    Intermittant fasting and loose calorie counting. Eating between 1200-1800 cals per day depending on activity level.

    235lbs-185lbs so far. 35ish to go.

    I dont deprive myself of anything. I still enjoy dessert, starbucks, eating out etc.

    Just using goal set up here and tracking my calories. No deliberately increased activity, no dietary restrictions, no nothing except weighing/measuring my food and counting my calories to stay at or around the level MFP told me to. 190 to 128.

    I ate a bit less for a few months.

    Worked to a weekly calorie goal to make compliance easier. The calorie goal set by MyFitnessPal was a pretty reasonable estimate and only had to make one adjustment to account for my consistent but slightly relaxed logging inaccuracies.

    Have you tried calorie counting before?

    There's a wealth of information in the Most Helpful Threads pinned to the top of the various forums, well worth reading.

    I cut back on the amount of food and calorie dense beverages I was consuming and started exercising regularly and in general moving more. Eventually started counting calories and lost 40 Lbs in about 8-9 months. Losing weight requires long term discipline over months and sometimes years.

    The same way you're going to: by taking in fewer calories from food than my body burns in a day.

    I use a food scale to measure my portions by the gram, cook 90-95% of what I eat myself, log everything I eat and drink, and started adding ~30 minutes of exercise to my day, sometimes more. I've followed workout videos, I've gone for walks around my block or at parks in my area, and I started dabbling in weightlifting again because those are the kinds of activities I like to do, but any movement you can add to your day is good.

    The short version is that I found my target calorie deficit and learned how to meet it weekly.

    To do that I did things like:
    -I started off with portion controlled dinners to learn what a reasonable portion should be.
    -I learned some quick hacks to make measuring easier and more accurate
    -I stopped drinking calories
    -I increased my exercise

    I did pretty much this, with an MFP calorie goal (adjusted based on personal experience, after a month or so):

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10636388/free-customized-personal-weight-loss-eating-plan-not-spam-or-mlm/p1

    That, plus an activity routine (including exercise) that I enjoy enough that I'd do it even if it weren't good for me.

    I'm betting you can find your own right approach: Persistence in experimenting, working at it, can be very productive.

    Wishing you success!
