I was down to 180 about 6 years ago but I've climbed to 215 and I've been there for awhile. I'm stronger and have a lot more muscle mass thanks to the OT workouts, but I'm carrying about 54 lbs of fat. Need to get that down to about 30, so I got some work to do.
Down to 207, so that's like 4 pounds a week. I'm sure it'll slow down from here, which is why I need to be in it for the long haul.

You will be surprised on the progress you can make by just making smart food decisions (not eating like a teenager when your 40) and being consistent with diet, training and recovery. No need to ever track calories/macros IMHO unless your planning on stepping on stage.
