I am not what you would call "fat" as I was an avid weightlifter up until about 2 months ago and just kind of drifted away from it. My question is: I am looking to get down to like 205, what is a realistic amount of time to hit that number if I run around 1.5 miles 5 days a week? Thanks for you help...

Thinking one pound per week is best case for proper health. Possibly a little more, but don't want to break up muscle fibers

You must be very active. I'm a pretty normal 5'10 175 or so and I need to eat 2k or under to have a chance to lose weight. I shoot for 1,800-2,000 when I'm trying to lose a few. When I don't give a darn I'm probably eating more like 2,400-2,800. If I ate 3,700 I'd be over 200 easy, I would assume.
