First thing first...Don't stress. Cut down on the junk food and start drinking a lot of water about 2 gallons a day. Eat small meals every 2-3 hours. Healthy meals with a lot of fruits and vegtables, not a lot of red meat of fat. Try eating more chicken(boiled, barbequed, broiled) also try eating salmon or any other low fat fish. If you do that combined with a jog or brisk walk everyday for an hour of would you rather go the gym 3-4 times a week for 2 hrs you will be skinny in no time. The weight will be melting off. You will probably lose anywhere from 5-10 pounds a week for the first couple of weeks. After that don't get discouraged because the wight wont be comming off so quickly but it will come off be patient and think positive. It won't be easy but it will work.

Do a tun of crunches. If you have like 30% plus body fat 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

There is no healthy way to "lose weight fast" as many diet products claim to do.  No fad diet, pill, or product can do the work for you.  The best way is to follow a sensible, lower-calorie diet and exercise plan.\n\nIt takes 3500 calories lost to lose 1 pound of fat.  If you create a deficit of 500 calories per day, you will lose 1 lb per week.  This can be accomlished through following a meal plan and exercise regimen.  You should do cardiovascular exercise (jogging, dancing, etc.) as well as weight training (free weights, lunges, crunches, etc.) to both burn calories and increase your metabolism.\n\nI use SparkPeople.com as a way to track my food and exercise, and they have great message boards where you can get answers from experts and people with more experience.\n\nIf you sign up for it, my username is lolitaeyes!

You are probably looking for a better answer, but the simplest and best way to lose weight is to keep track every single thing that crosses your lips each and every day.\nI've been tracking calories since mid-June, and have lost 25 #.  I'm not one to "diet", and I love to eat, but I got to the end of my rope and was miserable with myself.  Some useful tools are the calorie diary/tracker, and the Calorie King books that give nutritional information on nearly every restaurant, and all food types.  We eat out more than most, and I've done it through out this entire weight loss.\nPut your mind to it, as my Grandma used to say, and good luck to you!

there is no easy way.  if you adopt a training routine and stick with it, you'll not only loose the weight, but you'll feel better day to day and gain mental strength from it.  \n\nthere is no magic formula.  adjust your eating habits and begin exercising.  if you have the money, get a personal trainer.  it would be a good investment, as nothing feels better than being healthy.

A great way to lose weight is to incorporate exercise into the patterns of your life. That is . . . take the stairs when you get the chance.  Walk to the store or the metro.  Make a habit of doing a "counter-pushup" every time you go to the fridge.  Quick situps as you wait for the microwave. (Believe it or not, I do this.) It's got to be part of your life for you to continue to do it.\n\nPlaying with what you eat is also helpful.  Try new recipes (lots of sites online!) and Cooking Light is a good way to find light recipes.  More vegetables, fresher ingredients. . . you may find it's fun to experiment with healthier food.\n\nHate to say it, but losing weight takes work and dedication.  You've got to consciously think about what your life looks like now, how you can change.

It's really not healthy to lose a lot of pounds quickly.  Your best bet to lose weight & keep it off is to lose no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week.  Doing regular aerobic exercise and weight training along with eating a sensible low fat (lots of fruits & vegetables) diet will get you on your way.  You can get free workout plans and diet info at about.com in the fitness section and at fitrex.com.

A simple guide? Okay, here are the basics, but you probably already know them:\n\n1. You MUST burn more caloies than you consume daily. \n\n2. Drink only water. Soda dehydrates you.\n\n3. Find a physical activity you enjoy & do it at least 4 days per weak for 45 minutes or more at a time. You must get your heart rate up and work up a sweat. (Martial arts class does it for me!)\n\n4. If you exercise before you eat breakfast in the morning, you will lose weight a little faster.\n\n5. Muscle burns more calories than fat, so lifting weights will help.\n\n6. Walk as much as you can in addition to your exercise.....park farther away from the door, take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk to the store if you live close enough, ect.....\n\n7. Stay away from all things fried, sugary, or carbonated.  Eat as many vegetables as you wish.

The best way to lose weight is simply to elevate your heart rate at least 30 minutes a day. You dont even have to exercise for a long time. You dont have to job, jump, or do stairs. Just do anything that raises your heart rate pretty high for a few minutes, and your heart will continue to pump fast and burn calories. Instead of eating a few big meals a day, eat many small meals.\nMake realistic goals like 5 pounds a month and stick to a routine. Have confidence in yourself and dont obsess by looking in the mirror everyday. It will happen, just have patience :)\nI made a site to check BMI and calories burned per day. It's not all that great but I spent a lot of time adding quality links to the further links section.\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/lose_weight.php

Just use the weight watchers point system, that should take care of everything.  Lots of fruits and vegetables (I ate carrots like it was going out of style).  Pick what works for you but don't go over your allotment of points per day/week.\n\nWeight watchers is the ONLY system proven to help people lose weight.
