Weight Loss/Maintenance

help anyone else. I was 6'1" 360lbs. I'm naturally large, so about 230 would be nice.
I think this would be most useful for a big fat guy that is that fat because he eats way too much, like I was.
I started out just winging it and trying to cut my meals in about half and eat fruit in between to get me by. That worked real well. I dropped 20 without even having to try very hard then got stuck.
So I heard cutting carbs is the thing and substituted other healthy choices for about half the carbs I was eating and lost another nice chunk. I was still paying very little attention to calories in what I had been used to eating. There were some real gut bombs in there. It turns out most people don't butter their cheese, who knew?
One thing that seems nice is that I still had the calorie counting weapon to pull out when I hit the wall again. I see all kinds of stuff I can eliminate or substitute for that will save me a ton of calories. I told my girlfriend the other night that I was at about 1250 cals for the day and it seemed like I was eating all day.
