Hi Jackie,
Congrats on your choice to become vegetarian and on your cholesterol dropping 46 points!
In order to lose weight, you need to burn 3500 calories for every pound of fat you want to burn. You should aim at losing no more than 2-3 lbs per week. (Slow and steady wins the race). When I lost weight, I was consuming about 1400 calories a day, and burning about 500 at the gym between about 45 minutes of cardio & 30 minutes of strength training, 5x a week.
