Basically what I did from 255-244 wasn't too much. Counted calories, stayed at about my RMR, but cut out a lot of sugar and fat. Snacked on veggies instead of junk when I absolutely needed to eat something. For exercise I rode my bike a couple hours every other day, exploring some nearby trails with friends. I also did some light weight training, going more for endurance than anything. Also in general just got up more. I was never a soda drinker, and I drink skim instead of whole milk, and whole grain instead of white bread. Little things go a long way when first starting out. Make some simple yet effective changes that you can live with in the beginning. It'll help you gradually get healthier, and boost your willpower for the tougher stuff later on. Took about 2-3 weeks to lose the first 15 pounds, then I hit a bit of a plateau. I think I was just putting on a lot more muscle, along with my fat loss, but I went between 244-240 for a good while. That's when I stepped up to the HIIT, better weight training, and an even better diet.
