Currently 228. Started in September at 245. Goal is 175 by 1 August. Doing a mixture of healthier diet and getting more exercise. I will post my numbers weekly.

Oh, and for what its worth... the following has been working for me:
1. I log everything I eat, along with calories and some nutrients (fat, protein, carbs, sodium).
2. I also log all my exercise along with the numbers from my heart rate monitor.
I have also tried to not cut my calories by any more then 200 a day per week and I have not increased my daily exercise by more then 5 minutes per week.
When I started in September of 2010 I was eating ~4500 calories a day, exercising 0 minutes per day. I am now down to <2000 calories a day and approximately 55 minutes of cardio 5 days per week. Aside from making sure I attempt to eat a low sodium diet I have not done anything with my diet except to eat less and as time has gone on I have found myself adding more veggies.
I think for me the biggest thing I do is the logging, I hate writing down when I have blown it for the day.

Well, this morning had me at 16.3% bodyfat (down from 17%), weight almost identical to four weeks ago. I've really just been following the "slow carb diet" from The Four Hour Body, but even that I've been pretty bad with due to an overactive social life I'm fighting a head cold now, but have been strict with the diet again the last 3 days, going to be strict with it for at least the next 30 and start doing the exercise portion once I feel I'm past the worst of the cold.
