Have you ever tried using a calorie journal? I stopped using it regularly (and am now re-fatted a bit) but for the 6 weeks that I used the MyFitnessPal app, I lost about 8 pounds. You have to use it fairly religiously to monitor calorie intake and exercise (calorie burning). It has a very handy bar code reader that immediately puts all the info for most things into your app. Also has a huge data base were you can get a decent ballpark for at least calories which is your biggest concern if you're trying to lose weight. Eating out can be tricky to get everything added into your journal, but a good estimate can be done sometimes, and gives you motivation to eat simpler shit. Having a decent ability to estimate 1 t. vs. 1 T. vs. 1 cup is also helpful.
I've heard FitBits can be used in conjunction with these as well to monitor activity but that's $100 or so.
You have to stop drinking good beer :sadface:, and if you still want to drink, switch to something that is Alcohol and Club Soda, or Water. I suggest Jameson and water, or gin and club soda.
I also hate treadmills but rather enjoy the elliptical because it's easier to watch Netflix (which is key for me to avoid the exhaustion I feel from aerobic stuff). I'm not sure if those are one in the same for you. My weight lifting focuses on lunges, pull-ups, dips, push-ups, various kinds of situps, and various combination exercises that impact several muscle groups at once. I tend to circuit train, moving from exercise to exercise quickly with little rest. Sweating my ass off and keeping my heartrate up.
