Just started in the gym two weeks ago. Had really no plans of going to the gym, but got talked into it. I stepped on the scale in August I was 255lbs. Freaked me out. I started a 1700 calorie a day diet, right now i am 186lbs also 5'7". So far I have kept on the same diet plan, but wondering if I shouldn't bump the calories up to maybe 2000? I would like to weigh 175-180 and think that is ideal for my height and build. I have been doing weights for arms, legs, and abs. Also have been on the treadmill and elliptical. Really would like to get in enough shape for 2018 elk hunt. ANy suggestions?
