I started my diet roughly three weeks ago. I've lost four pounds and a half inch on my hips. I find the easiest and fastest way for me to burn calories is to march/run in place to cadence (Army). It burns lots of calories in short period of time. I use my heart beat monitor and it's close to what the calorie use calculators say it should be. I take a beta blocker so it's hard for me to get my heart rate too high but running in place does a great job.
My diet is the type of diet bodybuilders follow. It's clean eating. Very little salt and no prepared foods. Everything is made from scratch but uses very few ingredients. I got a book called "Muscle Chow" that has tons of great recipes and ideas and I use it daily. I try and prepare dishes in advance.
I find I'm seldom if ever hungry and if I exercise more, I can eat a bit more.
I hope to meet my goal in about two months. So far, I'm pleased. It's not coming off fast but it's coming off and that's what counts.
I started at 156 and am now at 153.4. It may tick up a bit on some days but generally goes down. My goal is 135.
