SF, man, I know right where you are. I am down from 290 to 260 right now. I have been hitting the gym 2 hours a day 4 or 5 days a week. The trick is to get an MP3 player and load that puppy up. I don't diet, but I do try and eat less. Just try to get a feel for it. You might have more trouble with the portion control than I have had, though, because you have all that fine English ale there for the slugging, but bear up. Try to stick to two pints most nights. Use saccharin instead of sugar in your tea (if you drink tea - if you drink to coffee, switch to tea after the first three cups), It seems to work in tea better than any other drink.
If you really really really want to do the hardcore, lose weight now thing, weight watchers works really really well, and they have a web based tracking system you can use for free. If you want to know more about that, PM me and I'll put you in touch with my wife. She's lost over 100 lbs on it while I have been losing 30 by my method.
