Depending on what kind of time you have you can lose five -ten pounds a week by hitting daily 30-60 minute cardio training sessions. Balance this with high repetitions weight training with light weights 15-20 reps.
Eating will be tricky, you want to cut your calorie intake by around five hundred. Try replacing meals with high nutrient/vitamin shakes and low sugar juices. Limit your pastas and breads increase fruits and vegetables.
This is a temporary solution that should not be kept up with for more than a couple of weeks. This is not a life style that you should adopt for long term results. If you are interested in really making some lasting changes I am a personal trainer and lifestyle and fitness coach, I really don't mind giving free advice through e-mail.

I have lost 45 lbs in about 6 months, and the easiest way I know to lose weight, & I've tried it all, is to lower your consumption of high caloric foods (like fried foods, stuff with lots of fats and processed sugars) and exercise. One day aerobic, next day weight training. The weight will fly off. Oh yeah, have some great motivation, helps you stay focused. Of course check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program. Best wishes.

Healthy food for weight loss
Is it possible to eat more food and actually lose weight? Absolutely, if you eat more of healthy foods than empty calorie foods (junk food).
Not everyone realizes that you do not have to deprive yourself in order to lose weight. What you have to do is eat more of healthy foods, leaving less room for "bad" foods. If you eat healthy foods - meaning foods high in vitamins and nutrients and are flavorful - you will find that you want less of high calorie or empty calorie foods. Having a variety of foods that you like and want to eat makes it easier to maintain any changes you make to your diet.
When making any changes to the way you eat, do so slowly and don't criticize yourself if your changes take time to become a habit. Study after study has shown that making small changes is what counts. One change at a time will be easier to accomplish and stick with than making a lot of changes all at once. Every little change you make will bring benefits to your health and your waistline.
Here are some changes you can make one at a time that can give you quick weight loss results:
Eat breakfast
A lot of people skip breakfast. This is a big mistake if you are trying to lose weight. Studies show that those who do not eat breakfast will overeat later in the day. Also, eating breakfast gets your metabolism going, and so whatever is eaten in the morning is metabolized better. If you are not a breakfast eater, try a fruit smoothie or other nutritional shakes.
Drink water
Try to drink at least 8 glasses of water per day. Ice water is best because it will speed up your metabolism. Water is, of course, calorie free and flushes out fat. And lastly, drinking water about a half hour before eating will curb your hunger and will make it less likely that you will overeat.
Add vegetables
Adding vegetables to some of your favorite dishes is a good way to get in some extra servings of veggies every day. Some examples are: sauces, soups, omelets, sandwiches, and salads. Of course, vegetables make a great snack by themselves or dipped in low-calorie dressings.
Try to eat more salads
If you're anything like I used to be, as soon as I heard the word "salad," I would immediately think "boring!" That is until I figured out how creative one can be when making a salad. Try adding new vegetables that you haven't tried before or adding boiled eggs, strips of grilled chicken, cheese, and/or nuts. Keep fresh lettuce and spinach leafs on hand, and remember to go easy on the dressing or make your own healthy salad dressing. A healthy and great tasting dressing is mixed olive oil and lemon juice.

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. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. 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 protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none 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 county 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. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Instead of eating 3 large meals a day try eating 6 smaller meals. Aerobic excercise, lots of water and no carbs after 8 oclock and you'll notice a difference very quickly.
Unfortunatly if your extremely obese its never going to come off without some serious hard work.

I did the 'Master Cleanse' for ten days and lost about 20 pounds. I did not experience any ill effects from this process.
It involves ingesting ONLY a mixture of pure water, fresh lemon juice, grade B maple syrup, and cyenne pepper.
Just run a search for 'master cleanse' if you want the details.

The Atkins diet, although not the best for you, you will drop a whole lot of weight quickly. Otherwise, I use Weightwatchers online, which works well, but a lot slower.
Drink your an ounce of water for every pound you weigh everyday as well.
