Dropping weight steadily week after week takes some real work, I know all about it. January 1st I was 235 pounds. Today I'm 197 pounds (back to fighting weight) in just about 10 weeks exactly.

This is what I do personally:

3 - 1 hour weight sessions per week with personal trainer
4 - 2 hour Brazillian Jiu Jitsu Sessions per week
6 - 1 hour cardio days per week.
2000 calories, less than 30 grams of fat and more than 150 grams of protein per day.

Luckily I'm just about done crash dieting now myself and I can get back to eating a little more, can't wait actually.

Anyway, keep up the good work and don't forget to reward yourself everynow and then, you've earned it.
Having re read what you said, I realise that you were teasing, even without the smilies...I'm a little off my game, apparently...'cause I didn't quite see it this morning....I AM jealous that you're able to do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu....there aren't any in my area.....

Your regimen is close to mine....three times a week with the trainer....the one who has no sympathy, no empathy, does not back down and actually INSISTS I do things HIS way....

I only do cardio five days a week because I am told to rest one day a week.

I do start kickboxing on Thursday....just to see if I like it. Not as if I'm going into competition, but I really do feel the need to hit something, rather than some one.....

My calories are a little less than yours, but then again, I am less than you, both in height and weight. Plus, damn you, men lose weight more easily than women....my trainer allows my honey, Tev, to lose two pounds a week, which he does. Easily.

And, may I add, in all seriousness....that I am very proud of your efforts. Having been there, actually still there...it's tough, it's hard.....and really requires a level of commitment bordering on insanity.

I really believe I am somewhat insane for doing it this way, for I have come to love it and thrive on being sore six days a week...

Mad props to you!
