Worst most physically debilitating thing I have done is to run 1 block then walk 1, sprint 2, walk 2, etc till I get as far as I can - I useually do this as a finish to a workout - have your barf bag ready 
but I havent done it much lately - thats why ive been getting fat no doubt

It's been almost 3 weeks....
since I started, and I went from 230.5lbs to 218.5lbs. I feel leaner then ever, and people keep telling me I'm gettin big...lol---guess you do look bigger when your lean.
Huge difference in my stomach, can see abs...lol. Face also looks a lot leaner and tight.
Overall, my strength has remained pretty constant. I've lost about a rep on all upper body excercises. My legs lost a little more strength, squats down about 15lbs. I really don't care right now though, just wanna get down to 8-10% BF...I'm at around 13% right now.
As far as my diet, for my first two meals I eat carbs/protein, and my last four meals are protein/fat....usualy chicken with flax oil or fish oil caps. Sunday I basically eat whatever I want all day long....pizza, ice cream, whatever......

Hey bro, good to see you. You know after reading your post my first thought was that it seems excessive. Are you planning on doing any stim's before these cardio workouts? It might be a good idea to leave these out since you'll be working the heart as hard you will be. Just a thought bro, good luck with it.

Glad you are seeing results. Hate to be a spoil-sport, bu this doesn't sound like HIIT though
Real HIIT for 16 mins if you've never done it before is nigh impossible. Going MAX out for 30sec followed by a 60sec 'rest', then rinse & repeat... no HIIT beginner can manage that for a full 15 mins.
5-8mins (after warm up) of HIIT 3x week is plenty to get lean.
You are probably doing 'standard' interval training, which works fine, yes.
