        I'm pretty active, but an injury has really limited the type of cardio.  I'm near 100% so will hit it pretty hard in the coming weeks.  While important I found that diet is key.  Here is what I plan to stick.  I'm sure it would be quicker if I didn't eat any carbs, but then I'd go postal.  It seems complicated, but with the app myfitnesspal it does all the math.

        Calories
        2223 cals

        Carbs 40%
        889cals/222g

        Protein 40%
        889 cals/222g

        Fat 20%
        445/50g

        Water intake
        120-135 oz.

        Cals per a meal
        445-556 cals

        Carbs per meal
        45g/56g

        Protein per meal
        45g/56g

        Fat per meal
        10g/12g

        total fiber
        38g

                    Picture this:

                    One slice banana bread
                    Peanut butter
                    Strawberry jam
                    One slice banana bread
                    Peanut butter
                    Strawberry jam
                    One slice banana bread.

                    Now picture this concoction grilled.

                    Now picture having to say no to this glorious piece of heaven.

                    This contest is pissing me off already. 😃

                        So glad to hear you say this. I've been in the same boat and already decided to start Monday. What a relief 🙂

                          I've decided to put a stop to my beer consumption. Tequila and grapefruit juice for the duration of this contest. Shit's gettin' real.

                              I'd agree with @summ3rhays about how to approach this. Weight loss is really about eating fewer calories than you take in.

                              Given that most people, at least those for whom I can see a weight, are around 210 to 220 lbs, then 2500 calories would be a good starting point. Aim to lose around a pound a week, and if it's not going down then cut back on what you eat.

                              Calorie counting isn't an accurate science, and people tend to under-report how much they're eating, in some cases by about 30%. But it's probably the least worst approach.

                              Oh, and you'll probably feel hungry whilst losing weight. Just to forewarn you…

                              I'd give the challenge a go, but I'm in China for the next fortnight (what was that about going to Australia?), so maybe I'll pick it up when I get settled.
