Something I thought I might add to people reading this is don't cut out foods completely straight away. Thats how you end up craving them. I've gone from 106kg to 84kg in about 9 months-1 year, mainly by limiting the junk food intake, regular excersize, and not eating late. I still have take away maybe once a week at the most, but I have been having a few carbs in the late arvo, as I do my excersize first thing in the morning so I don't have the opportunity to eat before it.
Body fat measurments are quite useful if you also start doing weight training, as you may not have lost weight, but you might have lost a bit of body fat.
Also what someone said about weighing yourself often and then averaging it out is spot on. I know I've lost upto 2kg over a weekend if Ive been out and had a few drinks and really don't feel like eating the next day, but the weight comes back on very quickly.
