I would think probably closer to 170.

You'll drop fast in the first week but it will be mostly water weight. Then it will slow down so don't be discouraged (last week I lost 3 lbs, this week 5 - the first week was 7 lbs.)

I think a safe bet is 15 lbs. per cycle. You'll probably add back 3-5 on the break.
