Most likely you will lose weight.  THe key is to burn more calories than you take in.\n\nI lost 105 pounds in 6 months.  Here is how I did it.\n1. Every morning get up and walk for 45 minutes.  You can start with less time, but you want to get up to 45 minutes, and it must be fast walk. You want your heart rate to go up.  It must be in the morning, it kick starts your metabolism.\n2. I cut out Red Meat, and fatty foods.  Boneless skinnless chicken breast, baked, or grilled, rice and vegetables (steamed).\n3. Eat half.  Just eat half of what you normally eat.  Put 1/2 on your plate, and put the rest away.  Cook less.  When you go to fast food, get salads only.  Or grilled chicken.  No fries,  only diet soda. Or water.\n\nIt will work, once you get into a routine, you will get hooked on the results, and you will keep the routine.  It has been over a year for me.  \n\nA sight with some really cool diet calculators and interesting calorie counting calculators is here.  Check it out.\nhttp://www.caloriesperhour.com/\n\nCheck out my before and after pic at my yahoo 360 page\nhttp://profiles.yahoo.com/gorillamyke\n\nStay motivated, and get up and walk every day.  I seriously lost all my weight starting off my day on my walk. \n\nGood LUCK!

I think the best way you could lose weight and keep it off, is to sit down, think about what you eat, and don't eliminate it, but cut down on your proportions. If you like hamburgers, instead of eating two, eat one, or instead of one eat a half. Snack in smaller amounts, along with exercise. That way you condition your body to be satisfied with less, exercise to take off what you have, and mentally deny nothing so that the diet stays and is not unhealthy.

No substitute for controlling calories and getting more exercize.   Make changes that you can stick with as a lifestyle, not temporary "diets".   Walking 60 minutes a day will make a difference, done all at once or little at a time.  Don't try to do too much, or you'll just get discouraged and give up when you don't see instant results for all your hard work.  If you walk an hour a day everyday, you're going to lose weight.  Your appetite will come under control and your metabolism will increase.  \n\nWeight training is also effective (in addition to walking).  Building lean muscle mass will help you burn more calories all day long.\n\n"Junk food" comes in many forms.  Breads, pasta, potatoes, rice, and other simple carbs can do things to your blood chemistry that will interfere with your goal.  Eat lots of fresh vegetables, and not too much fruit. \n\nLimit your portions.  Eat 5 meals a day.  That way you don't get too hungry, and your smaller portions won't seem like such a deprivation, because you know you're going to be eating again soon.\n\nEat slowly, and not in front of the TV.  Enjoy the food.  Most people with weight problems don't truly enjoy the food, they just eat absent mindedly and don't really take time to savor each bite.\n\nStart your meal with a healthy soup, or an apple, and you'll find that it's easier to control your calorie intake.\n\nIf you find yourself wanting more food after a meal and feel like you can't resist the urge, then tell yourself that you can have more, but that you just have to wait 30 minutes.  There's a good chance that the craving will pass, especially if you don't make it a prohibition.\n\nDon't sweat it if you make some bad choices sometimes.   But try to at least make better bad choices.  Don't supersize it, for example.   Better yet, if you "cheat" and visit a fastfood joint, pass on the fries.  Don't look at it in terms of since you've cheated anyway, you might as well enjoy yourself.  Minimize the damage.\n\nGet plenty of sleep.   Lack of sleep triggers inactivity, hunger, and slow metabolism.

Fast.  Fasting will produce sure weight loss.  It will also reset your set point weight or clean out your system.  Just drink at least 8 8oz. glasses of distilled water.  If you don't think you can fast then eat nothing but lean protein.  For example one or two scrambled eggs for breakfast.  Homemade hamburger patty with lettuce, tomato, onion, and dill pickles.  Mustard is OK no mayo for lunch.  Baked, poached, steamed, broiled or roasted chicken (remove all skin before eating), steamed broccoli with lemon juice splashed on for dinner.  Snack of 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese with a diet diet sugar stirred in.  Drink only distilled water.  You can add lemon or lime juice.  You can do it!  You are about to change your life going into the service.\n\nOh, by the way if you do deceide to fast for ten days, when you come off the fast you MUST come off of it slowly.  A little cottage cheese with some toast and jello and chicken broth for a few days.

a healthy diet and exercise is the only safe way to lose weight and be healthy. Choose foods that are low in fat and sodium. Ditch the sodas and drink more water. Check the sugars on the labels of food you eat. Eat a light snack of fruit and a few almonds between small meals to keep you from getting hungry and binging. You should eat every 2-3 hours-small meals. That will keep your metabolism running and get you lean. Prepare snacks and meals ahead of time so you will have thme ready and have no excuses. It's not easy, but you have to stick to it to make it work. Find a friend to do this with and it'll be easier with support. Good luck!

