Another thing to consider is that I've always had a smaller thin
build. All I'm really doing is returning to that. I'm 5' 9" and now
weight 195. I was at 225. I feel my idea weight is about 160 to 165.
I'm convinced I can get back to 165. Pretty sure that in a few weeks
I'll move to 35 or 40 pounds of total weight loss.

Just checked. Looks like my 165 number is actually a legitimate number
if you believe this and I do:
