I have lost a little less than 15 pounds in two weeks. I wasnt on a diet and havent changed my very poor eating habits. The only big difference is that I eat a lot more foods with protein in them. And everyday I eat a whole can of progresso soup (chicken noodle- 18g protein or steak-20g protein). Other than that I eat very bad. I workout 3 times a week and run 2 (all of this with my football team). This past week I started to eat the same stuff but with 2.5hr breaks in between. So when I come home from running or lifting, I'll eat the soup and a sandwich. 2.5 hrs later, I'll eat somethin my mom makes or a frozen dinner. And so on..
Well anyway I dont know what it is but its working. The only thing thats bad about it is that I cant see any difference.

Not sure what you mean by you can't see a difference. maybe enlist someone else to render an opinion. Sometimes we just can't see ourselves accurately.
I'd say that there is definately a difference if you have dropped 15 pounds and your strength is not suffering for it but I would be very careful if this trend continues. This type of rapid weight loss, especially in someone who already exercises, may indicate that you are losing a lot more water weight than you should. So make sure you are drinking water, a lot of water.

I meant that I cant see a difference. I guess your right mda, because I am very overweight (6'1 247 as of today).

Hey, as someone who started as 6'3" 308, I take offense, um, er, wait a sec, never mind 
Yeah, know what you mean but this mornings weight in showed 283. WOOT!!!!
Keep at it, try to eat less processed foods and you should see results soon. Just make sure that you keep drinking plenty of water, hydration is critical to consistent weight loss.
What kinds of workouts are they? Could you post a weeks worth here?

About my diet.....On the weekends I dont eat as much and could maintain a healthy diet. But my biggest problem is during the 5 workdays. I eat cereal in the morning (special k or cheerios), dont eat at school, and then when I come home after practice, running, or lifting I over eat. These past two weeks I have been good with that though, havent eaten as much. I would it at school but I have an early lunch period so its like a second breakfast and I'm not hungry. I plan on doing the Blast Your Bench program over the summer, and with that I iwll maintain a good diet.

Monday
bench- 10 reps 50% of max, 8 reps 60% of max, 6 reps 70% of max, 4 reps 80% of max, 2 reps 90%of max
we do this for about 30 minutes (linemen do bench first LBs and RBs do cleans and deadlifts and DBs and WRs do squats). In this session we also do incline bench where we do the same thing as the regular bench minus 20 pounds. So if i did 135 for 10 reps on the regular bench i would do 10 reps of 115 on the incline. In addition we do dips.
Next we switch. My group (linemen) go to deadlifts and cleans.
On cleans I usually do this ( I increase each set 5-10 pounds every month)
135- 10 reps (start at knees)
135- 10 reps (powerclean)
145- 10 reps (powerclean)
145- 8 reps (start at knees)
155- 6 reps (powerclean)
165- 2 reps (powerclean)
For Deadlift I do 10-8-6-4-2 like the bench except I try to keep myself from going above 275 on the last set so I wont get tired before I squat.
In this session i also workout my triceps, i just dont remember the names of the exercises.
Next we switch and my group goes to the squat area.
For the squat I do the same thing as on bench (10-8-6-4-2).
I also do another machine ( i dont know what its called). It works your explosion. It combines legs and chest. It looks somethin like the squat cage except you push it forward in the front. I also do leg curls for my quads and hams.
Tuesday
We warm up with stairs. We do them for about 15 minutes. We do 3 times up regular. 3 times up skipping one step. 3 times up skipping two steps. 2 times up on one leg. 2 times up hoping one both legs. 2 times up hopping on both legs while skipping a step.
Then we run sprints between 6-12 sprints of 70 yds or 110 yds depending on the coaches mood and our work ethic.
Wednsday and Friday are the same as Monday.
Thursday is either the same as Tuesday or we do the stairs and plyometrics.

I understand what he's saying perfectly. You see yourself every day, and you don't really notice the changes. Hell, I look at myself today, and I still think I look as fat as I was when I started working out last year, and I'm over 45 pounds down. The only time I can tell the difference is when I look at the pictures of myself from back then.
Take some pictures of yourself, iworkout, it's amazing how different you look in them than you do in your memory.
