Topic says it all, I'm currently 10 or so kilos overweight and have decided its time for this excess bagage to go. I've cut out all alchohol, almost all take-away food and a lot of meat from my diet. My breakfast now consists of freshly prepared fruit and vegtable juice and dinner consists primarily of fresh fruit and vegtables. So far so good, I've been going for five days now and I've already shed 2 kilos, plus my overall energy levels have increased, wish me luck. :-) :-) :-)

Good luck, dude!
I'm in the same situation myself: I have about 30 kgs of un-wanted fat. It's not as much as it sounds (I am rater tall, after all), but it has to go according to my doctor. :-D

So far I've started to walk home from work (takes about an hour), I try to take my bike when I'm going somewhere, and I'm cutting out on the junk food.
Hopefully I'll look nice and slim in july! :-D (yeah, right...)

Ok, 30 kilometres is little to far to walk, but it would be a nice ride if you get yourself a good bike.
Last summer, I lost 12 kgs in a couple of weeks just by taking the bike instead of the bus. (not to mention that it was actually faster... :-D)

Getting a dog is also quite effective.

Do sit-ups and press-ups before you go to bed (30 should do, but you won't be able to do that many at first!).

Aw, come on! Just because you weigh too much, you don't neccesarily have to be untrained! :-P

/me can do 50...

@Red
Yep! That works fine. However, one should be careful so that your body doesn't take damage, and you shouldn't give the body a shock by cutting the carbs without a ramp-down.

Hehe! My doctor recomended a low-everything diet for me. I am to cut all crap totally, and keep the general food consuption low. I also have to walk for at least one hour every day.
So far I have stopped eating candy, and started to excersize. :-D
