Height: 5'9"
Weight: The hateful scale at gym says I'm 192, as of yesterday afternoon. I usually hover around 186 at ideal control factors (no clothes, first thing in the morning, restroom visit beforehand, sun not directly shining on me, etc.)

Ultimate goal weight: 150-160
Milestone goal weight: 170
I'm not about weightloss as a goal, since I tend to muscle up, but shape. I'd like to get down to a size 12 pants size for my next shape goal, along with the smaller, more shapely tummy that goes with it.

Physical activity: regular cardio-- treadmill hillclimb, or ellipticals, plus weightlifting (for endurance and strength, not mass) 45 minutes, 3 times a week, would like to shoot for four, or a general increase in physical activity across the board in addition to gym time.

Would like to add: a better core routine, regular dancing classes or low-cost excursions to dance venues, some sort of stretching discipline, like yoga or pilates. Willing to consider a martial art that is not so much with bringing the smack-- have done fencing in the past and loved it.

Diet: not so diligent
needs more: veggies, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, calcium, portion control, TEA!
needs less: fats, sugars, alcohol, white starches, salt (I have borderline high blood pressure and a family history of CV disease, plus OMG! GOUT EEEK!)

Today's intake:
coffee with skim milk
1.5 cup frosted shredded wheat
apple
decaf with one non-dairy creamer, splenda
tea with splenda
cheese bagel with lowfat cream cheese
20 oz water
lg. orange
what the heck, another 20 oz. water
piece of cheesetoast
yet more water, fuck, it's hot
carrot
1.5 c stirfried veggies, with 3 oz lean pork

Today's activity:
half hour walk, incl. 4 flights of stairs, in hellish temperatures. I can has medal?

You've done great so far! I have no doubt that you will keep losing weight if you just keep up how you are going. The heat is keeping me from exercising currently. Don't need to overheat myself. I'll wait for it to cool down to "just barely tolerable" before I kick in the exercise again.
