I'm doing my own thing so I read all different ways to lose weight and use what I like. Nice thing is most of the time it works. Is anyone following Jon Gabriel's method?

I do my best to count calories, make healthy food choices, exercise regularly, get plenty of rest, and try not to freak out when i stumble along way.0

Just counting calories. Try to mix the days up food wise, but get stuck in a rut every now and then eating the same foods.
Its working though and that's what matters.0 -

I just did lots of research on foods and figured out which foods fit the goals I was going for and my health.0

TDEE - 20% works perfect. I've lost a bunch of weight and I eat a lot.0

I count calories and work hard to keep Fat and Sugar in check. Sodium seems to be high often, but I drink a bunch of water (been over 10 a day lately), so it works out. I am over my macro in protein often, and under 1/2 in Carbs & Fats. I started on 1/11/13, and have lost 54 as of this morning. I work out 2-3 times a week (50-65 minutes of weight lifting & 30-65 minutes of aerobic work (Slam-N-Ropes)), and as a teacher and football/powerlifting coach I stay mobile. Best piece of advice is DON'T STRESS OUT. Second best is BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF AND WHAT YOU EAT.0

20/4 IF, low-ish carb (less than 100g, usually around 50-60g net), IIFYM, and making bomb low calorie food.0

pretty much this0 -
I have done so many things over the years, it isn't even funny!
I have done Weight Watchers 8 times. I have done Nutrisystem.
Most recently I joined a weight loss/nutrition program at my gym, and it was basically just counting calories and was really expensive, so I came here.
I just track my calories (usually) and focus on smaller portions. I am consistently losing weight, although it is SLOW going. I realized I am only able to focus on one or two major changes at once. I decided that exercising was a priority so I have been moving more, doing more classes at the gym. I get 60 mins excercise (cardio and weights!) 5 times a week. I also always wear a fitness tracker (fitbit) which tracks all my movement throughout the day, just doing normal everyday stuff and it pushes me to walk more, take the further away parking spot, climb the stairs instead of elevator, etc.
The other thing I did was to just not eat as much. I have lost 12 pounds since Jan 7. That isn't a huge amount, but I am very excited about it.
My next step will be to not only track my calories better but to make healthier food choices as well. I am halfway there.
Oh, I also kicked regular soda cold turkey and instead just drink flavored soda water, for the bubbles.0 -

I am using 1600 calories per day, a mild deficit.
My goals are : maximum nutrition in each meal, several small meals a day
fruit / veg / lean protein / whole grain,
exercise every day, about 5 hours a week
weight training x 2
cardio x 4
Avoid a lot of carbs before bed
eat more before and after workouts, earlier in the day preferred0 -

Roughly TDEE- 20%, though I tend to eat below that Monday-Thursday so I can't eat more on the weekends.0

you can make this scientific or keep it simple..I chose the latter.
eating less and moving more has worked for me.0 -
I've been looking up new recipes from around the globe. A lot of Chinese recipes can be very slimming. I tend to take recipe books out from the library from all different cultures. There is one thing that most countries have in common, some one is trying to lose weight so it great to see what other people do.0
