At your bodyfat level avoid AS it wont do you any good. You dont need to work out harder you need to work out smarter.
What does your "mainly cardio" consist of?
If your calories are too low you wont lose weight, you need to workout in a fashion that jacks your metabolism and make sure your only cutting a couple hundred cals from maint and the fat will melt off. If its not hit up your doc for some bloodwork you couyld have low test and/or high estrogen.

You say you mainly do cardio. What do you do for cardio, how long and at what intensity?
Also, you say you are in sales so you eat out a lot and entertain. Do you drink a lot also?

Thanks for all the great advise. I do not know what my bf% is. I emailed to make an appt for a bodpod testing. For cardio I go do interval training. I push my self real hard for about 2 mins and then lay go down a little for 2 min. I do that for about an hour. I try to alternat between the eliptical and the bike. I have done the tread mill but my shins start hurting after about 10 mins. I dont drink alot at all. Once in a while I will have a beer or something. Then maybe two or three times a year I will go get wasted with my buddies. But I usally dont drink wit my clients. I am on a few mood altering drugs as well like depakote, celexia, zanix. I need some one to help me set up a diet. I live alone right now as I am seperated from my wife but I have my kids two nights a week so it is difficult to set a routine.

I know it sounds counter-intuitive but you gotta eat to lose. Cheerios for breakfast? Really bro, you need to be eating a big breakfast and that doesnt mean a big ass burrito or some gas station shit. Something good like eggs, oatmeal, whole wheat toast, or like i do and have all 3. You gotta reprogram yourself and how you view eating. A good breakfast jump starts your metabolism for the whole day. Eat like crap and expect crappy results. Try writing down every single thing you put in your mouth for 1 week. I mean everything. I promise you it will open your eyes. And write down the nutritional data as well. Then you have road map to see where your going.

^^I think the above advice about tracking everything you eat is a great place to start. It will give you some idea of how much you really are eating. We often think we know but really don't until we track it. Then you can make changes based on that, figure out a daily calorie goal and build a diet around that. While I think it's great to know bf%, if $$ is at all an issue, given your stats, I'd wait to get a bodpod done. You can take some pics, use the measuring tape etc etc and it really shouldn't change how you structure a diet. Just my 2 cents on that. It's nice info to have but not necessary to start out.
P.S. Don't feel silly about asking about steroids. I think most of us have probably been there at some point, looking for the quick answer to something. AAS won't really help you at this point, as others have said. There are plenty of great products here for fat burning, energy, cutting etc that will help but I'd really focus on getting an eating plan together, a solid training plan and see where that takes you to start.

Yeah man you def need to get your diet in check, if you figure it out like Rick said, you can lost 30lbs a month. After that if you still want supplements take like need2slin, non stimulant that will help you burn some carbs and maybe push you over the hump before you try any cycles.
Ok I will post my diet. If I am being good I will start out with a bowl of cherio.Then I will bring for lunch like grilled chicken. Dinner will be something like a flank steak and some garlic spiked broccoli. But If I am being bad or had a bad day. I will start out with a breakfast burrito then maybe skip lunch and go out to eat and have a steak or something. I am in sales and do alot of entertaing of clients. so I tend to eat out alot. I know I could do the work at the gym but I just want something that takes my apptitie away. So i dont want to eat. Then I feel I would have better control on what I eat. BTW I kinda feel like a dumbass for thinking steroids would help me lose weight.
Absolutely don't feel retarded for asking questions. At least you're doing it here and not some dipshit from youtube. So no sweat there.
You shouldnt want to stop yourself from the desire to eat, 5-6 smaller meals a day is what you need and your body will need time to adapt to your new eating habits, just like sleeping habits. Our bodies are great at adapting. Just dont over do it on the carbs and the fats. My mate went from 160kg to 90 kgs in under a year - yeah it takes a long time but hey, it will be worth it in the end! Pretty sure his diet was good but not great, he just did alot of cardio and weights. So with a good diet I am sure you can get where u want to be a bit quicker! good luck.
