Guys that are saying "diet" please be more specific...
When I hear the term "diet" I think of it in a bad way because you most likely are restricting you body for the sole purpose to loose weight and that's not always a good thing.
"Eating healthy" is a better way to put it and that should be self explanatory for most. The basic method is: Eat less calories than you burn=weight loss. Yes you can loose weight without exercise, but the results will be far better if you combine proper eating and exercise.
One thing that shocked me was when I looked on the back of a package and saw the calorie count of what I though was a healthy snack. When I was running late in the morning to eat breakfast, I would get to work and buy a Naked Juice and a package of oatmeal cookies(2 in a package) from the cafeteria at work. The oatmeal cookies were 350 calories A PIECE!!! That's 700 caloris for bfast(880 total with the Naked Juice) and I still haven't had lunch or dinner and little snacks between... I'm not a calorie counter, but it doesn't hurt to take a peek at what you are eating because you'll most likely be surprised.
Look into a local crossfit gym, they will help point you in the right direction...

Crossfit would be cool. But thanks to a billing error at a big chain gym that shall remain nameless , I never pay a monthly fee. Basically go for free.

Yeah anything helps. I have a monstrous task ahead of me. I am currently 5'9" and weigh 255. Not looking to be a fitness model. My goal weight is 200.

I was overwhelmed also when I started and thought it would take forever to see any results. Boy was I wrong. Within 4 months I had lost about 45lbs. The hardest part is staying motivated and turning it into a life style.
My recipe:
Exercise - I run 2 miles 3 times a week for a total of 6 miles a week. Mon-Wed-Fri. I also do several sit up and push up routines (10 reps, 3 sets each) everyday including after my run. For a total of 40-45 minutes of strenuous exercise.
Diet - Cut out all junk food, fast food, sodas and candies. Eat as much fish, shrimp, chicken and turkey as possible. Eat oats, yogurts and soups. Also make sure you eat a lot of veggies, fruits and salads. Stay away from non fat free salad dressings. Drink as much water as possible. Drink juices and dairy products in moderation. I'm not a huge calorie counter but I do look at nutrition labels on food to check its fat content. There is almost a lower fat alternative to your favorite foods. Eat smaller more frequent meals. If done correctly you will seldom be hungry.
Bottom line is just be smarter about what you put in your body for fuel.
Like I showed you in my first post if you stick with it you can show quite a bit of personal progress. Ive been at it for a year and now I'm just maintaining but within 6 months of starting I had went from 220 to 170 pounds and Im 5'11".
