BTW.. by "not exceeding" I meant that you are not limiting the  
cal count to just 800.  ;)

35 pound reduction is pretty good. But these initial large  
drops in just the early weeks are primarily water loss.  It  
will be a testimony of will and consistency that will prove if  
your approach works.  Myself, it took a span of nearly 2 yrs to  
get from nearly 200 lbs to 175, and i didn't even have any  
processed sugar or cookies! :D

At 222 + 35 that makes you a hefty guy. Unless you are a pro  
athlete, I doubt that 250+ was a healthy marker.

Even at my modest goal to be under 180, several joint pains and  
other discomforts and "issues" went away when I reduced the  
weight.

Good luck.
