That's how, many years ago, I went from 265 lbs. to 173 lbs. in 9 months. I didn't count calories. I cut out most of the crappy stuff I was shoving down my throat and started regular, aerobic exercise in the form of cycling. I am heavier than that now ("6'2", about 212 lbs. right now, usually about 207 lbs. when I am actually riding a lot), but I have a different musculature now. At 173 lbs. I had less muscle mass. If I were to cut out all alcohol out of diet, I would probably drop 10 lbs. pretty quickly.
