You haven't been eating at all, or have dropped all other beverages in favor of water?
If you have stopped eating, that isn't a good thing. If you dropped soda and juices, good for you bro! I'll opt for the second, as it makes more sense. Keep it up, its worth it. I'm down near fifty from my weight seven months ago. It takes time, but its worth it.

I've just cut out soda but am eating regularly. I also started at the gym last week.

Helpful hint: You need a deficit of 3,500 calories to lose 1 pound of fat. (roughly speaking) You also need to overeat by that amount to gain a pound of fat. Broken into steps: Talk to a nutritionist to find what your daily burn rate is. This is the number of calories you need to consume to maintain your weight at its current level. Then, take that number and reduce it by about 500 or so calories. Keep a record of what you eat, and what you burn. If you have a smartphone, try MyFitnessPal. They have a calculator that keeps record of what you input, and does the math for you. LiveStrong also have a very good one. When you work out, don't try to do too much at first. The idea isn't to train for a marathon, its gradual weight loss. You didn't put the weight on in a week, it won't come off in a week. Take it slow, take it easy. 3-4 times a week or moderate exercise. I recommend light aerobic, and some weights. DO NOT TALK TO A PERSONAL TRAINER AT A BIG GYM. These asshats feel that the best way to impress you is to smoke you your first day. All that will do is make you too sore to come back tomorrow. Just use an eliptical, a bike or a treadmill for about 30 minutes at an easy pace to start. Then build up from there. Keep it up bro. I am rooting for you.

I'm going to a pretty small gym, we mainly concentrate on cardio then we throw some punches for a bit. I'm trying to go 3 times a week for an hour and 30 minutes each visit.

Good for you man! Cardio will help you lose a lot of fat. Then you can start lifting to gain muscle after you're down to a healthy weight.

That sounds about right. In the beginning don't overdo it. You want to lose weight, and that's a good thing, so you will naturally want to do as much as possible. The problem is that your muscles and cardiovascular system isn't used to doing this stuff yet. So take it slow. The idea is to gradually build up to a great workout, not start there.
