Speaking as a man who recently lost 41 pounds (and a few more since then), I can advise you on the following:
1) Don't comfort eat (I caught myself doing this in front of the TV because I wanted to be doing something while I was vegging out);
2) Cut out soda (yes, it's hard; yes it sucks; the caffeine headaches are el-sucko, but it'll help you lose weight FAST);
3) Stop eating treats (you don't have to give them up for good, but stop eating ice cream, cookies, etc.); and
4) If you're hungry get a glass of water first (a lot of times your brain is confused and thinks it's hungry but your body is likely dehydrated and sending a mixed signal to your brain).
