You can walk, that's easy and free.  Strength training is great too, or working out in a pool.  Definitely cut your food intake as well.

Been researching this for a while, as my significant other is trying to lose weight for the army.  The total best healthiest way to do it is to keep a food diary and get a calorie counter book and keep it under 1200 calories a day.  This is like non-sugar cereal with fruit and skim milk for breakfast, tukey sandwich with no cheese or mayo and fruit or a half cup soup for lunch and lean meat with a huge salad for dinner.  It's working for us, at a loss of two pounds per week.  Good luck!

I have been on a quest to lose weight and I have tried all sorts of things, but the best way is calorie counting.  Let's see if you are 200 you eat around 2640cals a day to maintain that weight.  For each lb you want to lose you have to eat 500cals less than you would daily.\n\nI'm always tring to lose weight, and i'm a chocolate addict, I bought a food journal and I've wrote in it 21days today.  I started at 197 and I'm down to 190.  Sometimes I cheat, but I still write it down.  I don't drink any kind of drinks, and I haven't since I was little.  I barely drink juice, juice the 1/2the calories oj.  But count your calories, try to snack on fruits or veggies, I must is water i drink at least 2 liter bottles a day.  This will make you not feel so hungry, I make sure I drink alot while i'm eating.  If you don't like the taste of water, use the crytral lite stuff or the fruit flavored water at walmart.  If you don't drink enough water or eat to much salt you can retain water which makes you heavier.  \n\nI bought a neoprene belt, I don't get alot of exercise so I wear it when i go grocery shopping, it makes you sweat alot around your belly, helping get rid of it.  I also made sure i had measuring cups, food scales, and I go on calorieking.com, they have a database where i search for what i'm about to eat and find out how many calories it has in it.  \n\nIn the grocery store i stopped buying the things i usually get that has the most calories.  If i don't see it in the kitchen, i don't want it.  I buy parkay spray butter, it is so yummy, it has no calories.  Wonder bread lite has only 40 calories per slice, now anytime in the store i look at the label and i think about how bad it is for me and put it back.  I have one cabinet in my kitchen that only has snack foods and nothing else.  So when i'm cooking I won't have to get anything out, I used to keep snacks on the top of the frige, that wasn't a good thing at all.  They have 100 calorie packs now, those are really yummy, but i love the "gripz" the keebler choc chip cookie kind are great, and only 120cals, they're really tiny cookies, so i eat a couple at a time and they last much longer than the 100cal packs.  \n\nA great jumpstart to a diet is the juice diet, there's celebrity juice diet and hollywood.  Hollywood you get at walmart.  Celebrity at gnc.  It's a two day diet and when i used it a few months ago i lost 6lbs.  The bottle say up to 10lbs in 2 days.  I literally shrinks your stomach, so after the two days, so can't hold as much food.  The celebrity in the orange bottle tastes best, it's like really sweet pineapple orange juice.  If you decide to do the juice diet be careful, i usually cheat on the diet a little, like a piece of toast w/no cal butter or a few crackers.  See the diet is just juice and water for two days, I usually get light headed, so i eat a little on it.  I have no will power too, so you just have to keep yourself busy where you're not thinking about food.  But both kinds of juice diets have all your vitamins and stuff, so you wouldn't have to worry about that.\n\nUmm, I've got lots of other ideas, just let me know.  Like i've said i've tried all sorts of things.  I've been an off and on dieter since i was 14 and i'm almost 22 now.  So good luck on whatever you decide.

The quickest way isn't always the best way or the right way for you. Here are 3 different approaches that work:\n\n1) The quickest by far is surgery, of course. Liposuction is fast and works wonders- but actual stomach reductions (stapling, bypass etc) have not only been proven effective for weightloss but also in reducing the chances you'll develop adult onset diabetes.\n\n2) Next fastest is to eat a diet of 80% natural fats and 20% protein, in 5 small portions, with a target of 1000 calories a day. This is like eating a 2 oz bag of macadamia nuts, or 2 oz of egg salad or tuna salad as a complete meal, every meal. It works- and for any significant amount of weight it's better than starvation. More importantly the high fat content of the diet ensures that your body continues to produce the hormones you need to retain muscle tissue- so you lose fat pounds and not muscle pounds.\n\n3) Probably the best long term solution to lose weight and improve your health is to follow a light excercise routine several times per week, and to eat a diet that is high in fiber and has a low glycemic index (that is- eat foods that are low in processed sugar and grains, preferring when you eat carbohydrates to try whole grains and natural sugars).

The fastest way to lose weight is to elevate your heart rate as many times and and as high as you can safely elevate it. Eat small portions of meals many times a day instead of really big portions only a few times a day. Jump rope rules. Anything running or sprinting will burn a super amount of calories, incomparable to weight lost just dieting.\n\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php

You need to create a calorie deficit...In other words you have to either eat less or burn more ( work out). A combination of eating a little less and burning more is an awesome way to lose weight. I have lost over 30 pounds by just watching what I eat, and starting to run again ( the working out part)

I really think most diet and energy pills are a scam.  It is still possible to lose weight effectively without those things.  I suggest going to a track somewhere and walk a lap jog a lap, and repeat this as much as you can.  Start slow and gradually move your way up.  If you cant jog a full lap just try your best.  Dont drink soda, and stay away from fast food.  Just dont snack alot eat decent meals but nothing inbetween.  Light weight training would also be a great help.  I promise if you do these simple things at a moderate pace you will see a difference in two weeks!

