1. Decrease your calorie intake focussing mostly on fresh fruits, veggies and protein with only a little fat and carbs. Then increase your activity so that you are getting in 20-30 minutes of cardio every day. And drink plenty of water to help stay hydrated.
2. Stay with what you feel comfortable doing. If you drink soda, start drinking water instead. Don't just run go for walks. join your local YMCA exercise with friends that are going to push you.
3. You need self control !!!!! Eat less, no more french fries and potatoe chips. No more butter or margarine. Cut back on the booze.Get a handle on how many calories you eat per day , bring it down to about 12 00 . Walk as fast as you can for one hour or more - you will get used to it - 6 miles .You will loose 2 - 3 pound per week guaranteed. I was married to a weight loss expert.

5. Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.

6. Here is what you need to do if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Lose weight) and you will have more energry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads) in one and protein (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have any or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross country skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension) (YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. So your body doesnt go into starvation mode, YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stick with this you will have a great body. also drink a least 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonalds, Wendys, etc because there is nothing good for you on the menus - even the salads are bad (bacon bits, cheese, dressing, etc) Good Luck :)
7. No heavy meals at night. After 7pm no food intake, if hungry go for 1 or 2 slices of whole meal bread or fruit. Go for Brown Rice ( which have vitamin) White Rice will make you fat. No fried food or tibits. Don't sit after food intake.
