    Guess I need to eat more ice cream. Great story, Congrats on your success, you earned it.

    How can I determine what my LBM wt should be? I want to be careful to eat enough protein so as not to lose weight the wrong way.

    If you can estimate your BF% then it's (100% - BF%) x body weight. There are a couple of ways of estimating body fat% but the easiest/cheapest is to eyeball it. I did a write up here if it helps: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/830595-body-fat-estimation-methods

    I cannot edit, but as I am a show off:

    Deadlift, 280lb x1
    Squats: 210lb x3
    Bench: 135lb x1
    OHP (strict) 95lb x2 (cannot get 100lb and its annoying me!)

    And thank you.
