(1-.08)*new weight = 146.9, new weight = about 160 pounds.

Is that a reasonable target? At 2 pounds a week, that's (226-160)/2 = 33 weeks or about 8 and a half months. Sound OK?
Yup. You might lose faster, it's difficult to judge.

Should post up your diet, what do you eat every day (write it down for 2 days then post it up)
