I do weight watchers. I just pay 13 dollars a month to use their app, I don't buy anything else. Honestly, the best approach is to eat reasonable food in the correct portions. I am not eating any sugar, or drinking soda. The only things I drink other than water are coffee in the morning and maybe an unsweet ice tea. Instead of red meat, I tend to the leaner meats, poultry. This doesn't mean I don't eat steak or pork. I just plan my diet that day to allow for that type of stuff. It is hard. My wife and I both have been gaining weight, she went to the doctor and was upset about her weight so we both agreed to do something about it. That helps to have someone doing it with you. I have lost 19 lbs but have another 60 to go. So I am nowhere near my goal.

Sounds like great progress being made and well worth the effort!

@penguinwrangler I have also stopped eating sugary candy. I do still eat strawberries and grapes almost daily, but it is much better than a couple full size snickers bars every day.
-
I've lost 26lbs the past 2 weeks, but it was all water weight. Still have some more to take out as well
-
6'5" and was 215 at Thanksgiving. After TG dinner I said I was going on a diet to get back down to the 185 I'm comfortable with. I got down to 175 by New Years. Just takes proper planning of meals to automate your groove; along with exercise, and no cheating.
-
I've done a program called Whole30 for the last month. 10lbs off, a lot of bloat issues gone.
Need to adjust diet and exercise program and go for another 10!

I still eat fruit. Just no processed sugar.

6'5" tall and you are complaining about being 215? You must have a small build for someone that tall. I was gifted with a linebacker type of build. I am 6'4" tall and I was 313 lbs. Most people tell me, you couldn't be that heavy, but I was. I have a long tall torso so hiding my true weight was easy, relatively normal length legs, 32" inseam on my pants.

Hmm... yeah i read that again. 6'5" wanting to get down to 175 lbs? That's less than I am usualy, and I'm 5'10"ish. I thought I was pretty skinny... 6'5" and 215 seems like it'd be in the upper end of the healthy range... without looking at any charts off the top of my head.

I just found out this topic, omg why I'm so late
I'm currently working on shredding some weight, I believe it will make me run faster. -

It's for running purposes only. I find it easier to run faster with lighter weight.

I find it easier to be heavier and not run at all

Hmmm, I agree and drinking beer is easier than running at all.
