One of the things you can do is cut your meals in half and eat them more often. So instead of 3 meals a day, try 4 to 6 meals.  You'll start to notice that you by the 5th and 6th meal you will only want about 1 or two bites of each, but make sure you eat them since it will keep you metabolism up.

Good luck, Shakf,  I also trying to get back into the workout mode.  I've kinda let slide this summer.  Gotta get about 10 lbs off and put some muscle back on.

Marz:
Try less cardio and more full body / muscle group exercises. I was doing up to an hour of cardio a day with slow results. I started doing more squats, woddchoppers, rows, crunches, etc. with about 10 min cardio warm up and feel the results much more than before.

Since taking a friends advise to working larger groups of muscles with medium weight  (just enough to do 3-4 sets of 10 reps with about 30-60 sec. break between), I am really beginning to shed belly and love handle fat and reducing my possibilities of growing "mits" or Man boobs.

I have a friend that strictly works with an Exercise ball (swiss ball) with different crunches and core strengthening exercises and he has had a lot of success with not only loosing weight but tightening up.

 

BaldRob:
Another thing you can do is push-ups... probably one of the best upper body conditioning exercises you can do.  Not only do they strengthen your chest and arms, you also work on your back and abs.  Do a web search on them... many different variations to keep them interesting!

Also, as everyone knows, everyone and their brother does studies on exercise... I'm looking for a specific one... basically from what I remember about it, it states that men should do no more than 30 minutes of cardio a day.  More than that will decrease muscle mass... so cut back to 30 minutes of cardio with weight training/calestenics (sp) to lean and tone up faster (as Marz said).
