What was/is your exercise routine like?

In my opinion, success stories are the greatest motivation out there. So I'm curious. Everyone who has been successful and is at or getting close to their goal weight, what did you do to get there? I'm looking for more detail then just the usual "stay focused, stay motivated, eat clean, move more" sort of answer. What was your favorite exercise routine like? How often did you work out and what were those work-outs?

30 minuets of cardio a day starting with 5 minuet walk 5 minuet jogg and progressed my running time as time went on. Heavy lifting upper body one day heavy lifting lower body the next. Then on to light weight upper the next and lower weight legs the next day. Only took a rest about every 2 weeks or when my body wouldn't allow me to work out. I cut pop and fast food first and slowly entreiduced healthier food when I started hitting plateaus. Started at 350 pounds lowest weight was 285-286 depending on the day currently trying to lose body fat rather than weight and have put on 20 pounds of muscle. This was over the course of 2 years.

I do a variety of different things. Swimming, running, pilates, yoga, tennis, weights, hiking, etc. It has to be fun for me or what's the point?

I walk 10k to 15k steps per day about 5-6 days a week and lift heavy (NROL, 5/3/1, 5x5, etc) two days a week. I use a Fitbit to sort my calories for me and find it to be accurate enough to lose 1-2 lbs a week. I'm nearly to my goal of 145lb for the second time with this plan.
