    I don't mean to sound obtuse, but what did you expect it to look like? What someone looks like at a certain rate will vary so much based on numerous factors. Just keep working towards your goal weight; you can always lower it if you want to.

    another vote for bod pod. Even really fit I will never get below 230. I have an old pic in my profile from when I played ball. I was 310 and in dam fine shape lol

    I didn't really have an expectation of what I would look like at 263. I have been large my whole life... I have been down to 205 before and I was a size 12/14 pants. Right now I'm a size 16/18... I feel like I must have a large percentage of lean body mass... I guess I'm going to try to find a place that I can get my body composition checked...

    <--- me at 230lbs, and I'm 5'8. I thought I hid my fat relatively well as well, but had a BF test done (with electrodes, not sure how accurate it was) and my results were 45% BF when I was 251 and firstnstarted working out. I think once I get around 175 I will be able to gauge how much farther to go. It's the only way you can, in my opinion.

    If you want a realistic goal, see if there is somewhere in town you can get a Bod Pod done. Often a university will have one. I can get mine done for $30. I plan on doing my first one in a few weeks.

    At any rate, a Bod Pod measurement will get you your lean muscle mass, then you can pick you body fat percentage and calculate your goal weight based on what your body looks like right now under the fat.

    Thank you for this. The nearest place to have this done is DC... Not too far. I'll have to look into it after I get back from vacation.

    I looked like that at 208 lbs at 5'8'' so you definitely are carrying your weight very well.
