a year ago i switched to a desk job, and due to my complete lack of physical movement at work and little activity since leaving highschool (with the exception of the occasional paintball day) i have managed to gain about 20 pounds and a couple of inches on my waist. how do i lose this!!! before talking to my doctor (i need to go in anyway) i want some real-world succes/failure stories. would removing fastfood from my diet and running a couple times a week be able to remove that fat? i used to run regularly for a while, but i never noticed any fat lose, just muscle gain.

any advice or laughing would be welcome.
