.07 % using the U.S. Navy body fat formula, or 11.30 % using the formula developed by the YMCA."
Not so differnt from the 13% that my Tanita scale reports. So, my goal weight of 145 lbs may be possible. Would really like to be tested hydrostatically to really know what's possible.

Assuming 12.5% Body fat right now, your total weight from fat is 19.375 lbs
155*0.125=19.375
If you lose 10 pounds of fat, you will have 9.375/145 = 6.5% body fat. Your goal weight should be completely possible. A lot of top endurance athletes are in the 5-6% range.
For me, hydrostatic weighing actually gives a higher body fat reading than the Tanita by about 2-3% on non-athlete mode, and by about 10% on athlete mode.
