Food and water are your biggest weight. Without the proper food your body will shut down. I have spoken to many light weight hikers and most say they need to be in town every 2 or 3 days. Doesn't that change what all us thru hikers are out in the woods for??? Most hikers can make it for around a week with a 25 pound pack and be comfortable. This includes food, water, single wall tent, white gas stove and sleeping bag. To me that is the perfect weight.
