I just realized that I'm completely outrageous.

YOUR BODY IS 70% + LBS IN FRIGGIN WATER WEIGHT! It may change in it's distribution but is immaterial in the scheme of permanent weight loss. The overall percentage is within a few percentage points over a broad spectrum of body types ... excluding those at the extreme ends of the spectrum, of course.

And as far as your bone growth goes, I have something that I'd like you to consider in light of the excess of steroid use in pro sports. This is not intended to turn your attitude. Just a thought:

Many athlete who abuse steroids often have injuries involving their bones and connective tissue. Why is that? Because the muscle is growing at a rate that far excells any improvement in the bones, tendons and ligaments. I.E. bone growth does not even come close to muscle growth even in non-steroid development.

P.S. Even though I don't know what the hell you're going on about half the time, I find your viewpoint vital and refreshing. More about.
