If you routinely consume to many calories, for arguments sake we'll say 3,000 a day. Your weight is obviously going to be high, lets say 15stone.

Now if you reduced your intake to 2,000 a day, very roughly the recommended for your ideal weight of 10stone. Would you drop over time to 10stone or would you maintain your excess weight?

Or do you have to reduce your calorie intake to less than the amount to maintain your ideal weight until you hit it, then increase it to the 2,000 calories when you're the correct weight?

Have a look at this OP
http://thegetinshapeworkoutplan.com/how-to-determine-how-many-calories-a-day-you-need

Use the figure from the BMR calculator and use the activity formula in the above link to times bmr by what you feel your activity level is to find a more true Maintaince estimate, estimate being the key word as no calculator is going to give you the exact number you need.. You need to find this out yourself but it's good starting point.
