90% of your losing weight comes with diet.... if you're doing something like ECA and eating the crap you used to it, it isnt gonna stay off, and you lose a lot of water weight, so it looks good one the scale, but your body fat will go nowhere and if it does it will be temporary...... i was 5'10 and 273 at about 25-30 bodyfat..... now im about 260 and at 18% i got my diet straight... worked like that for a couple of months and then went to the ECA cuz i knew i had everything else in balance.... the most important thing that i never did till i really started seeing the bodyfat shed was drink a lot of water and lift.... as you put on muscle you will need more calories to keep it going, so you burn off more claories no matter what you do when you add pounds of muscle to yourself.... and dont go by the scale cuz if you are burning fat and putting on muscles the numbers are gonna mess with your head... at beginning of spring last year i was about 250, started with my ECA and by the time school was out (may) i was only 245, but i dropped about 10% of my bodyfat.... so dont rely solely on numbers you wont always get what you're lookin for...... and drink as much water as possible try for an ounce of water to every pound of bodyfat thats what worked for me.... keep up your cardio and lift lift lift.... again with the ECA or clen..... they both work like i said if you got your diet in check and can keep it there.... it worked for me so im not gonna tell you not to do it, just wait a bit till you are ready.... good luck bro
