A few things I've done to cut down:
Biking to work instead of taking the bus.
Cooking my own food. (I still eat at Burgerville and Taco Bell sometimes, but I get 1 burrito at TB now instead of 3, and at Burgerville I eat either a Salmon Salad with lemon and vinegar for dressing, or a double hamburger dry instead of with cheese and mayo-sauce)
Eating more veggies

cook em with a piece of chicken if you don't like how broccoli tastes

The bottom line for weight loss, is what you don't burn, you store. And if you burn more than you take in, then you lose

Weight watchers is a good way to go, because it's structured, but not to the point of killing you, and it's made to be easy to adhere too.
And on Soda, I drink only the natural sugar sodas now, and only about 2 a week, and I've noticed it's made a difference. If you need the caffeine , tea (especially green tea) or black coffee is the way to go. It took me a while to like coffee, but after a few weeks, I got used to it (I found that ice helped a lot).
I've also noticed, that now that I'm 50lbs lighter, I'm much happier. Getting up is easier, getting stuff done is easier, and I don't wheeze going up the stairs anymore

(Working on quitting smoking has helped a lot there).
Good luck to everyone trying to get into better shape!
