I'm not trying to discourage, just realize that it really is a long road, and it's going to take more than a year of dedication to get where you really want.
Yeah. 200-205 is my goal weight for right now. I'll feel and look good at that weight, but will DEFINITELY have 10-20 more to lose after that to really look my best. I have been at 200 before and while I was still absolutely overweight, it was a much, much better place to be than where I am now.
My goal is to lose down to 200-205 by the end of Septemberish, and then I will set another goal then for 190. I don't want to be scrawny, and I want to settle in at around 190-200 with good muscle when all is said and done.

I really enjoy my workouts, which makes it much easier. It's amazing the progress I have made in just 2 short weeks. I started doing HIIT for 4 minutes only and was wheezing and breathing hard 2 weeks ago, just barely completing the 4 minutes. I did 7 minutes the other day and finished very strong with no wheezing. The extra work in the pool, especially when I push myself hard, is definitely helping.
I am going to try to train 2x on cardio days once a week or so, just to get an extra workout in. If I feel like this is tiring me out too much or affecting my lifts, I'll back off, but it's worth an experiment. I'm really very dedicated to this right now and want to feel and look my best come September.
As always, I appreciate the kind words and encouragement guys. I hope to be able to make a big celebration post about my success and continuing goals the end of this year!!!
