I am, however, willing to cut the weight down slowly. Someone said
2lbs/wk, I thought that was a lot. But 5 to 10lbs/month is good,
and achievable, and works out to 1 or 2 lbs/wk. Acheive the -25 lbs,
and then maintain it.

Although many here would advise you to stay away from weighing yourself too much, you might be surprised to find a fellow of your bulk might lose 2 lbs every night between when you go to bed and when you wake up.
You add it back - or not - through the day via your diet/exercise regimen.
The time of day you eat your last biggest meal does matter in that equation too.
Doesn't have to matter and it's not something you have to focus on. I only mention it because indicated 2 lbs a week as being a goal. (For me, it's about 1 to 1.5 lbs every night, almost like clockwork when I bother to check it.)
Lastly, for those starting out on a diet/exercise regimen you will probably have some rather dramatic results earlier on, probably much greater than 2 lbs a week. It's when you're getting slimmer/fitter that your weight loss trend slows down, when you're more muscle mass and less fatty mass. That tends to be frustrating later on when you're more gung-ho after some big results but it becomes a struggle to get to that final goal.
Good luck with it. Sincerely.
