I wish I had known earlier how beneficial lifting was to losing fat. My thoughts at the beginning were that cardio= weight loss. Im glad a guy at the gym set me straight. strength is way up and i feel so much better. Im shooting to be under 250 before my 30th birthday in February.

I also have my diet straitened out. Im hovering around 2600 calories a day.

I lurk on this thread for the most part, but this thread helped me out a ton just reading through it all.
Nice work. Lifting is by far and away the best bang for your buck. You can build muscle and lose fat. Same can't be said for cardio.

I'd drop those calories near 2,000. Really no reason you need more than that if your goal is weight loss and you're that heavy.

Just stay consistent. That's the biggest way to hit any fitness goal.
