Yes. But it will take consistency. Here are some suggestions to help with consistency:

Set up a game you can win. Each night write down 3-5 things you'll do tomorrow to move you toward your goals. Only write down things you know you'll accomplish. So it might be your workout, eat breakfast, hug your SO, whatever. But they have to be positives (not "I won't drink a beer.") and they have to be easy to accomplish. Winning each day builds a synergy and as you see progress you'll want to keep it up. And measure your progress by behaviors (JB's guidelines) not by numbers like bf %. Let the numbers improve as a consequence of positive behaviors.

Good luck!
