I started body weight exercises with a friend who guided me—and is very experienced in the area, and also started being in a slight [1] calories deficit. I've been at it for about 5 months now and I've dropped 30 kg as of a few days ago (from 118kg), which is 66lbs (from 260lbs). The added benefit of exercise is that my energy levels are much more stable throughout the day, and my mood is generally better and more positive. Also, this wasn't so much of a diet as a lifestyle change. I always wanted to get into body weight exercises and gymnastics, but got discouraged by injuries and lack of knowledge/guidance. So, I'm very lucky to have met my friend (in more ways than one) who helped set me on the path I wanted to be! [1]: The deficit might not be so slight anymore, given I gained strength and increased my intnesity whilst keeping the calories the same. I've started eating a bit more to compensate for that now, but I'm still in a net deficit.
