It has very little to do with how much "weight" you lose, it's strictly how much fat you lose to drop bmi. You could lose 5 lbs and remain at the same bmi if all you lose is water and muscle. Dropping bmi takes a calculated and delibrate diet and exercise routine. If you are 142 lbs and are at 10 percent, then that means you have approx 14lbs of fat on your body. If your goal is to drop 3 points, then you simply figure out what 7 percent of 142 is....approx 10. So if you were to drop about 4 pounds of fat while keeping your overall weight at 142 you should find yourself at 7 percent.
