I am going to start out at 22 pounds of lead and see how that works out for me,

One of the most important weighting moments - neutrally buoyant with empty BCD and 500 psi @ 15 feet. Take lead in smaller increments and give some to your dive buddy @ 15' until you're neutral

edited: it's not about how much your stuff weighs on land, it's about the amount of negative or positive buoyancy under water. There was a smart guy a while back, Archimedes was his name?
