Crossfit for fat loss?

I found this article helpful when I started crossfit:

I'm 5'7, 133, approx. 21% bf (goal 18-19%). I crossfit 3x a week. Depending on the day my activity/hunger level, I eat between 1600 and 2200 calories. Initially, I gained a few pounds. But after a month or so, my clothes started fitting better and my waist is definitely smaller. Keep going! Eat to fuel your body, and train to improve your lifts and time. You'll get the results you want if you keep at it!
