yes, Lou should probably recheck his math to see if he intends to start with 90 lbs lean (which means 25% BF) or with 30% BF. From the text, it seems like he intends the former, since he wants them to each gain 10% lean and calls that 9 lbs on the woman.
I think my point was more that you can change body composition w/out much of a scale change. So setting "lose 15 lbs" as a goal when you really want to "lose XX sizes" might be counterproductive if you don't see the scale moving and that is your only measure of progress.
