Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Funny how much BS the BMI is
Anyway, keep up the weights and LOTS of protein - but don't overkill the protein. Consult with a good doctor and excercise physiologist to find the amount that is right for your body.
A Quick reminder:
High protein intake requires a high H2O intake or you can damage your kidney's! At my weight, I take in a minimum of 1 gal water a day and more if needed under exercise! If your pee is DARK like German Beer or Black Coffee, you need to up the water.......fast!