As you know diet and excercise is the number one way to lose the pounds.  But then again...as we all know...we dont always have the time or energy to do so.  So here is my advice which worked for my sis....eat small meals throughout the day...none of this 3 meals a day nonsence.  The key word is small meals...like have fruit,cereal, or something light for snacks...eat half a sandwich for lunch instead of a whole...u can constantly eat like that throughout the day without gaining cause your body has more time to burn off the calories.  Plus...you'll notice you'll start to get full quicker.  Don't eat past seven....body is too relaxed and if your like me...im lucky if my brain functions after 6 ish....lol!  Last but not least...dont over excercise...some crunches and leg lifts..steches before bed each night...you should do great...wish ya the best!  My sis lost around 45 lbs in less than 4 months...and she wasnt faithful to it...so you'll be awesome.

Running is far more efficient. The fastest way to lose weight is to elevate your heart rate as many times and and as high as you can safely elevate it.

losing weight is not very easy, especially for starters. but giving a little effort would assure you of a really safe and effective weight loss. a low-carb, low fat, high-fiber diet is the best diet. this is a sample menu, about 1200 calories the whole day. you will not spend a lot, and you will not feel hunger.\n\nbreakfast:\n1 pc toast / sliced bread\n1 pc banana or apple\n1 glass of milk\ntea or coffee with low cal sweetener (or sugar)\n\n10 am snack:\n1 banana or apple OR\n10 pcs of berries OR\n1 cup popcorn\n1 glass lemonade or juice\n\nlunch:\nopen sandwich (no bread on top) containing:\n1 slice of smoked ham (about 60 grams)\ntomatoes, lettuce, onion\n1 glass juice/lemonade/tea\n\n4pm snack:\n3 pcs of oreo cookies OR\n1 palmful peanuts OR\nany medium sized fruit\n\ndinner:\n1 100-gram cut of lean meat (if chicken, no skin)\n1 1/2 golfball size serving mashed potato or pasta\nup to 2 cups of green veggies or steamed carrots and peas\ndessert: any medium fruit OR\n1 golfball size of low fat ice cream or sorbet\n1 cup of coffee or tea\n\nyou can do variations of this sample plan. very low cost (not totally no cost of course), and low maintenance. you will not feel any hunger at any time of the day. the best thing is, these foods are definitely available in your own house, probably also the things you eat daily. and you will not deprive yourself so binging and mood swings will be avoided.\n\nthrow in some exercise while you're at it: jogging, weightlifting for muscle development, pilates for flexibility (there are websites that show some basic pilates moves), powerwalking for stamina building. even regular day to day activities help - walking to the bus station, bicycling to the supermarket, mopping the floor, you can even do some jogging in-place while watching TV. remember that a well balanced diet and regular exercise is still the best. not only will you be kept trim, you will also stay healthy.\n\nremember that there are no quick-fix diets and exercises. starving yourself and pushing yourself to extreme exhaustion would only lead to even more dangers, and a higher medical cost. the best way to achieve your goal and to get a healthier body is to incorporate a well balanced diet and enough exercise in your daily life.

I am a strong believer of the only way to get what you want. I lost 40 pounds last summer when I was 14. I did by eating healthy and exercise. If you don't want to do the exercise then step up on the diet, you need to find a balance. Also in walk. Like I know it does not seem like alot, but every extra step can do alot. Even if it is passing out papers in class.

I bought a treadmill that says how many pounds you've lost and it really encouraged me to keep going and lose weight.\nAnd I did! If you can't afford one try taking a daily run around your neighborhood or on a bikepath or just run! Running is the quickest way; I'm a believer!

Ok, now if you really want to get rid of some weight (note I did not say "lose" because we have a little thing about trying to find stuff we lose)the basic idea is to burn more calories than what is being put in.  Lots of activity and less burgers, fries, etc.

None really work. Read the labels...they ALL say the same thing. Something along the lines of "if you take this pill with a calorie-reduced diet and regular exercise, you MAY lose weight." Even the so-called natural ones carry dangers with them that are not worth it.\n\nThere's only one safe way to lose weight effectively, and that is to eat a LITTLE less (by 200-400 calories) than the amount of calories you need to use in a day. If you eat too much less, you body goes into fat storage mode, and your attempts at starving yourself will backfire, as you will get fat quickly again when you start eating again. \n\nGo to the site below to get info on how many calories you need in a day. You can enter your personal information and get a free report.\n\nGo to weight watchers if you really want an effective way to lose weight and keep it off.

if you want to lose weight, do it the right way!\n\nGet yourself a proper diet, go out and find a gym or sports activity you can join, and make it a part of your routine life.. just like coffee breaks and watching TV. This way youll avoid many side effects, plus the personal satsifaction of achieving a personal goal through hard work which I think you will cherish more.\n\nExcercise dont have to be tough, and diets dont have to be extreme.. just look it up and do it the right way.. find out what suits you best and start immediately, theres no better time!
