I have only done one thing so far: no pure carbs like rice, potatoes, bread, stuff like that. I'm still eating high-calorie foods, especially avocados, and I get one soda per day (yay Dr. Pepper!) But most of my meals are stir-fried vegetables with tofu (tastes better than it sounds, actually).
So far, I'm down about 10 lbs, but I think the first few pounds were just overhydration, food in the gut and stuff like that. If I can lose about 20 lbs more, I'll be under 100kg, which will be a real happy milestone
Good luck Benny. Our parameters are about the same I got as high as 235 and I think eventually I'll be happiest at between 175 and 180. I've been as close as 182 but for going on a couple years now I've been hovering around 190. Being in the mode of actively losing is tough but finding acceptable limits for maintaining doesn't seem too hard now. I'm much more physically active now and one limit I've adopted is that a scone or other bakery goody is only an option after a trip to the Y.
