Melanie, congrats on taking the next step

At 178 w/ 32% BF you have approx. 57 lbs of fat and 121 lbs of lean mass; at 164 w/ 25% BF you'd have 41 lbs of fat and 123 lbs of lean mass. This would mean you'd lose 16 lbs of fat and gain 2 lbs of lean muscle, not a bad trade off. If you had 20% BF at 164 you'd have 32 lbs of fat and 132 lbs of lean mass, a loss of 25lbs of fat and a gain of 11 lbs of lean muscle. You'd still weigh 164 lbs at both BF%'s but you'd be a completely different size. It's all about composition.

By incorporating resistance work into your WOL you have ensured that you won't lose lean muscle - what you're going to lose is FAT. Where you end up, only time will tell, but you are headed in the right direction.
