There is a saying, TRAIN HARD FIGHT EASY.
It's not hard to retrain, technique and reform your eating but it takes time and the right attitude. This tread will be about how to get it off and keep it off.
If you are dedicated to nutritional reform and are willing to be patient and follow directions I will help you.

What I wonder is if thinking of a weight loss as being "done" or in "maintenance" is a good idea to begin with.
Maybe it's because I have so far to to go, I used to just want to be out of obese, now I was to be a size 6, and by then I may want to be a size 4, or be able to have a respectable time in a triathlon, or low enough body fat to correct the loose skin. They may discover some new health marker we're not aware of now that I'll want to meet- who knows. Hopefully by then, there will be more research into CRON, or better tools to manage it. The cron-o meter is a little daunting.

CRON made simple:
Eat a lot of very healthy food but keep the calories low. Do a metabolic calculation and eat at 5 to 10% below the required calories to maintain your weight.
Google CRON diet food list.
Weight loss and the proper body weight is merely a part of good health. Don't look at it as an end. It's merely a byproduct.

I am willing to be patient. to an extent. I would like to see myself in a two piece bathing suit by the end of the summer.  whether I can or not.. that is part of my goal. if it takes more time to get there I understand as well. Just want to do the best that is possible with out being unhealthy and still drop the weight. :)
I'm so inexperienced with weight loss and doing so correctly. . having someone to help me along is really beneficial. :)

| Well, if i get to the lowest end of the healthy BMI, that's 1161 a day, not counting activity. .It's the attention to nutrients I was talking about, the way the real CRON folks pore over all the micro nutrients. It seems so time consuming.

It depends on how much you currently weigh. If you are way over weight it will take much longer.
Let's say you are currently 150 and you need to be 130 to look good in a bikini. The most you can safely lose is less than 1.5 pounds per week or about 5 pounds a month.
By a bikini a few sizes to small and wear it anyway. You will get there. It will be motivating.

BMI is a decent yardstick but if you are big boned are more muscular an 18.5 may be to low. If you are small boned and not genetically muscular you may be OK below 18.5.
If you are active you will also need to eat more.
Here is a basic reality. The most weight a woman can maintain on 2000 calorie is about 135 pounds. If she is really active (like an aerobics instructor) or a lumber Jill or a landscaper she may need 3000+

Lol.. that makes me giggle. the lumber jill part... I have resanded and re polyurithaned my grams two story wood floor cabin... and just last week were roofed the house as well. plus a huge yard that takes Constant maintenance. myabe not a lumberjill... but sure am active. And it's showing. :) I have been eatting well as you suggested and keeping active and have lost ten pounds in a little over a month. I havne't done anything special accept eatting well and drinking a lot more water and all this work this summer is providing... havnen't even had time to find for my 45 min workout.. but hope I can soon.
Question: If I loose the extra fat too fast and then try and build muscle with jumpin into a light workout.. is that going to benefit or make it bad... I dont want to shock my body too much or make the wrong changes... so just curious as to where to go from here.. because I did not expect to loose that much just from a few small changes... and I sure dont want to do anything to mess it up.

To build muscle you have to eat high protein and high carb. Heavy weights and low reps. By heavy I mean so have that you can barely to 7 reps. Then you work to failure.
Must people can't build muscle when cutting weight.
The toughest part is squats. You really have to build the legs. If you don't your upper body won't grow.
