Pretty much the same as what everyone else said, I was up to 230lbs at the beginning of the year and down to about 208lbs right now, what I did:
Eat subway every day
I do not eat after 5pm
150 pushups every morning
After getting to about 212ish it started getting harder so I started:
Taking hydroxycut
Pushups in the morning, running 1.5 miles and jumping rope in the evening
I think what is happening though is the weight loss is slowing and I'm building more muscle. The main thing is diet and controlling portions.
