I went from 260 pounds to 199 pounds in about a year or so simply by eating less food and cutting out junk food. Only eating fast food when in a hurry and then only a small sandwich like the McDouble which only had one slice of cheese and the Double Cheeseburger had two slices of cheese.

I didn't exercise much just did some walking.

I took in less calories by eating less food for the tl:dr people.
