As for weight differences, it’s body types. I am (and was in high school) one of those stringy folks :) In a perfect world I’d like to get to about 170-175 at 8-10% body fat, but for now I’m shooting for get

One amusing thing from your post (for me personally). “I had allowed myself to get out of the habit of caring for my body. Upon arrival in New York City I weighed about 188 pounds (I’m 5′11″) … I didn’t like looking at myself”. I’m the same height as you and my “goal weight” is 195 pounds.

That’s not to say that 195 pounds is an ideal weight for someone 5’11″ but it’s also a lot better than 208 or 235. So I guess it’s all relative and depends on your goals and what you consider “good enough”.
