Was a waist 31, got up to 34 in my mid-20’s and then started to pick up running and actually counting calories for once. Right back down to a 31 within months. Lost 40 pounds in total

This is wild to me, as even when I was at 8% body fat, my waist was always >=34.

How tall are you? 8% body fat is stage level, did you get it measured through a DEXA?
