Well this might just be some basic stuff but I wanted to share a little of what I did to lose the weight and what worked for me. I am close to to 100lb mark of weight loss and went from a 55%b/f to 24% currently and dropping, so here are some tips for anyone willing to read.

Intermittent Fasting- I started this at the half way point of my diet but it was highly effective in loosing the weight. I did a 16/8 fast so that's 8 hrs of eating and 16 of fasting.

MyFitnessPal App- I can't stress how important this is. Now yes you can mentally track your calories each day but by using the app its makes you more committed. When you know exactly what your eating and logging it helps the pattern of healthy eating begin.

Yohimbine + Caffeine - I used 10mg with 240mg of caffeine every-morning as soon as I woke. I drank it with a liter of Ice cold water to start the metabolism and I fasted at least for the first hour after taking it

Immerse Yourself- any thing you love is something you take care of so fall in love with lifting and the gym. Go supplement nuts and learn as much as you can. Something as small as creatine can get you excited which in turn helps your commitment to your weight-loss.

LIFT LIFT LIFT- for your self esteem throughout the whole process work on personal bests. Sometimes even 30lbs seems like a small dent in the whole picture but working on hitting personal best will keep you motivated!

12 Step it- Go to OA (over eaters anonymous). I'm a recovering addict so I did NA but working the steps directly led to helping my addiction to food.

Hope this helps, I always found that I knew what was the right thing to eat, I just didn't eat it so I didn't go into what was my specific diet but of course it was high protein low carb with lots of veggies. 1500-2000 calories. Good luck
