I need to get in better shape, that is my ultimate goal. Ideally I'd like to get down to 220ish, I'm 6'3" and fairly solid built. My combo of lifting and cardio is working pretty good although the scale isn't moving much. Pants are looser and shirts are tighter so I know it's working. Next step is diet but I don't want to lose my muscle gains so I'm still researching the best method
When I first started trying to lose weight in April of 2016, I stopped eating junk food(chips etc) and fast food. At the time I was carrying 199 lbs on a 5'6.5" frame. Also I would eat nothing after 1900 until the following morning around 0730. I luckily changed jobs and went from a combination of 4-12 and nights to days. The job I have now involves walking and riding trikes around a warehouse. I started a push up program. By November 2016 I was down to 172. This morning I weighed in at 175. I'm happy with that. Good luck.
Congratulations on your success. I'm off the junk food but with my schedule there are days where I do fast food. I have cut out fries and other deep fried foods but there are not a lot of healthy quick eating options. I'm thinking about doing a month of meal replacement shakes and bars just to kick start my weight loss
Don't worry about the scale, just listen to what the mirror tells you. About 3 years ago I realized I needed to make a change. I was pushing 300lbs and in terrible shape with high blood pressure and a host of other issues. I started by thinking I wanted to lose weight and used myfitnesspal app to track my nutrition. After a year of that, I was down to 235lbs, but still in terrible shape. I started cycling and lifting at the gym. Since being religiously consistent with the gym for the last 2 years, I put on about 20 lbs and feel great. I no longer obsess about the scale and am much more concerned with functional strength and overall fitness.
Squat ladder to 250 Playing card push ups -20 for jokers -11 for aces -10 for face cards -everything else what it is We did 149 push ups Then 12 burpees timed, 24 sec 24 kettle ball swings timed, 32 seconds 32 situps timed, 72 seconds 72 air squats Absolutely horrible
To drop weight you really need to dial in your nutrition and be consistent with it. You cannot out exercise a bad diet. I would get a food scale and use an app like myfitnesspal. Tracking everything you eat really helps. The food scale is important because people vastly underestimate the amount of food. Keep working out and you should be good to go.

7.4K walk with the TWGW. This little feller was as surprised as we were when we walked past where he was bedded down.
More push-ups last night, 142 to be exact. I really need to get a personal assistant to take care of these matters for me. Oh yeah, and according to the thingie on my phone, I put in 4 miles of walking at work.
It was lovely but hot out today so I skipped the gym and went for a ride. 30 miles of gravel, just over 2 hours.
Three and a half hours of yard work(mulching, pulling weeds, edging flowerbeds). One 800 mg Motrin(aka "grunt candy")
Straight Arm Lat Push Down Bench Press Kneeling Landmine Press Overhead Plate Lift Farmer Walk 2 minutes Treadmill While I can ride for hours, I wanted to see how long I could run today. I had to stop at 2 minutes as I was sucking air . This is pretty pathetic. I am going to add some treadmill to my workouts at the gym until I can get to 10 minutes for starters. My current fitness goals, bench my body weight, squat and dead lift 1.5x my body weight, and run for 10 minutes without stopping. I have some work to do...