Eat a huge breakfast, a medium sized lunch, and a tiny healthy dinner and eat your last meal before 7 pm every day.  Do that, and walk at a brisk pace twenty minutes a day four days a week and you will lose weight.  Not necessarily quickly, but you will.\nAnd no soft drinks!  Water, fruit juice, and skim milk.

with everything you're going through- the best way to lose weight is to monitor the type of fooods you eat(stay off the fast foods and typical snack items) and equally important is to get back to exercising.  Stay off the pills- most either don't work, but a few are potentially dangerous.

The fastest way to lose weight is diet and exercise. Plenty of exercise is fast. You need to go to the library and check out some books on nutrition. You don't want to do a harsh diet and hurt your body from nutrients and vitamins. Bake all your meat, nothing fried, green vegetables and plenty of water. Good luck

Start out by walking 1-2 miles a day. Cut out all junk food. Eat only Raw foods (Fresh, not processed foods) No fries (Unless baked in the oven. Follow serving sizes on foods. Stick to low-fat, but not necessarily fat-free. You need at least 20% fat per day in your diet. Remember that losing weight and keeping it off means lifetime changes, not just temporary.

To start, the rule of thumb is burning more calories than your consuming.  Replace high fat/calorie meals with vegetables and/or fruits.  For example, when you make a sandwich, use fat free mayo, low fat cheese, and a healthier brand of meat.  Snacks, use fresh vegetables or fruits.  Stay away from the additivies like dressing, mayo, anything that usually makes the meal so much better.  Be careful how you cook, breading and frying are the worst.  Trying broiling or grilling.  In your vegetable intake, you want to stick with fresh or frozen over canned because of the sodium and preservatives.  As far as a workout, walking/running is the best workout that you can do all the time.  Swimming is a great fat burner but if your like me, you can't swim everyday.  Make breakfast or lunch your biggest meal.  Dinner should be light, due to the fact that you will probably be going to bed shortly after.  However, you don't want to starve yourself, that screws your matbolism all up.  Everytime you eat a meal, your basically jump starting your metabolism.  Its actually a lot healther to eat 5 really small meals throughout the day than 3 big meals.  You really want to start working out, running, walking, sit ups, push ups, etc.  These are the basics that are really easy to do.  Biggest thing, cut back on sweets, cola's, and your dressings/sauces.  Just don't try to loose weight really fast...it will only hurt you in the long run.  You can do, it's not an overnight process, the temptaions are tough.  Eating out, watching a movie, being bored.  Good Luck ;)

Just do it.\n\nCut out the fast food joints, or have the salads, get rid of all the junk food in your house and replace it with fruits and veggies.\n\nIt's hard, but you can treat yourself with the mini candy bars or the occasional big mac.\n\nYou don't have to cut out the junk completely, just balance it with better foods.

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!

Eat breakfast. Eat lunch. (Must eat)\nAfter 7, never eat. If you have to drink water.\nHave a regular life style.\nReduce whatever you're eating to 1/2 or 3/4.\nTry to avoid fatty foods. And NO SNACKS!\nThis alone (w/o exercise) should make you lose weight really really fast.\nBut don't keep this up forever. Excercise is the only way on loosing weight and staying healthy.

MAJOR exercise of some kind at LEAST three times a week.\nDrink 8 glasses of water a day, or more.\nWhen you feel like snacking, have something completely fatless - like herbal tea, celery, REAL fruit juice (not a fruit "drink" or "beverage" full of sugar).\nStop putting butter/margarine on your bread.\nStop putting cream/milk in your coffee/tea.\nPut up a picture of the body you want on the fridge and think positively about it when you're about to eat something you shouldn't.\nNO JUNK FOOD. PERIOD.\nSmaller portions.\nDon't go to the grocery store when you're hungry so you won't buy instant (unhealthy) foods.\n\nGood luck.

Just a few suggestions:\n1. Switch to whole wheat breads.  For sandwiches and hot dogs.\n2. Cook your own meals.  No eating out -much.  Get the fruit and whole wheat if you can when you eat out.  It doesn't taste very good.\n3.  Eat apples, oranges, bananas, walnuts and pecans for snacks.  They will make you hungry.\n4.  Avoid potato chips, sodas, pizzas, mashed potato's and gravy, and macaroni and cheese.\n5.  Eat salads with small amount of dressing.  Eat whole wheat bread with your salad.  Eat a small steak with your salad and green beans.\n6.  Drink orange juice, milk and water.  Drink tea mixed half unsweet and half sweet.  No sweet and low.\n7.  Buy real Maple Syrup not the corn syrup.  Eat your oatmeal with real Maple Syrup.  Scramble your eggs with cheese.  Eat whole wheat pancakes.\n8.  No pork.\n9. Eat chicken, fish and sometimes beef.\n10. Eat turkey.\n11. Use Olive Oil to cook with.\n12.  Use real butter not margarine.\n13. If you are full, you are full, stop eating it is okay to still be hungry if you have eaten something.\n14.  Enjoy a small desert or skip it.\n15. Enjoy a peppermint after a meal.\n\nLook at the clock and jog in place until 10 minutes have passed when you get up in the morning.

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).
