3 square meals (read sensible, no triple big macs!) a day and whatever fruit and veg you want to eat should do it. So for example have a cereal breakfast (hold the sugar!) with a cup of tea, then a sandwich or two and fruit for your dinner and a decent hot meal for tea, chilli and rice, spag bol, whatever really.
3 hours exercise is a little excessive, I'd recommend building up towards an hour of anaerobic exercise. Sit-ups and dumb bell weight routines are excellent to bulk out muscle in the right areas. Then follow through with aerobic exercise either running, cycling or using a rope for skips are all great techniques for cardiovascular work. Just gradually work to a safe limit then keep pushing that stamina further with each exercise session.
Music is also essential, I find techno or aggressive metal hits the spot.
Hmmm this is rock solid sound advice. Inteligent advice that with time will work. I have neither. Sadly. (intelligence or time!)
3 hours again today.
I'm sort of used to it these days. I've been peddlingly like a hamster or aerobics for 45 mins a day for months (6 or 7 anyway). Sadly, as is always the case, vast quantities of free beer loomed into my I.T corporate view like giant beer-berg, and there I was on the good Ship Free-Gin-Tonic --and I was thirsty - and a little hungry. I haven't had beer in a 3 weeks. And the weight is falling off. 12Kgs lost now.
anyone thinking of doing the same, let me remind you of few facts:
Exercise may be healthy, but it's boring as hell.
People who enjoy exercise at the gym are boring as hell.
Smoking maybe unhealthy but... better shut up

(something about smoking women that I shouldn't repeat.)
Drinking maybe unhealthy, it really does pass the time. And drunk women are ace. This is a fact. Unless they are skinny and/or don't wear make-up and/or have boring hair. Each of which is a sure fire sign to avoid them if they have a beer in their hands. You easily end up dealing with a complex or anger. Neither is much fun.
Dining out is expensive but it beats the hell out of Atkins Diet bars.
I've decided - once I'm ... I'm over my weight complex, possibly in many years from now... I'm going to die like Oliver Reed rather than Micheal Jackson.
[Edit] you have to excuse me... I've just finished my last hour for the day. It's about 30Degrees and I could murder an Ice Cold beer. Hmmm. I like Budweiser Light. in a chilly glass

Real Chilly. but no... no... no... stare at telly, read dull I.T books.
