trying to lose some weight

Lately I've been pretty unhappy with my weight and have decided to do something about it.

I'm not a tiny person in any way, that is not to say I'm fat - I'm just a big dude. I'm 6'5" and not exactly skinny. When I started this endeavor I was weighing about 275-280, I'm gonna shoot for 265 in the first stage and see who that works out for me. If I can be successful with that, then maybe 255 is in the cards. Under 255 is not really a reasonable goal for me right now, but if I can hit that number and maintain it for a while, I might reconsider.

So, all I have been doing so far is watching what I eat - and eating the serving size instead of 2 or 3 servings. I've tried to cut down on sugar and carbs, drinking green teas and spending 30-45 minutes a day exercising. That doesn't sound like much but I do a bunch of sit ups, use the home gym and hit the treadmill for 30 minutes.

I have seen some improvement so far and my scales showed 268 today. So, I'm on my way to the first goal.
