It is important to eat in the morning. Your body has been without food for hours and you need to feed it. Your metabolism and your blood glucose levels (and corresponding insulin) will thank you. 
Down to 175 in the mornings. Few more months and I will be at 168 and be happy. Seemed like the weight has peeled off when I canned sugar. The most sugar I get from sources other than foods is the creamer for the coffee in the morning. A teaspoon of that and I'm good. Haven't had soda in a very long time, no more sweet tea, and desert is extremely limited.
Amazing how the weight drops when your body cycles out all of the carbs and refined sugar. Takes about 10-14 days for that to happen, and a lot of people( myself included) go through withdrawal. Anyone who says sugar is not a drug needs to quit it altogether for a week or so.
Congrats on getting that chimp off your back.
Easiest way to lose weight is to stay relatively active. I found that taking my dog for a 1/2-1 mile walk three times a day is enough exercise to at least stay at a base level of health. Most overweight people would find that doing this would easily shave off a pound a week in a healthy way.
I used to work out almost every day and walk 2 miles, even on the rest days for muscle failure and still couldn't drop the weight. Fast forward a few years later, I have cut saturated fats, sugar, and walk as much as I can while doing upper body since it's all my back can handle and the weight is melting off.

A pound of fat is 3500 calories. A 250 pound male at 5'9" walking a 20 minute mile would burn about 480 calories a day. Almost a pound a week.
A pound of venison is 600 calories.( I know different conversation) think about that for a second. A pound of ground beef is almost double that.
was going to say about 500. Wild game is very high in protein but very low calorie. I max my tags every year and a very big chunk of my diet is wild game and fish.

Well, despite physical therapy on a weak ankle, I have managed to stay pretty active and lose ten pounds off the last several weeks. I have made changes in my eating habits. Calorie counting worked, but then I made a shift to more nutrient dense and less processed food and the loss stalled a bit. I think if I start calorie counting within my better food choices, I'll start losing again. Was very active today and want to continue to be, but so do need to watch my progress with this ankle and continue to build strength.
