This past Saturday I weighed in at 171 lbs, one pound down. When I decided to train for amateur boxing my original goal weight was 174. When I approached 174 I revised the goal to 170, then more recently to 165. Beating goals makes me happy. 
It seems like exercise programs gain a head of steam and provide the greatest effort-to-benefit rations after you have been in them for about 3 weeks. This seems to be the case after I increased the intensity of my cardio.
