I've lost 15 pounds over the last couple of months . . . we go to the gym usually 4-5 days a week. Three of those days is cardio w/ weight training, two are just cardio. I usually eat some sort of cereal or oatmeal for breakfast, Healthy Choice/Lean Cuisine-ish meal for lunch, and for dinner we'll either have another HC or LC or we'll make something, usually chicken or pork loin, with a side of veggies. I also make sure I eat SOMETHING every three hours, and I definitely make it a point not to feel like I'm hungry all of the time. No food = body goes into storage mode.
I've been told, and I believe it, that the weight training is the key, as lean muscle makes your body burn more calories. We had some family in town and a vacation in September and ate like pigs and I only put back on a pound. I've done diet alone and the weight went back on very quickly.
