Oct 2011–Jan 2012 Lifting Goal: Lose Body Fat

 

I've decided that the goal for my next cycle is to lose body fat.   I'm currently sporting a generous chunk of flab around my middle, with a current weight range of 210-215.   I'd like to cut that by about 20 lbs, to around 190-195.   To do this I will need to lose an average of 1lb - 2lbs a week, which seems reasonable with a solid program.
