Ditch the Creatine. Unless you're performing intense athletic endeavors and are under the age of 35, it's doing more harm than good. Your muscles must synthesize Creatine quickly or it aggregates in the bloodstream and leads to cardiovascular issues. It's not worth it.
Bottom line, if your BMI is north of 35%, simply stick to a regimented diet and exercise at a light level only. Diet is 90%+ of any successful weight loss program, and combining a new diet with new exercise routines often ends in failure.
Not to sound like a broken record, but it's just math, folks. A pound of fat is 3500 calories. To lose a pound a week (fat, not water), your caloric intake must be 3500 less than what you expend. A 250 lb man needs roughly 2500 calories a day to maintain weight. Build a 2000 calorie daily diet, stick to that diet, and you will lose 1 pound of fat per week, guaranteed.
Don't worry about exercise; it frequently does more harm than good (extracts fuel from muscles, not fat), and often provides an incentive to cheat. If you still think of pizza, cake, and booze as a "reward", then all the best laid plans will go to waste. The "reward" is fat loss, and it's a mantra that must be obeyed.
The math behind losing weight is simple; performing the math is difficult. Reversing years of bad habits isn't easy, and it requires tremendous discipline. So you gotta ask yourself: do you have what it takes?
