I can actually fit into most of my pants again.

EDIT: Sorry, I accidentally hit 'enter' and posted before I finished typing.

Me too, me too,

I want to lose thirty pounds. I've started walking 1.5 miles 3 times a week, and thinking about my calorie intake.

How'd you do it OP?
 
Yes OP tell us your routine

I am going to the gym every week night starting next week, since my pants don't fit so well anymore
 
I get up at 5a.m. and am at the gym by 5:30 when it opens Mon, Wed, Thurs and Fri. Tuesdays and weekends are off days.

I am also actually eating MORE than what I was while not working out, 3 good meals a day as well as 2 meal replacement shakes. Funny thing is, I'm still hungry at times during the day.

I work usually for 45 min - 70 min depending on what I'm working out that day.

The main thing that I think has helped me is that I'm simply staying consistent with my routing.

While looking in the mirror the other day, I swear I almost saw an abdominal muscle! 😀 (although it could have just been some fat piled up.)

Anyway, if there is interest I'll post my workout routine. It's quite simple.
 
And to add...

It's kind of funny. I've only lost roughly 15 lbs which isn't a whole lot (however I'm much more lean than I was in September) but it all seems to have been lost from my gut area, which I guess explains the belt thing. Meh, I'm not complaining. 😀
 
Are you drinking any carbonated soft drinks? Diet?

Did you used to? How much water are you drinking?

What about carbs?

Which meal replacement shakes are you drinking, got a link?

I actually never really drank soft drinks before, nor do I now. I drink at least 2 litres of water per day (I count 1 litre of that into the 2 shakes I have during the day, because you add 500ml of water to each). Carbs I don't really watch at all. I've only had fast food twice since September, and that was because it was either eat that or not eat at all which I consider to be worse. That's pretty huge to me personally because I used to eat it multiple times a week. As for the meal replacement drinks, I forget the brand name (I can post it when I get home) but it's just a regular meal replacement shake that you can get at any GNC/fitness store. I always go to Popeyes because it's 1 block from work. You just add 4 scoops of the powder to 500ml of water (or milk if you like), shake it up and that's it. They actually don't even taste that horrible. 🙂
