Thanks, Tom, Chris, and Huy!

After the 24 lbs my secondary goal is 31.6 lbs, netting me 10% total body weight reduction. I just need to lose about another 1.5 lbs to get there, so I'm unsure whether my next yoL should be more weight loss, muscle gain, or something else. I am trying to gain muscle now, rather than just losing weight.

I started with incline push-ups on my knees until failure and can now do 3 sets of 5-6 declines along with several sets of inclines, etc. I'd like to define my triceps and bulk up my chest. I have been consuming more protein now that I want to gain actual muscle. Although I haven't been neglecting my legs, I have been neglecting my back, abs, and cardio. I think I will be working abs into my off days, and need to start that cardio, but I'm pretty much in the dark on what to do with my back, other than maybe some shrugs, etc.
