So I went from about 240 to 200 back in 2015, and the way I did it was by being poor.
That's kinda flippant, but I really mean it. My staples were the cheapest chicken nuggets and refried beans at whatever store was nearby, I walked everywhere because I needed save my gas to follow my job as it moved between counties, 90% of the time I was drinking free water from a tap near the trailer I was renting, every night I grabbed a bunch of fried food for free before it could get thrown away. My diet was God-awful but what made me lose weight was the fact that I was only getting about 2000 KCal/day and I was moving around a lot, which is enough to live on but not enough to sustain how big I was at the start of that year.
My next job came with a lot more exercise, but I actually gained weight while I had it because once I wasn't living paycheck to paycheck it was really hard not to constantly be eating crap.
