I'm 6'5", and started at 395lbs (got scared as I approached 400) and today I'm right at 300lbs.
Main thing for me has been intermittent fasting (16/8 around half of the time, and 20/4 or one meal a day the other half), along with weight training (compound movements with the barbell) and HIIT cardio. I've been eating at a caloric deficit mostly but I don't track calories at all at this point, so I'm not strict with that.
IF has been the biggest factor for me by far. I've lost weight in the past here and there, usually by calorie counting, but was never able to stick with it for longer than a few months at a time. IF was simple enough for me to get into a true habit without feeling like I'm dieting. Even when I go into maintenance I'm sure I'll still do 16/8 fasting.
The weight loss has been consistent - started late Feb 2018 and it's been between 2-3 lbs per week since then.
For 2019 I'd like to lose another 50 lbs of fat, and then really focus on maintenance and strength training.
