I've dropped 3-4 pound in the last week and a half following that same routine with 30-60 min of exercise a day.

#1 flipped my eating times - nice bowl of meusli (bran/dried fruit/oats) in the morning and a white tea no sugar instead of nothing and a coffee with 1.
decent lunch.. half a vegie burger instead of a full vegie burger or half what i would normally have because lunch is no longer breakfast as well and finally a light salad for dinner instead of a big meal with an occasional dessert.

#2 30-60 min of exersice a day - 30 min on an exercise bike watching tv in the morning.. 30 min watching tv at night. Some free weights on alternative days - just 10lb dumbells for long sets.

#3 no bad snacking.. no saying "yes" when one of the guys goes for a store run for icecreams.. eating plums or apricots during the day instead of ice creams, iced coffees, chocolate bars, dessert yogurt.

#4 No soda. green tea instead of coke for a pick me up, ginger cordial mixed weak with water instead of ginger beer. I don't really eat "low fat" things because it usually means high sugar and i don't eat "diet" things because it's artificial sweeteners and whatnot. I don't need coke enough to drink horrible diet coke. I just drink something else.

#5 no carbs. No unessecary bread.. no longer making a sandwich out of everything, no coconut rice with thai takeaway, just the main vegetable is enough by itself on the one night a week i get takeout.

I know it's too early to be going on about anything, but it's all commonsense stuff i've picked up by osmosis and my "tight" pants are starting to slip a bit after not even a fortnight so im happy.. my goal is a 20 pounds loss.. just need to keep it up which shouldn't be too hard.. im not really noticing any bad effects.. not hungry or anything just a bit of a pain in the ass to switch eating habits when your partner hasn't as much. But yeah.. I'm an all or nothing kinda guy.. just need to make sure i stick with it for 6 months and incorporate a lot of it into a permanent lifestyle. But once I'm at my desired weight or under it I'll add a few of the treats back in occasionally or do whatever the hell i want for one day a week so long as the other 6 are good and exercise filled.
You've just got to decide to do it.. it's surprising easy... probably the biggest thing is really listening to when your body tells you you're full and not just finishing whats in front of you because it's there... it's suprising how much extra you can eat because of that.

Good luck to anyone starting.. it doesn't take long to see results which are the best motivator to keep on going.. I'm kinda surprised myself.. i expected to notice after a month.. not two weeks. Then again i've never really tried to lose weight before.. only get a bit fit and workout with swimming and weight training which didn't really move the weight as much as a slimming diet and aerobic exercise will just redistributed it to muscles.
