Funny note; I bought all brand new jeans right before starting P90X2 and eating better. They are all 38's and now none of them fit without a belt. Also, the belt that when I started my new job last March was on the second to the biggest notch, is now on the second to the smallest, and I can go to the smallest notch comfortably.
Good work man! I've been able to go down a belt notch too since the start of the year.
I'm actually more excited at the prospect of getting new/better clothes when I lose weight!

Lost 2 lbs this week! I have finally started exercising. I am lifting weights, so I expect to see a slowdown of weight loss on the scales as I lose fat and gain muscle weight.
In other news, I finally bought myself a new pair of jeans, I now fit a 34" waist pair where as before I was barely fitting a 38" pair. Hoooray
As of today I'm 185.8 lbs

Just about one of the easiest things you can do, and yet one of the most effective!
I am still hovering around 185 lbs. Tough to lose past that, but I still feel great!

Had a getaway with some friends for various birthdays so much food and beer was consumed. Also I had the whole week off from working out as a rest week for P90X2, back on the ball this week.

I've been doing the fitness stuff for a little while now, and I'm nearing on my goals. I record my weight daily, so I'll just give you all a weekly update from what I've been doing since Jan 1st.

Exercise - Work out 6 times a week, P90, gym weight lifting, cardio on elliptical and treadmill and some outdoors (it's been cold).
Diet - Moderate calorie restriction (average about 2250 calories a day I guess), high protein focus, lower carb focus (100-300g carbs a day, usually about 220-ish). Supplements of fish oil and whey protein after workouts.

I'm not weighing myself this week because I ate horribly yesterday (pizza and beer and soda. Damn game night) and I don't want to become discouraged by seeing a spike. But I'll be back next saturday to weigh in!
Glad to see people doing well

I was away on the 26th (and I ate too much from Thur-Mon morning for damn sure). That or starting to post here has jinxed me.
Either way I won't have trouble getting back into the swing of things, and I should be relatively safe from excess temptation for a while.

Question for those of you that have had a fairly decent weight loss - what have you been doing differently from before?
I've changed my eating and exercise habits but I'm not seeing any difference on the scale, though I have noticed a bit of a difference in the mirror.

Could be you're gaining muscle and losing fat, which may be why you're not losing much weight initially. If that's the case I believe building muscle will help you burn fat and lose more weight, eventually.
Here's what I've been doing:
-cut back on fast food and eating out
-limit portions (no seconds at dinner)
-no more late night snacking
-exercising every weekday (alternating cardio (fast walking) and strength training every other day)
So far I've lost about 15 pounds.
