I used to do 2 - 4 hours of Brazilian jiu-jitsu 3 to 4 times a week and jog 5 miles 2 times a week. I lost 5 lbs over several months. Then I stopped jogging because I hated it but kept doing BJJ and cut carbs and alcohol and lost 30 lbs in 3 months.
Cutting carbs works for me too (in fact it's about the only thing that works any more).
Exercise seems to have less effect as you get older.
But I have to cut waaay back ... like, for instance, a small amount of carbs at breakfast and none for the rest of the day.
But I like bread, and pasta, and rice ... damn it ...
