53 pounds in 6 months

So 5'8. Starting weight was 230 lbs. Current weight: 177 lbs. I didn't really diet although I have lowered my portions and in general eat more veggies/healthier options. However, I still eat carbs everyday (rice, pasta, etc). I was never a soda/junk food person so that part is easy. As far as exercise, I do exercise a lot, I do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (martial art), and I started training 3 times a week for the first 2.5 months and I've ramped it up to 6 times a week. I also used to consistently go to the gym 4-5 times a week but I stopped for a while because of some minor injuries, and now I'm sick so I haven't done physical activity all week. I also do sometimes walk back from the gym to my house (1 hour), I would say this has increased a lot more in frequency...now I do it multiple times a week. I would say not going into meals with the intention to become full and "fulfilled" and the exercise are key. I do not count calories (although I will peak to see out of curiosity), I think with good discipline that is unnecessary, and it sounds like a pain honestly. I still have goals of maybe reaching a maintenance weight of 165 lbs and a competition weight of 160 or less (BJJ). Good luck to everyone~!
