Scott and I have been trying to lose weight ever since the winter retreat. I weighed myself there and came in at a hefty 232 lbs. Well, a few weeks later and I'm in the 2-teens. I've been aerobic exercising every night, 30-60 mins a night, and trying to diet properly (Whole foods, 1000 calories/day), and this week I've managed to maintain a 218 lb average - yesterday's weigh in had me at 217.6 lbs. I hope to be in the 205-210 range by the end of next week. I don't think that's too agressive - 20 lbs in five weeks.

I am not weighing for a little while, don't want to get discouraged.
Been eating good, had a couple weekends where I ate like ****, but lean cuisines for lunch, slim fast bars for breakfast and then a good dinner, salads, trying to stay away from the breads.

Well, Ideally I'd like to see 215-220 of muscle. I think that'll take some time though, so my goal is to be in the 190's with my fat loss - around 10-12% bodyfat.

it looks like you are well on your way, i mean you lost like what 15lbs already in a few weeks.
So you should be good. you motivate me and make me want to get up off my *** and go jog.
i think i will do that. thanks alot sinful.
(i also undertand why youre making such a big change...)

Yeah, just keep hydrated, that's my only real advice.. The first week of weight loss I saw an 8 lb reduction, then I stagnated for a week - I assume it's because I lost quite a bit of water weight. Now, it seems I'm steadily on a decline, maybe a .3 lbs a day, which doesn't seem like a lot, but over ten days, that's three pounds. Go grab a three pound ham and it's clear how much bulk that really is.
