Today's Workout:

Treadmill for 10 minutes to warm up. Started at 3.1mph and increased to 3.5mph.
Stretches for back, hamstrings and quads
20 abdominal crunches with 55 pounds resistance. This was a mistake. I wanted 50 lbs and did not notice that the extra 5 lbs lever was on.
25 rotary twists each side with 40 pounds resistance.
20 preacher curls with 40 pounds
20 minutes on the elliptical trainer, heart rate peaked at 153bpm. HR target at my age/weight is 130bpm.
10 preacher curls with 55 pounds.
Stretches for back, hamstrings and quads
Treadmill for 10 minutes to cool down. Started at 3.0mph, decreased to 2.5mph.
Shower and back to work (after getting dressed)
Time 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Again, please feel free to offer any suggestions for a better/more productive workout. I am stalled around 170. I am getting tighter everywhere, my clothes fit much better without cutting off circulation, but, I want to lose some weight.

Dude! Weight, shmate.

Who cares what you weigh. How do you feel? Is it getting easier for you to do your workout? Are you able to up your reps or your weights? Are your clothes fitting better? Are you getting stronger? (If you can curl a preacher, you're a heck of a lot stronger than me.) Do you have more stamina? Are the endorphins in your nervous system making it easier for you to cope with stressful events?

Weight is just a number. Numbers were created by the forces of darkness and negativity to make us feel bad about ourselves. Weight isn't health. Health is what matters

I hear what your are saying. I've been focused on weight for a very long time so its hard to break the rythm I guess. Still, I want to be a bit lighter and be slimmer.
