That's my favorite diet.

No, clothing especially pants even if they fit that doesn't mean mean they will look right on you. I usually have to try on 2-3 pairs of pants that fit to find the right pair.

I would recommend going with a proven starter program, your list of movements is top heavy on iso movements for the upper body. I so no rowing exercises just the lat pulldowns, don't forget about your back. Also, you're negating your legs, no lunges, no DLs, no squats, no compound movements for your legs/body. If you're…

^ Agreed. Weight training and crossfit are sports and as with any sport you run the risk of injuring yourself, especially if you start upping the resistance too fast.

I agree, if you are not gaining or losing any weight try dropping down to 2000 for a few months and measure the results. I am 6'1" and started at 220 lbs on a 2200 deficit about 50 days ago. I am at 205 now. I will probably drop that down to 2100 or 2150 once I get below 200 lbs.

I would also caution against running at first. If your mechanics are not tight and your legs are not conditioned your knees can get sore rather easily. Brisk walking or walking/hiking somewhere with elevation changes might be a better starting point.

Nothing except sugar drinks. I have been hammering down sparkling drinks (ie bubly) like there is no tomorrow though as a canned soft drink replacement. I try and keep my junk food intake to around 500 of my 2200 calories per day. I have been eating a lot less candy as I prefer chips over the former.

Yea, most 1/4lb or larger pub burger and fries combo's are well over 1200 calories, that doesn't even count any liquid calories. Two cheeseburgers and small fries at mcdonalds with condiments is close to 1k.

Careful, she might take that comment as 'patronizing'.

Every 6-7 days. I am dropping down from 220 to 175 eating 2200 calories a day. I am giving myself a year to accomplish the goal. I personally see no reason to weigh myself daily as I don't get extra motivation from it.

No.

chips, burgers, chips, pizza, more chips

i try to never go more than 50 over and more than 150 under, and I usually try and get within 25 of my daily goal of 2300.
