Woke at 209.0, same as yesterday. Not going to get in an 80 minute fasted HIIT workout today, so may not get back to 206.0! UPDATE: So this is really interesting... When I woke this morning, not only was my weight exactly the same as yesterday, but all my other readings were nearly identical to yesterday (body fat percentage, water percentage, etc.) This gave me a unique opportunity to compare HIIT to steady state cardio. I didn't want to do HIIT again today, so after 16:8 I went out for a 3-mile walk in the neighborhood. I averaged 3.5 to 4 mph. Came home and got on the treadmill at 3.5 mph to update my websites and do some work reading. At 5 miles in, I stopped reading and set it on 4 mph for the last mile. When I got off, surprisingly all my readings were identical to my post-workout numbers from yesterday EXCEPT the weight... today, I was actually down to 205.0! This was surprising. The total minutes were 89 compared to 80 for yesterday but it seemed to be just as effective. (Or did I just build on yesterday's success?) I'll take it, either way!

Hope you get there. Can you explain your HIIT workout. I just started one that my muscle builder friend does but he says he doesn't do it more than one time a week and everyone is doing it wrong. The way I look at things, I don't think you can go wrong with high intensity even if you are doing it wrong. The way he does it, he's on a bike and does 6 sets of 100% intensity for 30 seconds. Then unlike what I have read, he let's his body go totally back to normal before he repeats it. What do you think of this?

Thanks for the comments and I will look that up. My body is pretty healed now after my accident and it's time I put some more intensity in my workouts. Though I do the P90X, it's a tough workout so I have to pace myself but it takes a lot of time. If I can get good benefits from a more intense but shorter time, it would really help my consistency.
