Exercising's where it's at. I never really drank soda at all, but I do drink beer - and eat well, and for the last few years, I've gone from living a pretty active (in a physical sense) career to sitting on my ass all day, and (a guy with a bigger frame to start) it pushed me up to about 250...
Sick of it (I'm noticing man-boobs), I decided to do something about it... cardio 2 times a day (20 minutes a pop... it's apparently better for you than doing an hour straight) for 4 days a week. Not changing my diet at all, really - I feel if you're hungry for something, you should eat it.
At any rate, I've averaged 1.2 lbs. loss a week for the last 8, and I hope to keep this up for another year or so, and get back to my idea form... without stretch marks, etc.
I also feel like I'm "in shape" again... which is a good thing... as walking up the stairs to my apartment was starting to get me winded.
So, yeah... it might be slower than a drastic diet, but it's steady and healthy. Like was mentioned earlier, it's really about sticking with it.
